How To Put Sliding Security Screen Door Back On Tracks

It doesn’t happen often, but if it does, you might want to know how to put your sliding security screen door back on it’s tracks!

We have demonstrated in a video below and have also outlined in a step by step guide.

Step By Step Instructions

Firstly, the only tool you will need is a Phillips head screwdriver and a step ladder. If you can get an extra pair of hands too that will be a big help too!

Get the rollers/wheels ready

• You will need to adjust the top rollers/wheels from being locked in, as you need them to be spring loaded.
• The roller/wheel adjustment will need to be done from the inside view of the sliding security screen door.
• There should be a small hole on the inside of the top frame where the screw needs to be loosened to get the roller/wheel to be in spring form.
• Get your Phillips head screwdriver in this small hole and turn anticlockwise until you can press the roller/wheel down inside the frame and it springs back up again.
• Make sure you do this to the 2 x rollers/wheels on the top frame.
• Before grabbing your extra hands for some help to lift the security door, check the bottom rollers to see if they are locked or spring loaded.

Get ready to lift the screen back in place

• If they are spring loaded, push them up in the bottom frame as you lift the door and insert the top of the frame inside the top track first.
• If the bottom rollers are locked, this should be ok, as the top rollers/wheels are spring loaded by now.
• Once the top of the frame is back inside the top track, and the bottom rollers/wheels are pushed inside the bottom track, you need to push the bottom frame back on the bottom track and release the bottom rollers.
• Fingers crossed, you should now have the sliding security door back on it’s tracks!!
• Lastly and to finish off, you now just need to adjust the top rollers/wheels in the frame (from the inside) by getting your Phillips head screwdriver and turning clockwise to tighten the rollers/wheels to make them secure.
