The top rollers are fine. But there is no screw holding them in place. They seem to be in a slot in the frame.
I don't want to pry the bottom one's out without some advice.
Thank you for reaching out to us. Normally the 84-001 has an adjustment screw that goes through the patio screen up from the screen spline groove. See the video related on this page for "How to repair a spring roller".
However, I don't see that adjustment screw in your door. Could you send us some photos showing the location of the adjustment screw in your door? We would also like to see some photos up inside the cutout in your door where the roller comes out at the bottom. This might help us identify how to replace your roller.
Dave: Thanks for your reply. I have added some more pictures that may help identify the part.
I was able to remove one of the wheel assemblies from the top of the door by sliding the strap out of the "slot" in the aluminum frame.
There is no screw in the frame beside the screen. There is a pic of the edge of the corner of the frame that shows the large philips screw holding the frame together, there is another smaller philips screw above that screw that can't be turned (maybe that is supposed to be the adjustment.
There does not appear to be a "corner brace" in the door. It is quite wobbly when out of the wall frame.
What do you think I should do?
Thanks, Don
Thanks for getting back to us, Don. It does appear that your roller looks like a match for the 84-107 or 84-001. I'm just not sure how it is held into your door frame.
Did you have any type of screw-up inside the cut-out of the door that held the roller in place?
As for the corner of the screen, maybe you need to tighten up the corner screw in the frame or install a new screw into the corner. However, I would suggest spraying the corner screw with some type of spray lubricant like a WD-40 so that the screw will come out easily. You don't want to break the screw.
Looking at your existing rollers, I do believe you could replace them with the 84-106. My question is how do you adjust your rollers in the door?
I just got a notification that my email address has been removed from this discussion. I want to continue to investigate how to fix the screen door.
Please add me back to the discussion.

I do not know how the rollers are adjusted. The small screw in the corner cannot touch the spring.
I personally have never adjusted the rollers. The door is very light, I think that it relies on the springs in the assembly to hold the door up. - May be wrong.

Regarding my name being deleted from the post - I think that I hit the unsubscribe button by accident. I hope by responding to the above post I am back on the list. thanks. My email is above.
I am thinking that I should order two 84-106 to install in the bottom of the door to see if it works. Since the ones that are in there will have to be destroyed in taking them out, because they are either frozen in place, or the wheel turns and I cannot get to the strap because the bracket holding the wheel is frozen to the frame.
What do you think? Dave, I appreciate the time and effort you put into answering my questions.
Thanks,
Don
I'm afraid I am not able to re-subscribe you to your discussion. You will have to keep track of our conversation by clicking on this link here. I am very sorry for any inconvenience.
I think the 84-106 is a good place from looking at your photos, yes. You can find our return policy here just in case.
On removing your old rollers, check to see up into the cut-out if there is a small Phillps screw. In some doors, there is a small Phillps screw that goes through that hole in the roller spring into the door.
