Torn screens, bent frames, and sticky sliding screens repaired or replaced.
In summer, a screen door keeps insects out while letting air in, and even a small tear can let mosquitoes and flies through. In winter, a storm door adds a layer of protection in front of the main entry door, provided it closes and seals properly. A storm door that won’t close completely, has a failed closer or rattles in its frame isn’t doing its job. At Fix My Door Now Ottawa, we repair both.
A torn, sagging, or punctured screen panel is the most common screen door repair we carry out across Ottawa. Screen material degrades over time — UV exposure from Ottawa's summer sun hardens and brittles the mesh, and physical contact from people, pets, and the occasional blown debris tears or deforms it. We re-screen door panels using fibreglass mesh for standard applications — fibreglass doesn't crease or dent the way aluminum mesh does and holds its flat position better over time — and heavy-duty pet-resistant screen for households where the screen door gets contact from dogs and cats on a daily basis. We also repair or replace the spline that holds the screen in the frame channel, because a failed spline is often what causes a screen to sag and pull free at the edges without being torn itself.
The pneumatic or spring closer that controls how a screen door swings shut is one of the parts that fails most often. A closer that has lost pressure lets the door slam, which can damage the door and frame. A closer that has seized doesn't let the door close at all, or fights you when you try to open it. Pneumatic closers are also affected by temperature, so a closer that’s badly adjusted may slam in summer and struggle to close in cold weather. We service and adjust closers where adjustment is the right answer, and replace units that have failed beyond adjustment. We set the closing speed and latch speed correctly for the door's weight and the household's use pattern, so the door closes reliably rather than slamming through summer and failing to close in winter.

Storm doors — the full-height glazed or screened outer doors that sit in front of the main entry door on Ottawa homes — have their own set of failure modes distinct from screen doors. The glazed panels in combination storm doors can crack or fail their seal. The frame can rack or twist if the door's mounting fasteners have worked loose in the door frame or the brick mould. The latch hardware on a storm door takes heavy daily use and wears out — storm doors get operated every single time the main door does, plus additional times, and the latch mechanisms aren't always built to that cycle count. We repair storm door frames, replace damaged glass panels, service and replace latch and handle hardware, and re-mount doors that have come loose from their installation frame. Where the glass itself has shattered, our broken glass repair service handles the replacement.
A screen or storm door that drags, binds, or requires force to close has an alignment problem. Screen and storm door frames are lighter than main door frames and more sensitive to movement in the surrounding door frame — even a small amount of settling or seasonal movement in the primary door frame can throw a screen or storm door significantly out of alignment. We assess the mounting frame, adjust or replace the mounting hardware, and in some cases shim the installation to correct the alignment. A door that swings freely, closes completely, and latches without effort on every cycle is the result we're after.
Aluminum screen and storm door frames dent easily — a door swung into a bicycle, a delivered package thrown against it, a snow shovel carelessly propped against the frame. Minor dents can sometimes be dressed back to a functional profile. Significant frame deformation, particularly at the corners where the frame sections join, usually means the frame needs to be replaced. We assess whether repair or replacement is the right answer for damaged frames and carry out either service. When replacing a frame, we take the opportunity to select a unit appropriate for the Ottawa climate — with proper thermal performance if it's a storm door, and with robust corner construction that resists the racking that Ottawa's temperature swings can produce.
A properly fitted storm door traps a layer of air between itself and the main door, which helps reduce heat loss at the entry and shields the main door’s weatherstripping from direct wind and cold. A storm door that doesn’t close, rattles or has a failed glass panel provides little of that benefit. Getting the storm door working properly pairs well with new weatherstripping on the main door behind it.
Screen and storm door work often overlaps with the seal, hardware, and entry door behind it. These pages cover the adjacent issues:
Screen and sliding doors share the same rollers, tracks, and frames. These guides explain the common faults:
