It’s hard to host the big game when your patio door is in dis-repair. In this Mobile Minute, we look at what it takes to replace your patio door rollers. Super Bowl Sunday is here! From fixing the rollers to replacing the screen, we’re here to guide you through the process.
Fixing Your Patio Door Rollers
Fixing your patio door rollers might seem like a daunting task, but with our professional guidance, you can handle it like a pro. Here’s how to do it:
Step 1: Remove the screen door. If you have an aluminum patio door, you may need to remove the fixed panel to access the sliding panel.
Step 2: Locate and remove all screws or clamps holding the fixed panel in place. Be patient, as these might be hard to locate due to paint or weather strip.
Step 3: Once all screws or clamps are removed, you should be able to remove the door. However, years of dirt and rain might have locked the panel into the main frame, making it difficult to remove. Professional help may be needed at this point.
Remember, while doing it yourself can save money, there is a risk of breaking the tempered safety glass unit in your door, which could turn a $30 repair into a much more expensive repair. Always proceed with caution, and don’t hesitate to call on professionals when needed.
Replacing the Screen in Your Door
A fresh screen can significantly enhance your patio area before the big game. It not only improves the look of your patio but also enhances air circulation and keeps bugs out. Here’s a detailed guide on how to replace your screen.
