Got a question for y'all. I'm on my 6 or 7th sliding screen door since we bought our home in 2001. They have all been replacements from the typical Lowes or HD store, I even bought the "heavy duty" ones and they all fail after a couple years or less, the wheels lose their resistance in the spring mechanism and end up going up into the door too much, and eventually the slider is sliding metal to metal on the track. Or the wheels themselves wear out, or the screen gets trashed by pets. I have today surfed the net and seen many "heavy duty pet resistant sliding screen doors" but they don't seem that heavy duty to me once I see the specs. Does anyone have any good experiences with these sliders? And if so, what brand did you purchase? Thanks

Saturday night I went to an auction, haven’t been in a while. Had no plans to buy anything just looking to get out of the house and shop for a bit. Upon arriving and and starting to look things over I see this display box with three boxwood rulers. I have a love of these old rulers and have a problem passing them up. Further examination revealed a ruler that I had never seen before. At first glance I thought it was a wooden zig zag ruler, but picking it up, I found it to be a sliding wood ruler. The sections slide out instead of folding. The other two I have seen and had one like the middle one. I didn’t have a No 771 which is the top one. Both of them are Lufkin rulers. So so now is where the bottom is interesting, it is stamped N.Y.C Appro and below that X-4. It is also marked outside and on the others side it is marked Inside. It is also stamped “made in USA”. I have googled most everything and haven’t found this particular ruler. I found a similar one made by Interpole and with a number 106. This is one has two patent dates on it, 12/13/1910 and 7/29/1913. So so far I have searched them all and haven’t found the maker. I believe it is a Lufkin but I’m not positive. Anyway it seems to be a nice find and the first boxwood sliding ruler I’ve seen. I just love this old stuff!
