Once you have cloth secured you will need to purchase a cheap screen roller from hardware store. One that has a metal wheel is best. Gently start rolling cloth into screen frame at one of vertical sides and use use roller to push in spline all way up screen channel.

When you come to a corner you will have to remove small piece of spline used to hold cloth in. and re roll new spline in and around corner using screwdriver blade to push into corner. Go slowly and carefully !, if you rip screen you will have to start from beginnning again !

As you continue rolling in spline across top of frame, have someone support back of frame with their hand, to prevent pressure on glass window above. Continue rolling in spline and then just cut away excess screen with a utility knife. You are done !

Many screens can be repaired in place in this manner, and it saves a trip to glass shop and all fuss of trying to get screen in and out. You wont have to put up with that unsightly hole in screen in front door of your house any longer !

Once you get slider out, almost all rollers are held in place by same screw that holds frame corners together. So, you need to set panel on one side, remove screw in corner, flip panel over, remove screw on other bottom corner. Now, you can take a rubber mallet or wood handle of a hammer, and tap bottom frame off glass. This will give you access to your rollers. Take a close look at how they are inserted into door frame. In fact, it's a good idea to only remove one roller to bring with you to match for new ones. Then, when you get back home, you can use roller that is still in place as a guide to installing new ones.

Places like Home Depot, Lowes, and Ace Hardware carry about 80-90% of rollers out there. So, you should be able to find them. However, let's say this just isn't your lucky day, and you can't find your rollers anywhere. You are going to have to have them ordered. Bring roller to your local glass shop. If you're lucky, they will have them in stock. If not, they can order rollers, but you won't get them for about a week. Don't panic. Just go home and tap bottom frame back on door panel, but leave corner screws out. You can even leave roller out that you removed. Lift door back in place, install fixed panel but don't snap bottom piece back in, and don't install inside screws. Then, from inside house, lift slider and pull it closed. You don't want to drag it if you left roller out. It will scrape bottom track. Just lift it enough to take pressure off, and close and lock it.

When Your new rollers come in, take everything back out and install new rollers. Adjust new rollers all way up before putting door back in. That way, new rollers won't interfere with you lifting it back in place. Adjust new rollers down until door slides good and locks. You want to be sure there is an equal gap at top and bottom when door is about an inch from closing into side jam. You can adjust rollers to make this dimension even. If you can get job done by a professional for $50 or $60 including parts, it might be worth hiring someone to do it. But, in high population areas such as Los Angeles, it's common to pay $100 in labor only. Then they mark up cost of rollers, and you could wind up spending $130 for a job that you can do yourself for about $20.
