That dog went through the screen again, or the kids ran into it again. Either way, there is a big hole in the screen, and the door is flapping in the wind. For front doors, back doors, and sliding porch doors in Tampa, Excellent Sliding Door provides door screen repair as well as door screen replacement. We repair mesh, fix hardware and fix the frame of your door so you can use it again.
What Goes Wrong With Screen Doors
People usually describe it in one of these ways:
- The screen is torn or pushed out
- The door will not latch or close all the way
- The door closer is broken and the door slams
- The frame is bent or the corners came apart
- The hinges are loose or rusted
These are typical door screen repair projects that can make an old door look new again with a simple replacement of a screen and spline or closer.
When Door Screen Replacement Makes More Sense
So if the door frame is solid then fix the door. But if the door frame is severely bent, rotted, or heavily rusted, then you’re better off replacing the entire door. You’re not going to make money pouring money into a door that’s falling apart.
Replacing a door screen can also serve the purpose of upgrading to a new door. Heavy-duty frames make better doors for busy families. Pet screen options can also be selected to resist scratching by cats and dogs. Some customers are interested in a sturdier door that offers additional security as well. Not only can a new door offer improved function, but it can also offer additional color options to match trim work around your home.
Our Door Screen Repair and Replacement Service
We inspect the entire door before recommending any repairs. Our door screen repair in Tampa can include:
- Rescreening with standard or pet mesh
- New spline to hold the screen tight
- Door closer, latch, and handle replacement
- Hinge repair and door adjustment
- Full screen door replacement
Most repairs start with a quick look to see how the door is hanging and often a small repair can solve what appears to be a major problem.
Local Homes and Local Weather
Porch doors to the front of your Hyde Park and Palma Ceia bungalows located near Bayshore get a lot of use. Salt air is particularly harsh to door hinges and latches. A strong afternoon storm could cause doors that don’t latch to bend. Before that happens and they cause damage to the door frame, make sure to fix the latch so it will close properly in the wind.
Simple test for a sticking screen door: close the door slowly to the stop and look at the latch. If it misses the latch, then the door must have moved, or the closer is weakened. Try to tighten the hinge screws first. If this does not solve the problem, then there must be some repair work carried out.
