Sliding Screen Door Repair Tips (DIY)

Introduction

Sliding patio screen doors don’t actually slide. They roll on little plastic wheels. And when those wheels wear out or break, the door doesn’t slide or roll — it drags. But putting an end to the drag is no drag at all. Replacing wheels is easy and takes less than an hour.

Does Your Sliding Door Need New Wheels?

To make sure your sliding door actually needs new wheels and the dragging isn't being caused by another issue, first make sure the track for the wheels is clean. Then try adjusting the wheels. If the door still drags, or it’s obvious a wheel is broken, it’s time to replace the wheels and do a patio screen door replacement.
