6 year old video helped me out today in 2020.👍🏿

[@joannalalicata1281]

Me too. 2021

[@womboloywomboloy7353]

Once more in 2022

[@xdarkartemis6136]

10 year old video helped me out in 2024 😌

[@vernano372]

I have struggled with screen cleaning and moving and replacing them for years, and never have I seen the majestic trick of the SCREW mentioned before now. Thank you sincerely for making the seemingly impossible, possible.

[@ambrr_lily]

This is the 4th one I've watched but the first one that made sense! I'm a visual learner, and this style works perfectly for my brain!

[@UziKamozi]

Thank you for the video! Very helpful to watch instead of guessing and trail n' error.

[@lynnisayarnstrummer]

What a relief to find your video! I'm grateful. Much less frustrating and much more successful that the kick and brutalize method.

[@dannelson4672]

yep, was frustrated but then Jane showed me how it's done. Made this so much better. Thanks!

[@chriscringle63]

This works!!! Also, my patio door had two screws on the top that needed to be loosened as well. Same concept. Thanks for the great video.

[@kenweber4673]

Thank you so much for this informative video. My elderly neighbor walked into her screen door and it jumped off the tracks. The information on this video made the fix quick and easy. Plus I looked good to our neighbor and to my wife. I am in your debt! :)

[@JasonOlsen]

Perfect video. It was straight and to the point, clearly showed the parts in question and it gave me the hint I needed to get my sliding screen door off the track. Now I can move on to the next part of my chore, replacing the torn-up screen! :)

[@skane3109]

Agreed. Short, sweet, helpful. Thanks Jane!!!

[@PJCobi]

Thanks! Big help!

[@RomiGonzales]

Jane...I really appreciate how you made this instruction video. I just was now able to remove my 15 year old worn out sliding screen door!! Thank you very much!! More power to you my friend. :)

[@seejanedrill]

Romi Gonzales That's great, Romi! I'm glad to be of help. Thanks for commenting! :)

[@RomiGonzales]

Jane you're welcome!! With your instruction video ...I was able to replace my really worn out 15 year old sliding screen door. And the clear and refreshing view of my patio and backyard is soo wonderful for my senior citizen eyes!! :) :)

Love this, had to go through 10 different videos to find this info, and you give it to me in two minutes. Perfection.

[@glendareeves2317]

thanks for being straight and to the point. I wound up having screws on the bottom and top!

[@Monstrikster]

That's the trick I needed. And thanks for taking the door off and showing how the mechanism works. That was helpful and other videos don't do that. Have a great day!

[@seejanedrill]

+Monstrikster you're welcome, glad it was helpful!

[@Lightharvest-dd2bf]

To the point, well illustrated, and much better than the Ace Hardware video. Thanks!

[@rosemariemorin730]

I really enjoy your videos!! You are very clear, concise and have a "helping" voice. You are my "go-to" when I need a "teaching moment to help me fix/repair items in my home. Thank You for taking time to make these videos - please know you're making a difference !! :)

[@MaxwellBenson80]

Thank you for posting this video!! It is a easy to follow way to pop the screen out.

[@rescueone4656]

Thank you! You actually showed me where to place the roller on my new sliding screen door. It all makes sense now!

[@seejanedrill]

great, glad it was helpful!

[@denisemartinez4130]

Thank you so much! I was able to do this, replace the screen and add a doggie door all without the help of my Husband. Great Video!

[@GrumpyGrover]

brilliant. Short and to the point.

[@gh50hill1]

Thanks Jane, a big help

[@G14250]

Thank you! I was just trying to figure out how to get my door off the frame. It's cold outside so less time fidgeting the better!!!

[@seejanedrill]

Streak Pi I hear ya! You're welcome. :)

[@tmrwic]

You are one amazing friend, Jane. God bless you for all your help to us unhandy people.

[@seejanedrill]

tmrwic Thank you, tm! :)

[@tmrwic]

seejanedrill Actually, I've got it figured out! Thank you! You've given me so much confidence. Now, it's time to do the doors...

[@champ5757]

I am having a problem getting my sliding screen door out of track , i have all 4 tension screws backed completely out and can't get enough clearance to pull door out of frame, don't want to bend sliding door frame to remove but I don't know how else to get it to come out and I don"t really want to bend track out on frame to remove. Any advise. Thank you

[@kimberlyknighton1547]

Thanks! Very clear instructions! I did it myself!!!

[@seejanedrill]

Nice!

[@patb3277]

Thank you thank you thank you! I thought I remembered the sproingy part being on the top but you set me straight, plus gave more additional tips!

[@revstrong1]

Very helpful 👍

[@RealMuperSan]

Can you buy replacement wheel parts at the big box home centers? I searched and didn’t find it...

[@nancya.7354]

So glad I found this! DIY replacing my old screen mesh successfully because of it in 2023 😁

[@CBBC435]

Straight forward and to the point. Thank you!

[@dentalhigenius5997]

THANK YOU!

[@adorabledeplorble8497]

I just love you and your helpful hints!

[@lcahoon2866]

Great video. Informative and concise.

