sliding screen door frame is too long
by newhomeowner09
Question:I'm moving into a new house that recently replace with new sliding glass doors. However the accompanying sliding screen doors are too long and don't fit onto the tracks. Can you cut/saw the frame? If so, what is the best way to do so? Any tips/tricks would be very helpful. thanks, Depending on the type of screen door, they can be hard or easy to shorten. Doors that are mitered together are easy. Remove the screen material, dissassemble the frame with a rubber mallet and shorten the vertical rails by the same amount on both sides. You can do the job with a miter box and a hacksaw but the best tool to use is a power miter box with an aluminum cutting blade. Doors that are notched together are more difficult because they were cut in the factory using special punching machinery. Easier in those cases to replace the screen door with a new miter cut one.
