While fiberglass screening is excellent at blocking out bugs, it’s not very tough, so it doesn't take much to rip it or punch a hole through it. The screen is stretched tight and secured to the door with rubber splines, which are pressed into shallow grooves. Most modern screen doors have a lightweight aluminum frame that’s fitted with a large fiberglass insect screen. If you’re using top-tension springs, subtract an additional 1/8 inch from the length of the vertical pieces. For example, for a 24-inch-by-36-inch frame, cut two frame pieces that are 22-1/2 inches long and two frame pieces that are 34-1/2 inches long. If the wheels are cracked, badly worn, or seized up and not spinning, remove them and bring them to the hardware store to find same-size replacements. Subtract 1-1/2 inches from the height and width to allow for screen corners.
To remove the screen door, simply lift it up and pull the bottom edge out of the track. We have a large variety of the highest quality frames, screens, and tracks to choose from to replace your old screen door. Therefore, it’s important to regularly vacuum or sweep the track clean along the door’s threshold.Īlso, inspect the wheels on the underside of the screen door to ensure they’re spinning freely and not damaged in any way. The screen door is much lighter and thinner than the sliding-glass door, so it tends to roll a little rougher and jump off the track more frequently.
And the sliding-screen door lets you enjoy fresh air and cooling breezes, while keeping annoying bugs at bay. Its two large, glass panels-one fixed, one sliding-flood the room with sunlight, making even the smallest space feel bigger. A sliding patio door provides one of the very best ways to connect the interior of your home to the outdoors.
