Retractable Screen Doors - Roll Them Up When You Don't Need Them

Old fashioned screen doors are handy when it gets too warm but you'd rather not turn on the air conditioning. They let fresh air in and keep bugs and wildlife out. However they're also in the way when coming and going especially if they're not currently in use. They can bang loudly if you don't close them carefully and mechanisms can stick. Ever tried to move a big piece of furniture in through a propped open screen door? It's a pain, especially when the door won't open all the way.

A retractable screen door is the answer to all your screen door problems. They operate using the same kind of technology that roll up window blinds function on. When you're not using them, they roll neatly away until you need them. This takes up less space than a regular screen door and keeps them out of the way. Oddly enough, although these doors have been around for decades, most people still haven't heard of them. There are four major manufacturers of these doors, and lots of different brands. In general, however, they're easy to install and take only a few tools. You can put them in yourself, or have them installed by the dealer for a small price.

One place that retractable screen doors are really useful is in areas where you wouldn't be able to install a screen door normally. For instance, doors that open both inward and outward can't use a conventional screen door. You also can't install a regular screen on sliding glass patio doors (unless it's a specialty patio screen), double French doors, or doors where there's not enough clearance. A retractable screen can offer you the ability to screen all these types of door, making it a lot easier to let fresh air in without inviting the whole world.

Retractable screen doors aren't just for the outside of the house, though. They can also be used on interior doors when you'd like to make a light barrier without closing off a space. Use them between the garage and the main part of the house, to block off a screen porch, or to keep kids and pets in a room while you keep an eye on them. They have plenty of uses, and can be installed in spaces where you could fit an ordinary screen.

How To Install A Bi-Fold Door

Now, we will work with the idea that you have your doors and have measured the opening of the area your house wish to place the doors in. Most doors come in standard sizes, 24″,32″,36″ and so forth. If you have a odd sized opening make sure you buy a door that states it can be changed to fit, other wise you will be making lots of trips back and forth. The old saying measure twice and cut once, stands true in all areas of home improvements and building.

Normally your will need the following tools:

-Cordless drill or corded

-Hack Saw (Most of the time the track these doors are supported by and move on are metal)

-drill bit(can be optional)

-Standard screw driver

-Phillips screw driver

-Tape Measure

-Pencil

Now, make sure the opening you want to put this door in your house is free from clutter and regular obstructions as these doors pull out towards and over to the side. If you already have not done so, remove the old door and all of its hardware. Now, if you are replacing a damaged Bi-folding door to begin with, here is your chance to save time. If you can find the same door the track will probably be the same, so then all you would have to do is apply the roller hardware to the top of the new doors and insert them. That would be it and your done.

For those who are not as fortunate take out your tape and measure the top of the opening. Remember measure twice and cut once. The track needs to fit the opening from side to side. You can be alittle short or have a small gap in each side as this will not hurt anything. Now, a small gap is about the thickness of a quarter or coin. Now, before you cut your track look at the mounting holes on the track. Try to make sure you have holes close to each end of the track, some times this will require a small cut made on each end to get your holes and length right. The door can sag if the track is not supported close enough to the edges.

Take the track and hold it in the opening to make sure it fits. Mark the holes in the top support of the opening. You can now take and pre-drill the holes for the mounting screws. Make sure the drill bit is smaller then the mounting screws. If you don't have a drill bit just take your time and have someone hold the track up and put the screws in with the cordless drill or hand held screw driver. The track should be centered from front to back in the opening. Be careful as to not have the drill set to high and spin out your screws or break them. Also, make sure according to the door company or hardware as you look at and see if it has to be in the track before you screw it in.

Depending on when you have to hang the doors, place the hardware on the top of the doors at the edges or sides of each door. Once these are installed, mount the pull handle in the center of either the left or right door on the inner edge where the two doors meet. Remember, these doors pull out towards you and slide to the side on the track. Also the above is when the the two doors that make a bi-folding door are attached to each other by hinges. If not install hinges now. Most will have one hinge mounted in the center of each door on the inside. Now, if the doors need to be placed in the track at this point, get the help of another if you can and angle the door out towards you and slip the top hardware into the track.

There, you now have installed a bi-folding door in your house.

How do you fix interior sliding wood doors?

I just brought a sliding wood doors in my house(connects room to room)that has gotten tight and sticky,due to natural shifts in the house.

Is there any way and any one can help me fixing it?

Answer:

it could be the door,you may need to sand it down some or plane it,or the door guide might need lubricating,or you might have to adjust door guide.

thanks! i’m hoping all it needs is some lubrication. if not i might just need to plane or sand it down. i’ll check the door guide too as you suggested.

I have replaced the threshold on my front door, but not there is about 1" space between the bottom of the door and the top of the threshold. I have a door sweep (one that attached to the front and the back of the door) but it still doesn't make the door airtight...it's probably 1/4-1/2" too short. Does anyone have any suggestions for this? Does anyone know if someone manufactures metal door thresholds that are greater than 1". If I could find a 1.5" threshold, I think my problem would be solved. Any suggestions???? Please help, the rains are a-comin'!!!

the door may have had the bottom cut short at some time in the past maybe to accomodate a deep pile rug from dragging along it.
If you build up the threshhold too high you have a safety problem of someone tripping ,falling and breaking something on thier body so that is definitely not a good solution.
You can add a piece of wood stripping to the bottom of the door and paint over it.

Now that your DIY efforts have created this gap you have a few remedies that require your "skills" still further.

I am presuming that both the door and frame are timber.

I am presuming that you require your threshold to be level with the internal floor finish.

This must now be compromised as the original threshold hieght has been lowered by 1.5" by your own account.
The most easy way to buy wood door and steel door direct from China factory, and even the parking lock and china pvc doors.

If I'm picturing this right in my head, then all it requires is an additional packer timber "planted" on top of the threshold with sufficient clearance to allow the door bottom not to bind.

This would also reinstate the original Threshold/floor detail behind.
inflatable is an object that can be inflated, usually with air, but hydrogen, helium and nitrogen are also used. The advantage of an inflatable is that it can be stored in a small space when not inflated, since inflatables depend on the presence of a gas to maintain their size and shape. Inflatable is so amazing! How about to get inflatable bouncers to play on? How about enjoy jumping castles?

Or, and if for whatever reason, the threshold cannot be remedied, then take the door off and plant a timber on to the bottom and refit ensuring adequate clearances for trouble free operation.

Do you know any good heavy paint removal for wood doors?

Yeah I want to know some good stripping product for wood doors.

I have a wood door and try to refinish it (one side only) but cannot find a stripping or paint removal product that is working. The paint or stain that is on there now is very heavy and have tried sanding but it is starting to flatten door is some areas and the stain or paint that is currently on there is not coming off or lightening up any. Please help! - Trying to do this on own and it is starting to become costly. Would appreciate any advice on products that would help me.

Answer:

“ZIP STRIP”, you can’t do it in one shot, it takes several applications of the product, put it on quickly with an old brush, and in a few seconds you will see everything start to bubble off, put newspaper on the floor, or better yet, use it outside, as fumes may be strong, and it will be very messy with gobs of paint and stripper coming off, a cardboard box works well as a recepticle to throw away the melting paint/varnish, you will need gloves too as it may be irratating if it comes in contact with the skin.. Use a 2″ scraper to peel off the bubbled up varnish/paint when it starts to bubble up after application. After 2 or three times you’ll be down to the bare wood, then you can start sanding. It works pretty quickly, have lots of rags handy. then stain the wood, and apply polyurathane “Exterior type”, use a good stain and poly such as “ZAR”, a bit pricey but, it won’t skid, it makes a great finish, and saves work,it is “MARINE” GRADE rated. Be careful, wood finishing can become relaxing and addicting. If you choose the mechanical method of stripping the wood (SAND PAPER, scraping, etc.) you’ll be there for weeks.
