Sliding patio screen door. Patio screen door kits
Screen doors on patio doors are able to let in a lot of fresh air and if you have a storm or screen door at the opposite end of the house, it also will provide cross ventilation. Screen doors are a good way of cutting down the time for air conditioners to run. There are however a few situations where the door may cause you some headaches. The screen door is supposed to keep out flying insects and it will do this as long as the screen is not damaged or cut. Keeping the screen in good condition is no problem as long as you don't have a cat , dog, kids or absent minded grown-ups trying to walk through a closed screen door.
Another weak point with many patio screen doors are the locks and latches. They are often of inferior quality and it doesn't take much before they fail. And then there is a challenge of preventing the screen from getting damaged.
A cheaply constructed screen door may have weak corner brackets which may result in the door getting out of square. If this happens the door no longer slides easy along the track and has the tendency to stick and jam. Every time this happens the corners will weaken further and sooner or later you will have to replace the entire patio screen door.
