Broken screen door roller

Question

the strip attached to the wheel, which is in turn tighten or loosen by an external screw on top has broken, I assume, due to wear. I took off the door and tried to accommodate the wheel to no avail because there is nothing to hold it in place. Could you tell me if the metal strip + new wheel can be purchased? And then, how to I open that part of the door to accommodate the new strip? I can't seem to find a way.

Anything you can tell me will help me greatly to avoid additional expense.

Answer

Many screen door rollers are held on by strips of steel which are used both to mount them on to the door and to act as spring. Sometimes you can screen door rollers in Home depot or Loews. Many glass and window repair shops also carry them.
