I can't believe it.
We have a 3 pane sliding glass door from our bedroom to our pool enclosure. There is a sliding screen door on the outside of one pane so that we can leave the door open at night and have the screen protect us from bugs and snakes. Have had 4 snakes somehow get into our pool enclosure over the years. The screen sliding door has rust all around the metal frame and we want to replace it.
Here is the real problem. NO one, and I mean NO one, sells, or constructs these doors. The door is 48" X 95 inches. I have called dozens of screen installers, window installers, etc but none sell or make what I need. It's only a 4 piece frame with screen inside , and rollers on the door. Can't get anyone. Any suggestions? |

Metal fabricator to modify an off the shelf unit? I'd go aluminum if possible.

The guys who doo pool enclosures and screened rooms should be able to help you.

Have you considered calling those Rapid Response type contractors. The ones that advertise they will come right to your house/business and secure it after a catastrophe.(flood/fire/ violent wind) They just might have a guy or know of one.

You can give these guys a call: https://www.metroscreenworks.com
(800) 413-2579 No idea if they're going to be any cheaper than the $700 quote you already got, especially if it has to be shipped. I don't think your quote is unreasonable, all things considering. You could try building one yourself if you're really wanting to try to keep it under $400. I don't think you're going to find someone to make one for that price. |

Sometimes a local hardware store does screen repair and they have the extruded aluminum parts to make frame.

We had two 96" storm doors custom made for the front entries.
$Jeebus$ Pretty much any custom size is a factory build off the internet these days. It's either a company that will install it that will get it built, or you can try the internet. The several companies that had great products would not deal with me 1 on 1 at all. I'm surprised that you have no installer that can figure this out. |

Thanks for all your help. Finally found a company that will build it. That took 6 months to do so. Now 2-3 week wait. Only cost $700.

Posting a pic would be helpful to maybe find a temporary solution as I was struggling to picture what the issue actually is. But hey, if you got it sorted...dead thread now.

A window/ door manufacturer will make any size that you want, down to the 1/8" , or even less. But it will cost you. For my addition, we ordered an exterior door from their catalog, hurricane rated, two leaves, 7'-4" high, curved top. I was quoted $9000. |