[@vivian9803]

I found our screen was installed the wrong way with the lock on the outside and needed to flip it. Done under five minutes thanks to you!

[@sa159753sa]

OMG thanks a lot! never noticed the screws on the side!

[@seejanedrill]

My pleasure

[@Litarider]

About to re-screen but the company’s instructions didn’t review how to remove the door. Thank you.

[@FTroop37F]

Thank you, Jane

[@garyglenn3654]

Helped me out in 2022! 👍

[@mango4064]

2022 and this video still showing the way. Thanks!!

[@JohnOhkumaThiel]

American in Japan, just moved, and am told by the management that if I want window and door screens, I'm going to have to pay hundreds of dollars. Well screw that! I'm taking the old ones with me. After all, apparently they're not owned by the building, so they're mine to take. I haven't messed with this type of thing in a long time, so I was expecting a slightly better way, and what you explained is fairly obvious, but your experienced explanation is appreciated. Now about cleaning them before moving them to the new place ...

[@tburns6555]

SeeJane, SeeJaneFix, thanks Jane! ;) I had no idea those wheels could be pushed up! Now back to the door that won't come out!

[@joekotara5067]

Excellent tips. Got my door off immediately.

[@philbertshevitz3113]

Your video helped, I'm now a subscriber 👍

[@reverseuniverse2559]

Great advice 👍

[@scaredavocado8154]

Thank you Jane

[@WorldofIndominus]

You are super helpful. Thank you!

[@FrankOConnor]

Thanks Jane!

[@danieltheteacher]

I don't even have a sliding door, but I love your videos:)

[@seejanedrill]

Thank you! I appreciate your comment.

[@danielnewman3441]

mine is a channel not a track so there are multiple types.

[@Astiko1029]

THANK TOU SO MUCH!!! Omg that was frustrating till I watched this

[@annlesage6886]

Thanks! Very helpful!

[@deniseherud]

Thanks so much! Exactly what I needed!💗💐

[@seejanedrill]

my pleasure

[@Monstrikster]

I trashed the first try because I didn't angle the blade away from the screen but it's done now. Thanks :)

[@seejanedrill]

+Monstrikster great, glad it worked out!

[@miriamszabo8304]

Thanks for the help

[@seejanedrill]

you're very welcome!

Thanks for sharing

Thank you

[@milesgearin1934]

Worked for me too! Thanks!

[@andrelebel7148]

Thanks!

[@LindsAyWithAttitude]

Wow!! Thank you so much!!

[@dknytodd]

thank you!

[@millierose919]

Thank you so much, you just saved me a bunch of $$$. I did it & it works a treat, getting it back in was a little tricky... nothing a few curse words couldn't fix though lol 😂

[@haasan9360]

I’m still cursing.. it didn’t fix it. It’s back on its track but so stiffffffff

[@TheOriginalChezza]

@@haasan9360 You may have to get the door back off & either replace the wheels or use some silicone spray on them. Best of luck

[@innersoundsacademy]

Omg so helpful! I was doing the yank method to no avail!!! 😆

[@uhhsid7780]

Her: Im gonna show you how to remove a sliding patio door Also her: So I removed the door Me:👁👄👁

[@karmanjones8346]

Awesome, thank you!! I would have never found that myself!! Haha and I’m pretty handy..

[@tonimccarthy9382]

I got the bottom off the track but now I can't get the top to release?????

[@kznate]

Very clear and to the point, but it would have been helpful if you'd shown the door actually being removed, too.

[@olsolameo1]

Wow!

[@amandatemnykh6815]

What if you have a screen door that doesn’t have the screws? I’ve searched all around on mine and there aren’t any. I am stumped!

[@Indy_at_the_beach]

Not all doors are the same. On mine one cannot slide a screwdriver under the wheel because there is a track that encloses the glide track

[@user-vl5bf1wx3r]

Thank ya sista! That’s all I needed! 👍🏽

[@davekenney1874]

you did not show how remove as in your title

[@seejanedrill]

The video clearly identifies the tensioning screw on a screen door and demonstrates how to adjust the tension on the wheels, so that can be depressed the wheels and lift the door off the track.

[@lkw5699]

Going to try this...gulp

[@XanderBeckett1]

Her wife must be one lucky lady

[@Litarider]

Now I need to get those screws back in the door. It’s not going so well.

[@tamekaanderson4344]

OMG...NO one and I mean NO ONE broke it down like this. That screw was the missing part of the puzzle.

[@justiceaustin2377]

This lady sounds like Oprah I love it

[@JP-bg9vk]

Next time you do a video on removing a screen door do a video where you actually remove a screen door.

[@nijasi7517]

If the screen were still in the frame, she wouldn’t have easily been able to demonstrate locating and adjusting the mechanisms on the screen to release it. If you still don’t get it, you might be slow. There are special programs for people such as yourself. Good luck.

[@muffinman145]

It’s a “quick tip” video not a how to. Try reading

[@JP-bg9vk]

@@muffinman145 I read fine - “How to Remove” is part of the title. Weird to reply to a comment made two years ago but whatever.

[@JP-bg9vk]

@@nijasi7517 Read the title moron. Weird to respond to a comment ads two years ago.
