Hello,
I would like to adjust the angle of my external flyscreen sliding door, so that it is parallel with the frame. Shown in the photos, the door is slightly tilted away from the frame, which means that at the top join point there is quite a large gap between the frame and the door.
I have fixed this same problem the inner glass sliding door using a screwdriver to adjust the bottom wheels, however there are no adjustment holes in the flyscreen door. There are a few screws along the bottom, although access to these is blocked by the frame, and I'm not convinced they are adjustment points... The brand of the sliding door is "LockTech" if that helps.
Any thoughts/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Hello @lm4
If your sliding flyscreen door is tilted, it's possible that one of the wheels suspension springs has failed and given way. In order to get access to the wheel assembly, I suggest trying this method. From the outside grab both sides of the flyscreen and lift upwards, the wheel assembly should now be free of the track, and you can swing the bottom of the door out.
Look carefully at each wheel and see which one of them has a soft spring or has failed to pop out. When you find the broken wheel and housing, I recommend bringing it with you to the store so that you can compare sizes. Once you have the correct replacement part all that's left is to re-install the new wheel assembly and slide the door back in.
You'll notice that when you slide the door back into the top aluminium guide the wheels are now catching on to the bottom rail of the aluminium frame. You just need to push the wheels in with a screwdriver so that it travels back in and settles on the track.
If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.
