Adjusting a sliding screen door so it does not stick


Sliding screen doors are made to slide smooth across you tracks without having to push or pull them. The first thing that will need adjusting is the rollers on the top of the screen door frame and on the bottom. You are going to need a fillips screw driver for raising and lowering the roller up or down. Some are made out of plastic and others are metal ball bearing, these slide the best and will usually be able to work when trying to fix them.

Make sure to use the encasement where the lock is to guide you in leveling it properly, the right and left rollers will tilt the patio door from one side to the other until it is as straight as can be. If you detect other problems like a bent, cracked or warped frame this too will cause it to not caught. One of the most common problems that happens to a sliding screen doors is someone walking through it and bending and breaking it, outside of dogs, cats and kids this is one of the reasons we are in business.

Does you sliding screen door fall off track?


The main purpose of the sliding screen door is to slide on the track, if it falls off then the screen is not working properly and need to be fixed. You should not have to force the screen across the opening, if it is sticking or getting caught it probably needs to be adjusted. Sometimes the rollers are not metal and may be worn down.

If the screen door is fairly new and the wheels are not raised enough for the screen to glide right it will fall off track and stick. Try reaching over at the bottom raising slots which are next to the roller and with a fillips screw driver turn clock wise to lift the patio door, if this does not help then you may need to have a mobile service come to your home and give you a free estimate.
