this is one of the best articles I have ever had for the glass sliding door. It saved us alot of time and described everything that was required to perform the roller replacement. I could almost say that the writer was looking at the door I was working on. Thank you for a great product. |

Superb, writting, very understandable. Just exactly what I needed. I ended up with a busted glass panel, advertized for a replacement because repair was too expensive. Ended up getting replacements for free when a neighbor renovated. Now I am trying to remove the stationary panel with much trouble. I will try these instructions. Thanks sincerely. |

What if it isn't the rollers and it is the frame? How do I get this old window out? Thanks. |

Judy, if you take your roller in to a glass shop, they should be able to order any roller for you. |

Barry, they make a metal cap that snaps on the old sliding door bead. Check with local glass shops. |

Great instructions!
We replaced rollers on a late-70s aluminum 8-foor set in about an hour and a half, including the run to Home Depot for parts.
Smooth! |

What about a track that has been damaged. The track is good for abput 3'. Than there are 3 indentations along 4" of track. The door will only open to the first indent. The top of the rail at those points are like roller coaster. It is straight, tham smoothly indents, like the ouline of your finger fitting horozontally. Next is same put not as deep.
Is there any way patch in the indents, or is there a cover that slips over the old track. The track cannot be removed w/o taking the whole frame off. Thanks for any help |

I am glad I have helped some of you, and sorry I could not provide more illustrations for the rest of you. I know it's not always easy to visualize something that you read, but I really don't have the ability to include drawings or diagrams. After all, it is free advice. |

John, on most screen doors, there are rollers on the bottom. Put a putty knife or screwdriver down on the rollers and lift them up to remove the screen door. Once you have the door out, you will see one or two small screws holding the rollers in place. Remove the screws and take one of the rollers with you to match them up with the new ones. There are several different kinds. After you have the new ones installed, you should have a tension adjustment screw either above the roller, or through the hole on the side of the door frame. That screw raises and lowers your roller. |
