During one of the many super-windy days, our back screen door “broke”. Specifically, the screws pulled out of the door frame, somewhat splintering the area. The door still opens and closes but the metal part that connects the door to the frame (and prevents the door from swinging open 180 degrees — not sure what you call it) is not connected to the frame any more. Any thoughts on the best way to fix this? Would some sort of wood filler work and then screwinng the screws into that? Any thoughts?
