Fly screens and security doors
Torn fly screens let insects in through summer, and a security door that won't latch or lock properly isn't doing its job. In older villas these often go together with sticking front or back doors, since frames shift the same way over the seasons.
What the job involves
Screens re-meshed or replaced, security doors adjusted to close and lock.
What's included
- Re-meshing torn or damaged fly screens
- Replacing screens where re-meshing isn't enough
- Adjusting security door hinges and frames
- Fixing locks and latches on security doors so they engage properly
- Checking screens and doors close flush with no gaps
