Door problems in Lanett tend to sort into two groups: older homes where the frames and jambs have taken decades of weather, and newer builds where the hardware was the cheapest part of the package and has already given up.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895What Lanett weather does to screen door repair
East central Alabama runs humid most of the year with mild winters, so wood movement is gradual but constant rather than dramatic.
Humidity corrodes the steel components in screen rollers and rusts the tiny springs in adjusters, so screens seize up and drop out of their track.
Grit accumulating in the screen track is the reason most screens get hard to move, and it wears the small plastic rollers far faster than the weight of the panel ever would.
We see the pattern often enough across Chambers County that we usually know what we are looking at before we arrive.
Local factors we account for in Lanett: sustained humidity and grit and dust — typical of east central Alabama.

- Work out whether it is the screen or the trackA screen that jams is often a track problem. Replacing rollers in a damaged track fixes nothing.
- Check the frame for squareA racked frame will never slide properly. Corner keys get reset before anything else is considered. Jobs in this part of the state get their weatherstrip assessed for heat and cold, since both extremes show up here.
- Choose the right meshStandard fiberglass, pet-resistant, solar or fine mesh, depending on pets, sun exposure and what insects you are dealing with.
- Rescreen with correct tensionEven tension and properly seated spline so the mesh does not sag or pull out of the channel.
- Fit and adjust the rollersBoth rollers set so the frame runs level and the latch meets its keeper without lifting.
- Check it stays in the trackA screen that can be lifted out is one gust from being on the patio, so the height and the guides get set properly.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895What affects the cost of screen door repair in Lanett
We would rather tell you what drives the price than quote a number that turns out to be wrong once we see the door. On a screen door repair job in Lanett, the main variables are these:
- the mesh type chosen, from standard fiberglass to pet-resistant and solar
- the size of the panel
- custom-built replacement panels where the original is not repairable
- storm door hardware such as closers and latches
- roller and track work in addition to the screen itself
Call and describe what the door is doing. In most cases we can tell you over the phone which of those applies to you before anyone drives out to Lanett.
Most doors we see are repairable.Call and find out before you price a replacement.

Click to Call (205) 619-2895Screen door repair in Lanett: questions we get asked
How long does a rescreen take?
Usually under an hour per panel in Lanett. If the frame needs straightening or corner keys replaced, allow a bit longer.
Is it worth rescreening or should I just buy a new screen door?
Rescreening is far cheaper and the frame is usually fine. New panels only make sense when the frame is bent beyond straightening or the corners are gone.
The screen slides hard even though it is not falling out. What is wrong?
Either the rollers have seized or the track is packed with debris. In Lanett the track collects a surprising amount of grit, and it acts like grinding paste on the rollers.
Can a bent screen frame be straightened?
Sometimes. Light aluminum frames can often be brought back to square, but a badly racked frame is usually better replaced, and a custom panel is not expensive.
Can you make a screen that keeps out the tiny biting insects?
Yes, fine no-see-um mesh. It has a much tighter weave, and in the parts of Chambers County near water it is the only thing that actually works against the smallest biters.
What mesh should I use if I have dogs?
Pet-resistant mesh, which is a heavier vinyl-coated polyester, and often a pet grille across the lower section. Standard fiberglass will not survive a dog that pushes against it.
