Hawaii’s rainy season is on its way. Is your house prepared for the wind and weather? Hurricanes can wreck havoc on your screen doors, making your home vulnerable to water damage. Known throughout Maui as the Screen Doctors, the experts at Valley Isle Screen have just the prescription for keeping your door and window screens in good condition this hurricane season.

For visibility and fresh air without worry, select a screen door built to withstand a storm. Made of strong aluminum or steel, hurricane and security screen doors are specially-built to handle the forces of both man and nature. Eye-pleasing as well as functional, these sturdy screen doors will add to both the toughness and curb appeal of your home. With a wide-variety of security screen doors in stock, Valley Isle Screen’s Kahului showroom has a durable, attractive option to complement your property.

Even the toughest security screen doors can use a hand against hurricanes, however. Once your patio door is installed, be sure to check up on the hardware before each hurricane season. Pay particular attention to hinges. Weak or missing hinges can be your screen door’s Achilles’ heel. Make sure no screws are missing, and replace short screws with longer ones to better anchor the door. Adding a third hinge can also add substantial strength. For the sturdiest screens, screw your screen door to the house, not just the doorframe. Deadbolts can also support wind-resistance. Add a one-inch deadbolt to single doors or a floor-penetrating barrel bolt for double doors. For help making your door installation as strong as it can be, consult with the professionals at Valley Isle Screen!
