Hi All,

Got a price from a mobile screen door company to
replace my sliding glass window screen doors. (My
screen doors are falling apart, rollers are all
broken, etc..).

They give a life time warranty on a whole new door.
$325 each. Is this a reasonable charge?

And their minimum call is $135, so a roller job can be
pricey.

I'd find a local shop (door and window) and take the screen doors in
to them. $650 for two slider screen doors is outrageous. IMO. If you
just need rollers; they can be replaced, ordinarily, if the frame and
screens are in good condition. I replaced rollers on my 8' glass doors
in less than an hour. YMMV


I can't figure out how to change the rollers, or I
would do it myself. I hear there are stainless steel
rollers out there too.


You don't want SS rollers. Then you will be wearing out the track
instead of the door.


Sounds like a lot of work. I lived in a 1,500 sqf mobile for 13 years and after 8 years I needed to replace the same type of screen door. I contacted the people who built it and they said they have been using the same size screens on all their doors and sent me a replacement set for under $ 150.00 dollars.
