Universally handed latch for right or left latching screens.
Simply rotate patio screen for right or left hand operation.
Durable weather resistant powder-coated finish.

Top quality PVC coated fiberglass screen for maximum ventilation and protection from insects.
Designed with rubber weather-stripping to seal out insects and debris.
I watched your video before I read the installation packet. I chose to go with your video for installation instead of the instructions that came with the door. I put it up in 2 seconds - with no problem. My door is 36 wide by 80 tall. It was my third door - trying to find the adjustable door was a problem. My landlord bought the door and dropped it off for me to install. I never told her I was a handyman but I worked it out. Thanks for the video...
I fell for all the five star reviews on the Lowe's website. I bought two of these doors. They really are crap. The door itself and the screen are decent enough. The flaw with the design is the spring loaded expanders. I got the door all lined up and in place just like the video shows. I carefully tightened the four screws on the expander sections. You have to be extremely careful because the screws don't actually screw into anything. they rely on the tiny bit of friction created by pushing the expander section against the door frame. I thought everything was great, and I was about to write another glowing review for the Lowe's listing. And then my wife went to open the door. The two screws on the bottom expander slipped. The door dropped an inch and fell out of the casement. We spent the next half hour trying to put it back into place, but now the two screws on the bottom expancder section are useless. They just turn and turn and turn. Nothing ever gets tight. It's amazing to me that they designed such a ridiculous weakness into this door. For just a few pennies more they could have designed it so that the four screws actually screw into something like a nut or something similar. I hope I can get Lowe's to take these crappy doors back.
Rob Lettman perfect review. At the very least the bottom screws should tighten
@@imagemaker666 Sorry, but your negative review was based on the door being damaged when it fell off your frame, clearly stripping the screws..then you spent 30 min trying to jerry-rig a damaged door instead of bringing the door back for free replacement? This, my friend is what we call "user-end" issues" not the product itself. If the door wasn't damaged or if you'd simply returned it once you realized the screws were stripped, you'd be joining the rest of the 5 star reviews.
Oh, and for the record, don't pursue a career in engineering or construction in general for that matter, this could not be designed with a "nut" as you off-handedly guessed at, the nut would have to be internal, and totally inaccessible to the installer, rendering it useless. Had you not accidentally damaged the door, you'd never have needed it to screw into anything, the screws secure the spring-loaded bracket more than firmly enough to do the job perfectly. This door is great quality and a bargain at $98, even came with a stepped-up screen material that I had to pay a screen door company to replace my screens with to stop our dogs from tearing it with their nails. You may want to base future reviews on the products prior to accidental damage during your install. Next time return the item, Lowes would have replaced it immediately
I agree
I purchased this door as a replacement for a Pella Thermstar sliding patio screen door. It installed perfectly the first time, and is much stronger than the one it replaced. It even came with the heavier duty screen and steel rollers, both of which I expected to have to purchase separately. My only problem is that I threw away the latching hardware and Grisham doesn't have the replacement parts in stock.
Jim,
At the moment we do not have the replacement strike. Here`s a link to Amazon for what the item looks like and availability. www.amazon.com/Prime-Line-Products-148-Sliding-Adjustable/dp/B000I1RR5C/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=sliding+patio+screen+door+strike&qid=1591037101&s=hi&sr=1-2
Thank You,

I only needed a vertical of 77 5/8"... As such I was able to leave the bottom wheels basically grounded and adjust top & bottom only for verticality. I still was very careful with the philips screwdriver on both, but it works beautifully.
Furthermore, I used those cork-squares that were stuck on for - I assume - stacking on their sides, to make a little ramp taped into the upper track so that the width of the outside of the adjustment system didn't bang on the vertical edge of my door frame as it came to close. I used 2 of the other corks to prevent the 'slam' into the frame as it closes. ( I also plan to make a little block at the opening end to keep the door from over-crossing the center-vertical stile of my main door...)
Were glad that it all worked out for you.
Thank You,
Grisham Bros
This is an outstanding product, it even comes with an upgraded screen material in case you own a dog, keeps your dogs nails from ripping the screen, and steel rollers that used to be nylon. Every last negative review here was due to people who can't follow even simple directions, they either bought a size clearly not in the range listed, or they over-torqued the screws and stripped them (even that can be fixed in 2 seconds with a slightly "fatter" screw. If you have no handyman skills, pay a pro to do your home repairs, don't blame the product LOL
Great buy
@GrishamBros how you reply so politely to the "negative" reviews is amazing, to all those here who over-torqued the screws and damaged their new doors, then blamed the product....are you kidding me? You practically have to crank the screws in tight enough to bend metal before this door would strip. The rest of you don't know how to use a tape measure, the size range is clearly marked, your door frame was too big and you blame the dealer? Pathetic.
