New doors, or fix the one you've got
Screen doors get the most use and the most abuse of anything on a pool cage. Hinges wear, frames rack out of square, closers give out, and the screen down low takes a beating from feet and pets. Sometimes it's a quick fix, and sometimes the door is done. We'll tell you which.
What we handle:
- Full screen door replacement with a new, square door
- Hinges, closers, latches, and handle hardware
- Rescreening the door and adding a pet-resistant kick panel
- Rehanging and squaring doors that drag or won't latch
- Sliding lanai screen door repair and roller replacement
- Sliding glass door screen replacement, the sliding insect screen that runs alongside the glass
Sliding glass door screen replacement in Sarasota
This is a different door from the one on your cage and people mix the two up constantly. A pool cage screen door swings. The sliding screen next to your glass slider runs on a track, it is lighter, and it fails in its own way: the rollers flatten, the frame bows, and the whole thing jumps the track and will not close.
Most of the time it is the rollers rather than the door. New rollers and a cleaned track will get a sliding screen closing properly again for a fraction of a replacement. If the frame has bowed or the corners have pulled apart, it is past that, and a new panel cut to your opening is the fix.
Screen door repair Sarasota FL: which door is it?
Screen door repair in Sarasota usually means one of those two doors, so tell us which one when you call and we will bring the right parts. If you have both a sliding screen and a cage door that drags, we will look at both on the same visit.
Repair beats replacement more often than people expect. A cage door that drags is usually worn hinges or a frame racked out of square. Both come right in one visit. The doors we replace outright are the ones where the corner keys have pulled apart. Once a door loses square it will not hold an adjustment for long.
Built to take the wind and the salt
Out here a door has to deal with sea breeze, humidity, and constant use. We hang doors with solid hardware and self-closing hinges so they shut on their own instead of banging in the wind, and we can add heavier pet screen or a kick plate at the bottom where doors wear out first. Not sure which mesh holds up best down low? Our guide to the best pool cage screen for Florida covers pet-resistant and no-see-um options.
How much does a new pool cage screen door cost?
A pool cage or lanai screen door is one of the more affordable fixes we do. A new swinging screen door, hung square with fresh hardware, typically runs in the low hundreds installed, and simple repairs like a new self-closing hinge, closer, or latch cost less. Sliding lanai screen door repairs depend on the rollers and track. We'll give you the exact price before we start, no surprises. See the Sarasota pool cage repair cost guide for other job prices.
Quick to schedule, quick to install
A screen door is one of the faster jobs we do, usually a single visit, and it makes a surprising difference in how tight your whole cage feels. If other panels are sagging or torn too, we also handle full screen enclosure and lanai repair. Free quote up front, and we'll leave the door swinging smooth and latching clean.
Can you fix my door instead of replacing it?
Often yes. If the frame is still square, new hinges, a closer, and fresh screen can bring it back. If it's racked or corroded, a new door is the better value.
My door won't stay closed in the wind, can you fix that?
That's usually a worn or missing self-closing hinge or a misaligned latch. We reset both so the door closes and latches on its own.
Do you do sliding lanai screen doors too?
Yes. We repair and replace sliding screen doors, including rollers and tracks, not just the swinging pool cage doors.
