So I made the mistake of watching YouTube to find the answer to my screen door problem and used a screw driver to get out the runner bracket part but now I can't figure out if its an easy replace the broken bracket and runner or if its a real stuff up and there's a thick screw inside that I think was holding the runner bracket In place and the screw to undo that has been threaded and can't come out.
The only solution I can see is to take it to a door place and get it all fixed up.
Is there a way I can fix it?
And it turns out the runners just popped off given a little nudge,which I found
out on the other runner.
Hi @kgr,
Apologies that a couple of our resident Bunnings D.I.Y. experts are taking a well-earned break at the moment, so there might be a bit of a delay before one can get back to you.
I suspect they would recommend you head into your local Bunnings Warehouse with the broken parts and try to see if you can find a match. For example, in this previous discussion about sliding door runners, @EricL said recommended the Rolltrak Security Door Carriage and Roller as a possible match. He suggested bringing the old assembly into the store to compare for height and width, and for the wheel there were a number of possible replacements such as the Rolltrak 32mm Replacement Roller.
Hope that helps.

Hi @kgr
Your wheels appear to be of a standard size, I recommend measuring the size of the hole in your screen door as there might be a compatible set that just slides in such as the Cowdroy Security Screen Wheel Sliding Door Track Accessory, Rolltrak Adjustable Heavy Duty Nylon Carriage And Roller, Rolltrak Adjustable Nylon Carriage And Acetal Roller and the Rolltrak Security Door Plastic Carriage And Acetal Roller. There is no need to worry about the stuck screw inside the screen as long as the replacement set fits and does not hit it.
If you need further assistance, please let us know.

Hi @kgr,
What about the Rolltrak Security Door Plastic Carriage And Acetal Roller? The internal section that slots into the door is slightly larger than 31.6mm, so I wouldn't have thought that was too wide if you have 35mm.

So I went to bunnings and asked for the right one, bought it home, it doesn't fit. Turns out it's the wrong one even though the girl scanned it to check.
I've attached what I received. Not sure how to get the right one when this is the one that was in the right box and scanned.
Also I took a photo of the bit inside the runner area. This bit doesn't come out so I can't see how the fitting will fit up into the space. Any thoughts?
Hi @kgr,
That does appear to be the Rolltrak Security Door Plastic Carriage And Acetal Roller that I mentioned as they both carry the same model number of 3032. Was it the size of it that caused it not to fit? He's a scaled printable sheet for verification purposes.
The fitting inside the door appears to have a spring mechanism. If you push it, does it retract into the frame, allowing you to insert the carriage?