Is there a way to replace the rollers? I have this door and have trouble keeping the expanders tight, then they slipped and as door fell out it broke a piece of the rollers out. Looks like they aren't replaceable and now I need a new door? Bought house with old screen door already and it lasted another 12 years (replaced rollers once), then bought this one and it lasted about a year and seems to need to be replaced because expanders don't work well and now rollers damaged.
Please email Grisham Bros at info@grishambros.com with the issue experienced.
Thank You.
i purchased the item for 79.98$ in Lowe's and bottom screws slip. My door height is 80.5 inches. we followed exact same process like mentioned in video but the bottom screws slips like mentioned in the comments below. any ideas how to fix this?
KD,
#8 x 1/2" long sheet metal screw will correct the issue experienced.
Thank You,
Grisham Bros.
@@grishambros7662 Thank you!, is this manufacturing issue ? 8 x 1/2" long sheet metal screw- do i have to replace all of the current screws and replace with these? why don't you provide guidelines for this faulty product? Or reduce the cost
I like how the theme music for GrishamBros is a sped up version of "Damn It Feels Good To Be A Gangsta" by Geto Boys - th-cam.com/video/6IJCFc_qkHw/w-d-xo.html
I bought one of this and spent my 78$ on it.
But ending up find out my door height is 80.5 inch. Now the top of the screen "Golden wheel"(used for sliding) have just 0.5 inch of gap; what to do?
Syed, the model with the height adjustment to 80-3/4" was discontinued and replaced with a unit that adjust from 76" to 79-1/2" inches high. More than likely you purchased the 79-1/2" screen . I have supplied a link to the most recent 76" to 79-1/2" sliding screen TH-cam video for reference. I`m afraid you will not be able to make the purchased screen work with your patio door sizing. Thank You, Grisham Bros.
We bought the 77-1/4 inch to 80-3/4 in but it doesn’t fit. It is too tall. The measurement is 77-3/4 for the door. The bug barrier and black plastic is too tall. Are we supposed to try and saw it off or buy a different door? Thanks
Nora,
The screen will adjust from 77-1/4" to 80-3/4" The fit measurement is taken from your upper and lower rail or channel configuration. The bug sweep is cut to fit, as shown in the video.
Make sure you have released the top and bottom expander screws to allow for the height adjustment.
Thank You,
Grisham Bros.
I tried to install this door (Grisham #0877539) today without success. My opening height is 77 5/8" from top track to bottom track , and the door is about 1/2" too long to go into both tracks, even with top & bottom expanders at their smallest (no expansion whatsoever). I've tried putting the bottom in first, and the top won't go in. Then I tried the top in first, and the bottom won't go in. I've tried with all expanders unscrewed all the way to all expanders tightly screwed in the shortest position. Is their any other adjustment to get the extra 1/2" shorter that I need? Or do you make a slighter shorter door?
James,
Does the packaging indicate the 77-1/4" to 80-3/4" fit range? I`m wondering if you purchased a clearance unit prior to the revised sizing. If not, the 877539 model should compress and fit easily.
Thank You,
Grisham Bros
@@grishambros7662 Thanks for getting back with me on the same day that I emailed. Yes, the packaging indicates that it fits the 77-1/4" to 80-3/4" range. I bought it yesterday (5/15/20), but it WAS on clearance. Is that the problem, and is the revised sizing model slightly shorter? Does the door with revised sizing have the same model number?
As I said, even at full compression, the door was just slightly too tall to fit in the tracks. I even tried removing both the top and bottom expanders completely to see if I could shrink the height down enough, but it still wouldn't go in.
@@jamesrauscher310
If the packaging states the 77-1/4 to 80-3/4" then you have the model with the correct sizing range. Not sure why the unit does not fit. I just grabbed a unit and was able to compress to the 77-1/4" size range. The new units replacing the clearance models have all of the same features with the exception of a slightly wider frame.
Do you sell the top track also? Our house has the bottom but not the top track.
We do not sell the track kit. They do seem to be difficult to source. Could purchase some U-shaped extrusion and make your own rail or channel.
Thank You,
Grisham Bros.
Thumbs up from me.?
I bought this. The rollers keep sliding off track due to being to close to the edge thus dislodging when the roller passes the track and falls off from the drainage portion of the track... any way to fix this?
Sean,Some of the late model patio doors have the shortened bottom rail system designed for drainage. We are going to address this issue with redesigned roller spacing. At the moment, I`m not exactly sure when the new product will hit the stores, but should be very soon. Really no way for you to modify the current screen unit or to extend the rail system for the required rail span.Thank You,Grisham Bros.
