New England Screen Door #404

An excellent screen door for my log cabin

Posted by John Hawkins on 23rd Jun 2017

My log cabin does not have standard size doors, so I needed custom sizes. I have dogs and cats, so I needed a door the animals couldn't get through by pushing or tearing the screen, so I choose model 404. Installing the screen after I applied the finish to the door what a little difficult because Home Depot did not have the screen tool for 1/4" screening spline. I had to order one on the web. I felt that the doors were well made and won't sag as time passes (and thus won't need the rods with turnbuckles to hold them square). When staining the doors I did not find any places where there was wood glue on the surface so the wood took the stain very nicely. The wood was clear grained fir and looked really good when done.
