Ok, my door has been off the track for a year...I finally searched how to fix, and your video was the first to pop up...fixed it in less than one minute! Seriously people. KZbin will change your life!

[@ImBlubb]

Steffi Valdiviez im right there with you. This was so easy and I’m mad I didn’t look earlier. Thank you

[@rosaliepudlo]

Your instructions were so perfect, I was able to fix my patio screen door myself. I am sooo happy. Thank you. Thank you. I'm 66, female, widowed, live alone ..... it only took a few minutes to do this repair and I'm glad I didn't have to impose on anyone for help. You are awesome.

[@jeanne1271]

I'm 66 live by myself and hope I can fix mine

[@Pinkers1977]

Thank you! You have helped this newly divorced woman on my own actually fix something and feel empowered. It's the little things that help. Now my screen door works and I can let this fresh fall air in!

[@cindymiller6125]

Im 65 years old . My screen door has not worked in over a year. Watched this vidio and w/in 5 minutes it was fixed. Thank u so much . Your are a life saver

[@TomahawkDIY]

That's great, Cindy. Glad it worked for you

[@cretnotonic]

OMG, this was a lifesaver. I thought it needed oil because I steam cleaned the track just a week prior. But it was the wheel! OMG, this was so helpful. Like someone else said, it was fixed in under a minute!! THANK YOU!!

[@eternalwynter2254]

Wow thanks so much!! Our dog jammed our screen and your video came up on my search. Fixed it immediately. We used our butter knife :)

[@usandhu]

Just amazing...was about to rip off the screen door out of frustration but thought of searching on you tube for once...thanks a lot for this simple but effective solution. You saved my door !!

[@mikemcclintic7275]

Big thank you! Was getting ready to spend $200 on a new screen door. Took me 2 mins to fix it after watching this video.

[@nelsonmuntz7218]

Works great! Easy fix. As for the person complaining "not good or professional," perhaps you should describe the professional way rather than just critiquing.

[@Mckcvision]

I was about to call my agent to send someone to fix it for the fourth time. I finally decide to do a search in KZbin and found this sensational video. I was capable to fix it in less than 1 min since Tomahawk DIY had shown me the mechanism of a fault sliding door. The rest is history. Tomahawk DIY You are a champion!

[@sassietroy428]

Thank you so much! I just re screened the screen door and figured out everything else but couldn't get it to roll correctly. Your video fixed it instantly. My cats thank you :)

[@dougprentice1363]

Clear and concise instructions, i appreciate that

[@TomahawkDIY]

Thank you!

[@DougBei]

Another guy here fixed his screen door. Thank you!

[@truthprevails7085]

Thank you! It took a bit of maneuvering but it's finally fixed! No more waiting for maintenance man and next door neighbor!

[@magicmarker1961]

My dog raced out the patio door and took the screen door off the track this morning. You helped me so much to fix it!! I used a butter knife too. It took two minutes.

[@pyootchnich]

Dude. I’ve been living for two years with this issue and finally did something about it. I'll get to the point by saying your advice worked perfectly. But now I’m embarrassed. I considered myself a pretty handy guy. I even poured olive oil on the track - yeah not so smart. Then WD-40. Then I went to KZbin, specifically, here. I thought there’s no way I could be this simple. Victory is mine. Victory is mine. Great day in the morning, victory is mine. I drink from the keg of glory. BTW, that's some ninja s#!T, being able to fix 300,000 screen doors. congrats!

[@vg3388]

Thank You! I had the screen replaced in my sliding door and it wasn't on the track. I followed your direction and now it slides correctly!!! :)

[@TomahawkDIY]

Excellent!

[@ybrik5937]

I usually put my garbage bins in front of backyard sliding door. So last Jan 28, 2019 winter storm 15~20com, the door was full of snow. I cleaned it from the outside, but even then, the temperature outside is -12C. Was having problems opening it and somehow it came to a point it would slide a bit only. So I thought I damaged the rollers. So today, Saturday -5C outside, where the channels of the sliding door had melted, I tried the tip/trick above, lo and behold, it's just a roller off the tracks! Thanks for this vid and saved me a call for a repair guy. Will donate!

[@ajpmersin]

ybrik5 thank you I’m 62, recently widowed, fixed and tightened the sliding screened door.

[@courageogbebor493]

11 years later and this helped out big time!!

