Having to fix a screen door knob may seem like a pain, but it’s really a good opportunity for you to upgrade one of the small details of your home. When lots of these “little things” around the house get updated it can really transform your home and allow you to really express your sense of style.
One of the biggest problems you face when upgrading or fixing your screen door hardware is that there are so many different models of screens, and so many different parts out there. The first step is usually to figure out what the manufacturer of the door is, find the company’s website, and work backwards from there. At the very least, you should be able to find the exact replacement part from the manufacturer.
If you’re lucky enough to live somewhere that has a really well stocked Home Depot, you may be able to find the screen door knob that you need there. The trick with this is to bring the old one with you so that you can find an exact match.
Upgrading parts isn’t too difficult either. In most circumstances you can install upgraded screen door knobs into the existing screen frame. This will allow you to improve the appearance, security, or both depending on what you were starting with.
In short, don’t look at replacing screed door knobs as a pain in the ass. Instead look at it like you’re tweaking one of the many little things in your home to give it the exact feel that you want.
