Many homes in Canada have a screen door fitted to their front entrance. Screen doors are very convenient because they:
- Offer your entryway protection from the elements such as wind, rain, dust and insects
- Allow you to keep your main door open so that air can circulate in the house, which is important especially in the summer.
- Keep your children and your pets safe
However, if your screen door develops a hole or becomes damaged, it will not work as efficiently as it’s supposed to and you may need to get it repaired or replaced.
At Diamond Glass, our residential glass team can take care of all your screen door repair needs quickly and efficiently and can even customize one to fit perfectly with your existing door.
Signs You Need a Screen Door Repair
Screen doors are designed to withstand outdoor elements such as rain, wind, changing temperatures as well as the wear-and-tear of everyday life.
This means they are stronger than interior doors and made from impact resistant materials. However, eventually, you will need to replace or repair your screen door.
Some signs that a screen door repair is needed include:
Your door is sticking
If you find that your screen door is sticking, some adjustments may need to be done to ensure it fits your entryway correctly.
Your screen door has dents or holes
If your screen door develops a hole, it won’t be able to keep out the debris, cold and insects.
Repairing your screen door immediately will ensure it does its job efficiently.
Broken door closer
If a screen door is wrenched open by a gust of wind, the door closer’s plunger may be damaged or bent.
In these cases, screen door repair is necessary.
Why Hire a Professional To Repair Your Screen Door
Your screen door protects your home from wind, rain and insects while providing you a safe window to the outside world.
While some people may choose to do the screen door repair themselves, hiring a professional is recommended for a number of reasons.

3. Saves You Time & Money
