Choosing Efficiency First

Pets and screen doors don't mix, and pets can easily destroy a screen in just a short time. However, after having screen door repair done on your screen door, you can protect it against your pets. Here's how.

Reinforce the frame

A classic screen can be easy to pull out for any pet who is determined enough, which means both cats and dogs can tear through the screen. However, it's not just the screen that is getting damaged and needing professional screen door repair — it's the actual frame and lining in the door itself that needs attention. Your professional screen door repair specialist will inspect the screen to ensure that it's properly set up and secured enough to put in a new screen.

Use the right screen

Did you know that there are several types and styles of screens for screen doors? If you are consistently using the same screen and your pets are just busting through it or tearing it up within days of installing it, you need a stronger screen. A pet-resistant screen is more durable and stronger than a traditional screen and is less likely to tear. It may be slightly darker in color and design, but overall identical in appearance to a traditional screen.

Have your screen door repair specialist install the right screen for your home based on the type of pets you have and how often you have professional screen door repair done. Your specialist will be able to install the new screen in a way that it's tight but has slight give so it's durable yet steady enough to manage any pet interference. You'll pay more for the stronger screen, but it's cheaper to do that one-time install than it is to have more frequent screen door repairs done on a weaker screen.

Deter your pets

The only way to keep your pets away from your screen door is to somehow deter them. This can be done in a variety of ways including deterring their behavior and using disciplinary action when they try to claw through the screen. You may even be able to have a pet door put in place in a screen door.

When you have pets and screen doors, take care of them properly. Your screen door repair specialist will help make your screen door more efficient and give you peace of mind that your screen is going to be safer against your pets.