[@TomahawkDIY]

Glad to hear that the video was able to assist you even after all these years. Thank you for watching!

[@BronzedTube]

Hey dude, not sure if you still check this channel, just wanted to chime in and say thank you. I was just preliminarily looking to know what to expect and your video was straight to the point. The biggest part that helped the screen door for me was the tract wheel needed to be cleaned. Didn't seem like much dirt in them, but it was causing it to derail, and I did need to adjust the wheels a tad as it was getting caught up when opening too. It isn't 100% but its pretty close. Thanks again fellow earth dweller. Liked and subbed.

[@TomahawkDIY]

Glad it helped! Thank you for the sub!

[@iamirish4361]

Thanks for the video. Additional tip is to clean the debris out of the track and then use WD40. It allows the screen door to slide very smoothly.

[@sandraroberts1931]

I do that too but my sons adult Doberman went headfirst into it, bouncing off the screen like a giant tennis ball with legs…and so it’s messed up.

[@LHyoutube]

Thanks for this! Managed to fix it myself and avoid a callout from the landlord 😄

[@anierajraj]

Thank you for this simple fix video. Butter knife does the trick. I did have to watch another video to understand the height setting screws for the wheels which helped me tighten the door into the frame. I didn't even think it was square before noticing this fix. It would nearly fall out of the frame until I tightened these screws. Thing is, my screen door has setting screws in holes along the vertical edge where it meets the wall: one at the top and one at the bottom (of the exposed edge with the handle, anyway). This video shows setting screws along the bottom and I'm sure it's the same idea, but I had trouble locating mine. Tightening (clockwise motion of) these screws will cause the wheel to protrude from the door lip giving a tighter fit to the frame! Loosening (or turning counter-clockwise) causes them to recess and will cause the door to wobble with slack. All is well and it doesn't mess up nearly as often now. Thanks again!

[@andreasguntoro5399]

Stephanie R thank you, you explain the detail of my screen door nicely thanks again.

[@anierajraj]

Glad I could help! I still have to adjust it once in a while as it loosens over time with use, but I'd just consider that maintenance of an old door. Cheers man!

[@jasonjasniewski5925]

Thank-you! You saved me the extra expense of replacing a door that, as it turns out, didn't need replacing.

[@armandom.5299]

The direction in which the wheels move up is CRUCIAL for success in this journey!

[@drleach44460]

Thank you, thank you! I am a 75 year old woman living alone. I did what you said and it was easy and worked excellently!

[@TomahawkDIY]

That's Wonderful! Glad it helped

[@lizb.8156]

Thank you!!!! My dog ran into my screen door and we thought he bent it but it turns out it was just off the track!!! Great video! God bless you!

[@GioBouc]

Well just wanna say thank you, this video helped me fixing my screen door ink as than 2 minutes, great explanation :)

[@MSS726]

Thank you! I like that your video is direct and to the point. Fixed in under 2 minutes, after a certain person destroyed the vinyl frame on my new patio door trying to fix.

[@MsRoadtoRiches]

Thanking you in 2019. I'm grateful to you.

[@theturtle8791]

Thanks, this was helpful! In my case I had to pop the screen door out of the frame and straighten out a bent roller. It's working a lot better now!

[@justinabranham4212]

Just fixed mine using the putty knife, its been stuck completely open since the previous owner of the house. This southern California heat was my motivation to make it work tonight at 11 pm lol..thanks!

[@RyokanDaigu]

Wow! Your method allowed me to fix the door in exactly 20 seconds. Amazing!!!

[@azadehsiedleczka433]

This is exactly what I needed! I had no idea this is what I needed to do, nor how easy it would be. My sliding door’s been off the track for a couple weeks now, and I’ve had wasps crawling in from the slight opening on the side. I did not know there were grooved wheels under the screen. Thank you.

[@TomahawkDIY]

Happy to hear. Glad it helped

[@Jabeye]

Awesome thx. I've been dealing with an unhinged screen forever...then it got stuck & I was like...WTH? Now it is fixed for good. =)

I thought this would save my day as this looks so much like my problem... But the rail here is so high it's impossible to see the rolls when we lift it. My only way to fix it seems to be using the screws in the 4 corners, but for now I fail, I can't figure how to do it... Will continue to search, but thank you anyway !
