So helpful, but oh my goodness that door really needs a cleaning!

Thanks but ewww... I can't believe you sprayed it with lubricant without cleaning or wiping the track door first.

Good video but I wouldn’t add lubricant. Typically, because the door is exposed to the elements outside it gets a lot of dirt, dust, pollen, etc., and all of that just attaches to the lubricant and eventually turns into a thick gunky mess that gets stuck in every nook and cranny of the rail system and door. Once that happens, you’re gonna have to work a whole lot harder to fix that door.

The same thing happened to me, I made the slamming noise, and it makes the same noise from the motor but my torsion spring and cables are still fine, so I don’t know what’s wrong

This vid was extremely helpful… It’s been years since I replaced the sliding screen door and I totally forgot about those adjustment access points. It makes sense that after years of use it goes out of alignment & starts sticking.👍🪛↔️

This just happened to me today. Letting a professional fix it for sure, but I thought I could manually disconnect it, and there was so much tension on the cable it really snapped back and hurt my hand. Scared me quite a bit. Just a warning, just don't touch anything!

@nk3850 Жыл бұрын
Thanks ! I lubed the tracks but it didn’t help. Noticed the screws used on the tracks stick out a lot but can’t be driven in deeper. But decided to look up a fix that might not require changing out the screws. This helps a lot! You’ve helped a busy mom of 2 ❤

What type of lubricant do you use to help the screen door slide better?
@gilesmf Жыл бұрын
I use a bar of soap. You can also use candle wax. It lasts longer than WD40.
@WhenImBackInChicago Жыл бұрын
non-stick silicone lubricant

Spray lube will attract dust & dirt.
@WhenImBackInChicago Жыл бұрын
Apply a thin coat of non-stick silicone lubricant to the top, and bottom, of the door track, and bit in the door frame, where the glass door latches. Clean-up any overspray, to avoid a slippery floor. Use a non-stick silicone lubricant, on vinyl-door tracks. If you have wood tracks, opt for a hard wax, such as candle wax, or beeswax instead of spray lubricant. If you’re ever unsure, or don’t have the right product on hand, there are specific door-track lubricants available at your local hardware store. Avoid oil-based lubricants, as these tend to attract more dirt than anything else, as you stated. 🙂

If your sliding screen door fell apart like mine and needed metal corner braces to hold it together, I discovered that the best screws to use on the braces are computer screws because they are short with big heads and are meant for metal. By computer screws, I mean the ones used to close the case or attach a hard drive or hold in a video card. I tried tiny wood screws but the heads strip and the corner was unstable.
