Screen Door Repair – Do you need help?

Screen door repair is something I get called on a lot to do. If you have pets I can install pet grade screens.
A ripped screen lets in bugs that make life miserable. How long are you going to put up with bugs in your house.
You can get screen doors that open from the top so that the pets do not wreck your screen. A retractable screen door is not a good idea if you have pets. If you are getting a retractable screen door then get a good quality one. A lot of them the screen is loose at the top and bottom and if you are not careful opening and closing them they will not last long. In the winter or at times of the year when there are no bugs you can leave them rolled up out of the way.

Some people like the look of wooden screen doors. The problem with that is that they need to be painted every couple of years and they are not a storm door in the winter.

In order for a screen door to be an effective storm door it has to have good seals however it is not as critical as the seals on the main door since the purpose is to keep the wind and the most of the weather off the main door. It is hard to get a perfect seal at the corners of the door where the seals meet and when the wind blows you can hear the wind whistling as it enters the house. Having a storm door can solve this problem.

Many screen doors slam shut. This can be fixed by adjusting the screw on the end of the closing cylinder. Also there should be a safety chain on the door from slamming back if the wind catches it.

People think about screen door repair in the summer but your screen door is a storm door in the winter so it should be checked out in the fall before the cold weather gets here.

About the Author: Stan The Ancaster Handyman

My name is Stanley McCall. I was born in Scotland and came to Canada when 11 years old. Growing up in Brantford my mother instilled in me the importance of having a career. I decided after working my summers in factories that I would rather work with my mind than labour in factories all my life. Because of that decision, I went to Mohawk College to get a career in Mechanical Design Drafting. I found that I have a skill for understanding design issues and designing solutions in my mind then conveying that on paper so that it could be built. Throughout my career, I have designed food processing equipment, case packaging equipment, paper mills, sawmills, printing presses and steel mill equipment. I ended my career working for a global consulting engineering company checking the designs and drawings of junior engineers who had engineering degrees but no experience conveying their designs on paper so that it could be built. While I was pursuing my career I raised a family, renovated three houses and did over 20 years of volunteer work as a director in charge of the maintenance of Mount Forest Camp. Unable to retire to a rocking chair in 2014 I started my business as The Ancaster Handyman. Many people have said to me that it is hard to find a good handyman. I decided that I would be a good handyman and that it would be easy to find me and know that you have found a good handyman. To accomplish this I would have to be a good handyman, get lots of reviews and testimonials in as many places as possible on the internet so that no matter where people found me on the internet they would know that they have found a good handyman. Someone with integrity who they could trust to do a good job and could rely on to give them sound advice. Proof that I have accomplished this is seen in the fact that I have been recognized by Trusted Pros to be the best handyman in Ancaster for three years now. I am also a lifetime member of ACHP (The Association of Certified Handyman Professionals". I am Ancaster's only Certified Profesional Handyman. To be a member of ACHP you have to be committed to running an ethical business. If I say I can do a job you can trust me to do a good job. If I didn't feel I could do a good job I would refer you to someone else. If you want a cover-up job so that you can sell your house you have found the wrong handyman. I do not do cover-up jobs. My reputation and membership in ACHP is too important to risk over making a quick buck.
