Lock For Screen Door – A screen door is a superb way to not only allow some fresh air and sun into your house, but also to keep insects and other pests out in the same time. By employing a screen door, you also have the capacity to keep your house enclosed, while still allowing a breeze, either when the weather is hot or anytime you just need to allow a little bit of atmosphere in. Although you can purchase display doors for your house, they are actually fairly straightforward to make, requiring only a few supplies and tools, using simple building techniques. Screen doors can be very simple in layout, or can be elaborate, depending on your needs and building skills.

Supplies you’ll need, you’ll require some thin wood inventory to use for the display door construction, a hardware frame for the door itself, and display meshing, together with a 1/4 inch by 3/4 inch screen molding. You will also require paint brushes, glue brushes, varnish and 1 inch nails.

Choose a well-dried timber to avoid future timber shrinkage, warping or swelling. Measure the dimensions of the door you want to build, and cut on the horizontal and vertical pieces to match. While building the door, it can help clamp the door bits to a work table. To make the corner combines, in addition to when adding the center horizontal support piece, you will want to take off half of the depth of one piece of timber where they will intersect with a saw, so that the general finished thickness of the joint will be equivalent to that of one piece of wood. Use a polyurethane glue and a brush to attach the timber support bits together, then clamp and let it dry completely. Once the adhesive joints are completely dry, you can sand the door, and apply a stain and clean finish, or paint the door if desired.

Adding the Screen to the Door, Putting the door flat on the job table, measure the general opening and cut a piece of display material to the appropriate dimensions, leaving several inches around the edges to make installation simpler, which is trimmed later. Lay the display over the surface of the door frame, and staple it to the peak of the frame, pulling it closely towards the bottom of the door. Make sure that you pull on the display tightly from the horizontal directions too, keeping in mind that display will elongate over time. The display can be soldered right to the door, as the staples will be covered by molding that will be set around the edge of the display. After the display has been stapled firmly into place, trim the display and cover the edges with all the display molding.

Finishing the Job, Once the door itself has been built, it is possible to install the door frame , and attach the new screen door to the frame. Attach a door handle and secure the door to the frame with spring hinges so that the door will shut mechanically.
