When you invited family and friends over for the July 4th holiday happenings at your place, your thoughts focused on fireworks, food and fun. A week later the fireworks are gone, the food forgotten and you?re not feeling so fun because the patio screen door is still off its track and the screen is gone missing. Well, you?ve had a week and now you?ve got to get things back on track.
Let?s start with getting the patio screen door rolling again. The screen door typically jumps the track for a couple main reasons: door fatigue, dirt, broken rollers, door too short to stay in place. The screen?s relatively fragile aluminum frame can take but so much reckless back and forth motion before quitting. The dirt, stones, leaves and other blow-ins that build up in the roller channel obstruct movement. The lightweight plastic rollers are not very durable and break down through use and fluctuating temperatures.
