Default How Do I Rehang Patio Screen on Its Track?

Jim after looking at your pictures it appears that you have a design where
the screen frame is set into a piece of channel that holds the rollers.

Look at the end view of the door to confirm this, If this is the case see if
you can separate the channel from the screen frame, and coax the channel
into position and then set the screen frame into the channel.


On all the patio doors I have worked on, the screen has spring loaded
rollers on the bottom and spring loaded glides on the top. To install, you
slip the top into the track and push all the way up, then push up the
rollers on the bottom to pop them over the track.

Hope this helps.

About the time I had mastered getting the toothpaste back in the tube, then
they come up with this striped stuff.

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:
