I had to replace the wheels on the bottom of the screen door
associated with my patio door. But, I can't figure out how to
rehang the screen door. The upper rollers ride in a channel/track
the opening to which is smaller then the rollers.

Here are pictures:

This is a sketch of the cross section of the channel/track:

Tilt the bottom of the screen door towards you. Insert the rollers
into the channel at the top and then lower the bottom of the door
towards the channel. Once in place lift up and seat the bottom of
the screen in the channel.


Here's why that won't work.

I think somebody should answer who's had personal experience with this
problem.


I remember a poster here, just recently, who managed to remove an identical
screen. I don't think he's put it back yet, but maybe he could remember how
he took it off.

I'll check the archives.
