So this is my screen door project. I found the original screen door from 1926 in our basement. I stripped 3 layers of paint (about 4 hours of work). I then sanded off all remaining paint (about 3 hours of work). Then stained it to match our front door. Then 3 coats of poly-urethaine.
I even managed to find the original hardware in a box (there is lots of random stuff in the basement). Everything looked great but the lock/latch was broken. So I tried to chemical weld it together but it kept breaking.
I finally decided to do what I do best. I drilled on it. I cut slots and cold welded a screw into place. I know you are are impressed with how low budget it looks. Also fixed up the little rotater dealer bobber.
Finally putting it up. Totally matched and looks great.
