Is there any way to remedy a newly installed, poor quality patio-door screen that doesn’t slide open easily?

The contractor did everything as cheap as he could, so I’m sure the screen is just too flimsy to work right. Will a new better-made screen make it work right? I want some ideas when I confront him with this. (He already has to redo many other things). The entire door was set in wrong, all the way flush with the inside of the wall, leaving a large unprotected threshold. Would that make the screen not work?

      The door slides even on the brush sealers.

      Either use WD-40 or try some grease (even vaseline could help in some cases.)
