> 24 hourCheaper than going through the brick and motor stores. Super easy to install. My only concern is the plastic construction. Only time will tell.

> 24 hourIf your screen door adjustable wheel has failed it CAN easily be replaced with this sturdy replacement product. No tools are needed but I did use a thin screwdriver to position to old roller near the opening in order to remove it. The new roller just slid in and snapped into place. It fits so well and rolls very smoothly now. No more scrapping metal noise and door off the track. Good as new.

> 24 hourAfter NOT taking the advice of Others and NOT pulling out the original, I made the mistake of assuming the part I was going to need and bought a “popular” one with good ratings. They were great but didn’t work with my set up. So returned (lost $7 on shipping!) but bought these. These were just what I needed, as exact replacement parts for old (did I say old?) screen doors that are in solid shape. The plastic nature of their construction will lead to eventual disintegration as with the originals , but I was so pleased to be able to find the parts and NOT have to replace the (more expensive) entire screen door! Getting the old, cracked and disintegrated wheel unit out was harder than putting them Into place. I needed needle nose pliers and flathead screw driver (and more patience than I was born with) but I got all 3 screen doors’ cracked wheels out and new wheels installed and adjusted-and all doors slide smoothly now! In less than 30 mins. Really it should have taken 5, but I argued with the old parts a bit. The adjustment screw that raises and lowers the wheel in the bottom track is accessed through a hole in the side/edge of my screen door as seen in photo. That’s why these are shaped the way they are: the “arm” goes in first, then the bottom Wheel part snaps into place. Then you adjust the wheel by turning the screw right or left, which ever way you need it to go I order to Find a balance so that screen slides level and top and bottom close simultaneously. The plastic screw on the arm doesn’t come out into the sidewall hole though-it just barely appears (nor did the original), so I guess that is just how the mechanism works and fits. But the “hiding screw” does require you to use a smaller screw driver in order to make wheel adjustment. (See pic). We have dozens of screw drivers , so I was able to use a relatively small one (even a “pocket” screwdriver would work) that reached into the hole about 1/8” and twist the flat head screw with ease. So glad these are available through Amazon! Cheap and easy fix to allow for summer breezes!

> 24 hourThe product is perfect if you have to replace old ruined ones. Very easy to install; YouTube videos are helpful. Getting out the old ones first, as others mention, can be difficult. I resorted to grabbing them with needle nose pliers and breaking off bits til the rest dropped out the opening. Once installed they work about as well as the original, which is to say not perfectly, even when you manage to get the entire door back on track. This is not really a problem of this product, but an inherent issue with these patio doors.

> 24 hourBrought life back to an old door. Was harder to get the old, brittle ones out than to get the new ones in. Minor adjustment and it was good to go!
