Andersen Lower Screen Roller Assembly (1991 to Present) 1 Pair - 1997310 by Andersen Windows

After watching a YouTube video, I decided to have a go at rescreening and replacing the rollers on my tattered screen door. The replacement rollers came with simple instructions and it was literally a snap! If you can read, you can do this. I expect these rollers to last another 20 years like their forerunners. I highly recommend this DIY project and these rollers.

Our patio door in the sunroom was hard to open, so we replaced the rollers. It now opens very easy.

Why did I wait so long? Looked up instructions on youtube. So easy. Parts work great for Anderson screen door 1991 or newer. Needed a flat head screwdriver to depress plastic clips that held in old rollers. My old ones were so old they fell apart so removing was easy. Inserting new ones was even easier. Door slides great. I replaced both upper and lower rollers and cleaned the track.

Recommend watching video. So easy to install and needed no adjustment

This was an exact replacement for my sliding door screens roller hardware.

Easy to install and effectively corrected misalignment to allow for good fit and easier sliding

Brought 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!

This product was used to replace rollers on an Anderson Patio screen door. I priced replacing the screen door, it was almost $400 but the repair company technician recommended trying to replace just the rollers first with out having to spend big money to replace the entire door. I figured I would at least try it. Well, it worked and very easy to install. I would recommend this to all.

Best value

After 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!
