    I was so frustrated that I kicked the screen off the gosh darn frame. Should have searched "How To" videos sooner. Found this video, made the adjustments, and now the screen door is functioning properly. Thanks for sharing!

    Thank you! This was a real life saver for me. I'm old and inexperienced and have serious spatial relations problems. And I was struggling to reinstall a sliding screen door after having the screen replaced. I just couldn't figure out how to "loosen" (retract) the wheels. Your video made it very clear. I was thrilled to be able to do it myself. (I hate having to ask my guy friends to do things that I should have figured out myself!)

      Shape of door may change over time. Check if the top ones are really out fully. Not stuck

    My bottom screen door roller farthest from the handle will not adjust out from the door. Does the spring actually fail in this case? I guess I need a new roller assembly. How is that replaced?

    Handy tip, make sure your screen door is not upside- down when you install it after fixing it.

    • @gregs_garage
      @gregs_garage  Před rokem

      Upside down? I don’t think so. Wheels are on one side and the handle would be obvious

    • @gregs_garage
      @gregs_garage  Před 11 měsíci +1

      May be a tough situation. The screws shouldn’t screw out entirely but if they do good luck. Hope you can catch a thread

    • @aprilv6934
      @aprilv6934 Před 11 měsíci

      It wasn’t easy but I ended up lightly hammering them into the hole and then I was able to screw them back in. Thanks! 😊

    My door has 2 screws on each corner, (a total of 8 screws). Is this normal?

    • @gregs_garage
      @gregs_garage  Před 2 lety

      The horizontal ones are probably the adjusters.

  • @steverahm89
    @steverahm89 Před 2 měsíci +1

    Note: all screen doors are not the same. Some manufacturers' adjustment screws are turned clockwise to retract the wheels and counter-clockwise to extend the wheels. The best way to confirm this is while the screen door is off the tracks, but it can be observed while on track as well.

    • @gregs_garage
      @gregs_garage  Před 2 měsíci

      good point

    • @Morraless21
      @Morraless21 Před 19 dny

      It’s common sense, either way turn them all in the same direction and then adjust back. If it’s not working one way, start over the other way. You know how a door is supposed to close

  • @stephenbonkowski9782
    @stephenbonkowski9782 Před měsícem

    If you turn the screws and nothing happens, then what.

    • @gregs_garage
      @gregs_garage  Před měsícem

      Something is jammed up. Or the whole opening has swelled or shifted. Retract them wheels as much as possible and play with it. Maybe pull the whole damn thing out of the track and experiment. A time consuming proposition.

  • @thetruthonlydementia7379

    That's a very expensive and strong screen door. Cheapo screen doors are another story, especially replacement screen doors that aren't exactly the same as original. Then you're screwed. They bind, they stick, or they jump the tracks. I'd like to see that video.

  • @NoneOfYourBeesWax1
    @NoneOfYourBeesWax1 Před 3 lety +1

    Whatever you do, DO NOT LISTEN to this guy. If you completely loosen those screws, the entire spring assembly will pop out and you'll be left with a spewing loaded puzzle to mess around with all day.
