The sliding screen of my storm and screen combo doesn't slide. It either sticks completely so you have to walk around the house and pull it out OR it just fall out with the lightest push. I don't have a clue how to fix this. This is a house I am renting so I don't want to have to do major work. Thanks.

Make sure that the track that the screen door rides in is clean. Then check the condition of the rollers. Replace or adjust as needed. Also, is the screen door binding at either the top or bottom? It the rollers and track are good, it won't bind at the bottom, and there should be top guides in place to keep it from binding at the top. If it looks too expensive or too complicated, ask your landlord to have it fixed so that it works properly.
