we have beautiful steel french doors that look out from our kitchen to the garden (on the garden level). but if we leave the doors open while we’re in the kitchen, we are swamped with mosquitos. anyone know of someone who could build us a set of screen doors? it’s somewhat complicated, because there are no door hinges there now. thank you!

  1. Hey,

    I just finished building a screen door for a restaurant bar called LOX on Fulton and Putnam
    Please feel free to give me a call if you would like one made.

    cheers Pete

  3. Likes2Lurk: Ohhhh, it was on the INTERNET. Nevermind. Must be true then.

    I’ve tried two different types of retractable screens, and both lasted for just a couple of months before the heavy use by both pets and humans broke them.

    I too would be interested in someone who could build customer screen doors (with frames) for my apartment, which was the original question. Anyone have any recommendations for that?

  4. If you Google for hanging screens there are a lot of them at different prices that attach with adhesive strips or hanging hardware (Solutions.com has some.) As to koi ponds, fish eat mosquito larvae: the big problem is standing water in flower pot bottoms, tires, & other small puddles. Lowe’s & Home Depot sell tablets & powders that you can leave in likely catch places or birdbaths to kill larvae before they mature – they’re safe around children & pets.

  5. I believe Pella makes screens that mount on the side of the door frame and roll across the doorway, hooking on the other side. I don’t know if they’re only designed to work with Pella doors or not.
