The nylon blind nut for the adjustment screw is stripped and I'm not sure if it can accommodate a larger screw since it is very brittle. Can I replace this part? If not, what are my options? Will an 84-074 fit in the same cavity as my current assembly?
Thanks in advance, Robert.

Hi Robert, I believe your door uses an adjustment screw set that is no longer available. Comparing the size of the two rollers it looks like you could use the 84-074 as a replacement. However I believe it would be easier to use the 84-001 wheel along with the 84-502 adjustment screw. When we used to manufacture patio screen doors using the 84-001 spring roller, we used the 94-502 adjustment screw. To make the hole in the screen door we used a 9/64" diameter drill bit and "reamed" the hole a little. Then we threaded the 84-502 screw into the door frame. You might be able to use your existing parts you already have. I believe this would be a little easier repair on the door then trying to install the 84-074 roller. But It's your call. I cannot guarantee these will work, but take a look at the related video and let us know what you think! |
