Screen Door Repair in New Brockton, AL

What we see on screen door repair around Coffee County

Sandy soil here drains fast but also shifts, and blowing sand is a constant presence in sliding door tracks and screen channels.

Wind gets behind a screen panel and pushes it out of the track, and on hinged screen and storm doors a gust catching the door is what tears closers out of the frame.

Blowing sand abrades screen mesh and packs into the screen track, and a screen track full of sand will not let a panel roll no matter how good the rollers are.

We see the pattern often enough across Coffee County that we usually know what we are looking at before we arrive.

Local factors we account for in New Brockton: storm wind and blowing sand — typical of the Wiregrass.

How we approach screen door repair

  1. 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.
  2. Check the frame for squareA racked frame will never slide properly. Corner keys get reset before anything else is considered.
  3. Match the mesh to the exposureOn a sun-facing opening, standard fibreglass will be brittle within a couple of seasons, so we specify accordingly.
  4. Rescreen with correct tensionToo tight and the frame bows, too loose and it billows. Even tension is what keeps a screen flat and quiet. We look at how much sand is reaching the opening, since sometimes a sweep or a threshold change does more good than new hardware.
  5. Fit and adjust the rollersSet so the panel rides smoothly and stays captured in the head channel.
  6. Test the full travelThe door should move with one finger, latch cleanly and stay in the track.

What affects the cost of screen door repair in New Brockton

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 New Brockton, the main variables are these:

  • storm door hardware such as closers and latches
  • custom-built replacement panels where the original is not repairable
  • the mesh type chosen, from standard fiberglass to pet-resistant and solar
  • rescreening versus repairing or replacing the frame
  • the size of the panel

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 New Brockton.

Screen door repair in New Brockton: questions we get asked

Do you repair storm doors as well as screens?

Yes, including closers, latches, sweeps, hinges and glass or screen inserts. Storm door closers that have torn out of the frame after a gust are one of the most common calls.

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.

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 Coffee County near water it is the only thing that actually works against the smallest biters.

My storm door blew open and broke. Can it be repaired?

Usually yes: the closer and its mounting take the damage. We repair the mounting and fit a wind chain so the next gust does not do the same thing.

How long does a rescreen take?

Usually under an hour per panel in New Brockton. If the frame needs straightening or corner keys replaced, allow a bit longer.

My sliding screen keeps falling out. Why does it keep happening?

The rollers have worn down so the panel is riding too low and the top rail no longer sits in the head channel. Lifting it back in without replacing the rollers means it will come out again, usually within days.
