Anderson screen door corner

V. E. Anderson corner piece

V. E. Anderson corner piece

Question



In 1970, my builder installed an aluminum sliding screen door that I believe was made by the V. E. Anderson Mfg. Co. Nice, heavy-duty construction, but someone managed to break two of the corner pieces with rollers. Anderson has since gone out of business, and I have not yet found anyone stocking the legacy parts. See photo. Any ideas on how to find some?

When I was taking the door apart to get out the broken pieces, I realized that the spline was a lot larger than my more modern spline tool was designed to fit. (I can't measure it right now because it is in a vacation rental about 200 miles away.) The good news is that both the spline and cloth are probably reusable. What tool should I try to find?

Answer


The screen door roller and corner in your picture are what I know as an "MRSA" and it's used by dozens of screen door manufacturers across North America under different names.

See my screen door hardware page for more information about it. Its likely you will find it at a local glass shop but if they dont carry them please contact me and I will supply them.

As for the spline roller, you should be able to find a useable tool at Loews and Home Depot for a one time use. I have only professional tools which will work for many sizes of spline. If you no luck finding a local supplier please contact me.

starstarstarstarstar 		Anderson corners

I eventually found a pair at a local hardware store here in Alameda. It was the last package in stock at the time. Don't know whether they have restocked.

Note that the rollers come separately. Be sure you know which size you need--they seem to come in at least 1" and 1 1/4" diameters. Turned out the larger one was too large for my channel.

BTW, I also found that CR Laurence Company manufactures a spline roller tool that is 3/32 wide, half again as large as the usual hardware store item. They are available on-line at a couple of places for about $20.
