    Can't find screen door replacement
    I have an 8 or 9 foot screen door for my sliding door. The wheel are completely busted and don't roll on the track. I tried taking the wheels to Lowe's and Home Depot... neither of which had the same ones. Both the sliding door and screen door DO NOT have any Brand or label on them. How can I go about getting new wheels or a new screen door. I hate that it's summer and I can't even use this screen door :(

    I see ads on TV for a screen called Magic Mesh that appears to velcro on to the door jamb and then has magnets to hold the opening closed after you walk through it. It might be 3' wide and you'd have to buy more than one.
    You could find a door and window specialty supply house. Bigger cities have them, and they would be able to identify the wheels.
    Also, look for a brand name on the door itself, sometimes on the glass in a corner, very hard to see.

    Thanks! Funny u mention the Magic Mesh... I actually looked into that as a friend told me about it too. They only come in standard size though... It wouldn't be long enough :(

    The only marking I could find on the glass is TUF-FLEX which when I research it... it just what the glass is... I don't think it's the brand of the door. Ugh.


    I will look into a door specialty supply house... thanks!!
