Sliding Door Adjustment Screws
Use the screwdriver to adjust this first screw.
Sliding door adjustment screws. You may only need to adjust one of the screws to get your door back on track or you might have to tinker with both sets. Turning the screw counterclockwise raises the wheels on the sliding screen door. Sliding doors slide best when a uniform gap is maintained along the edges and bottom of the door. The screws usually aren t difficult to rotate but you could lubricate them with a penetrating oil if they appear rusty.
To check the adjustment stand back and look at the door from the outside. Turning the screw clockwise will cause the sliding screen door to become higher as the wheels lower. There should be a uniform gap along the bottom and top edges of the door. If the side with the adjusting screw is too high causing it to bind at the top turn the screw counterclockwise.
The sliding screen door lowers which makes it possible for you to remove the sliding screen door. Rotate the screws clockwise to raise the door or counterclockwise to lower it. Locate the first screw on the sliding screen door wheel assembly. Take a peek inside the slots at the screws to see whether you need a flat head or phillips head screwdriver.
As the adjustment screw turns the door either raises or lowers with the rollers allowing for a proper position of the door in the track.
