I removed my sliding screen door to replace the screen in it and found the the plastic guide on the bottom needed to be replaced.
I have contacted many online suppliers of sliding screen door parts and none of them seem to have a clue who made the door and where to get any parts.
First let me say the this plastic guide snaps into the bottom of the door and that guide then in turn rides in a slot in the aluminum threshold. The top of the door rides in a roller and track system.
The house was built in the mid 1990's and the lowest quality contractor's grade of materials was used thru-out.
That being said, I would not be surprised if the manufacturer is no longer around, But I would think that I am not the only one with this door and that somewhere out in this world are replacement parts.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Attached is a picture of the bottom of the screen door with whats left of the plastic guide I am looking to replace.
Thanks so much for the detailed picture with dimensions
Unfortunately I dont have a replacement part for this and I think you are right in assuming the manufacturer is probably out of business.
My solution would be to try to adapt an existing screen door track to this application
I do have 1/4" x 3/4" mill finish aluminum angle which could be screwed down in place of this track
Its shown on the Screen door tracks page on my website.
Hope this helps