@@grishambros7662 Hi, I just bought one from Lowe’s and NOT being a handy woman, how do I know if I have the old or new version. Granted it was less than $30 I still don’t want to put in all the effort & frustration of installing if it’s not worth doing at all. Model #0877535. Is that the old or new version? Thank you in advance.
@@adriankap2978
Adrian,
You have purchased the old version. The new version will have a slightly wider frame. All other features remain the same.
Installation is simple and should not cause you any frustration.
Thank You,
Grisham Bros.
Danged things don't work on my doors. Needs rollers for a channel, not riding on a ridge.
I cannot get it fit. I don’t need to expand it but lower it. How do you do that?
Release the two screws on each adjusting expander. This will allow the unit to contract and expand as you position onto the rails. Unless your patio door unit is greater than 80-3/4" high, then the slider unit should fit fine.
Thank You,
Grisham Bros.
GrishamBros Thank you- will give it a try
Same Process. Simply release the expander screws and compress the top and bottom.
How come I can't find any way to contact the manufacturer, Grisham, of this patio screen door? No phone number or email in the manual or online? This video is all that Google produced. I need help with the lock latch toggle. I have the 48x80 wide screen door so mine is different than the one in the video. Need a phone number or email to contact them, or else I will take this back and get a different one. Does anyone have contact info for this company? I need help, please. Thanks!!
Andrea, Please contact Grisham customer service at 901-290-4311 Here`s a TH-cam link to what is probably your screen door: th-cam.com/video/E32LdGwBmvM/w-d-xo.html
Thank You,
Grisham Bros.
Having the same issues with this product. Once installed , screws don’t hold and the door drops down. CRAP product. Wish I would of went with another brand.
The key to better results is not to over tighten the expander screws, since they will loose bite. Can correct with one size up screws.
Thank You,
Grisham Bros.
Crap product my Aunt Betty, you over-torqued it and stripped the frame which damaged your door permanently and you blamed the maker? Even then, anyone with a modicum of home repair experience would have figured out you could fix YOUR ERROR with a slightly larger screw. My wife would have figured that out! Please never work on your own car as you have no concept of torque.
@@grishambros7662 I really don’t want to leave a negative review. Would you recommend another type of screw I can use besides the one that came with the screen door please? Thanks.
@@TriniDB Step up the screw one size. Should bite and hold.
@@grishambros7662 thanks will do! The screen door looks good. I really want to give it another shot! Thanks for the response!
Do not buy this Sliding Screen door! The expanders simply don't stay put. The screws do not hold and if your door is truly 80 inches, you run a strong risk of having the sliding door be slightly too short. I am taking this back to Lowe's!
Peggy,The height adjustment is from 77-1/4 to 80-3/4" Tightening the screws is not necessary since the expanders are able to free float on the top and bottom rails. Tension is achieved by the leaf springs within each expander.Thank You,Grisham Bros
GrishamBros no the springs won’t hold it in place, eventually fall out. The design should allow to tighten at least the bottom screws. Both sides “floating” simply does not work.
No user error. These doors are made in China cheap crap.
These doors are total garbage. Don't waste your money on this universal crap.l
Absolutely the best engineered sliding patio screen doors on
the market. Easy fit Adjust from 77-1/4 to 80-3/4 with floating self adjusting top and bottom expanders. No laying flat on your deck or patio trying to adjust rollers onto the rails with a putty knife. Best screen door hands down. Hope you give one a try.Thank You, Grisham Bros.
@@grishambros7662 I've purchased this door and it's a piece of China-Cheap garbage. It's flimsy and poorly made, and the screws for the self adjusting top and bottom strip and don't hold. I took this crap door back. WORTHLESS! You should be ashamed selling this junk.
Your experience might be related to user error. The expanders with the heavy duty rollers can be secured in place or allowed to free float over the rails. Most online rating are 4 to 5 star for this product, with an emphasis on how well the product is engineered.Thank You,Grisham Bros.
@@grishambros7662 The screws in the expanders are useless. they never get tight enough to hold the expander in place. and the spring action of the bottom expander is nowhere strong enough to hold the door up at the maximum expansion. My door opening required that the top expander be fully expanded and the bottom expander had about a half inch left. With the screws on the bottom expander providing no friction at all, the springs are not even lifting the door a tiny bit.
The internal leaf spring applies a good amount of pressure to the
expander. Difficult to understand what you are experiencing and under
what circumstances. I could suggest allowing the top and bottom expanders
to free float without being secured in place. This would evenly balance
the outward expander projection top and bottom. Reviews are Five stars,
we have no input or control in the review process.Thank You,Grisham Bros..
