How do you install a screen door insert?

• <div><p>If your door has interchangeable inserts, you’ll likely want to swap the glass out for a screen during the summer months. The process to do so will vary by door, but you’ll follow these general steps: First, use a flathead screwdriver to pop out the retainer strips—the plastic strips running down both long (and sometimes all four) sides of the door. Then gently pull them out by hand. Carefully remove the glass insert from the door and replace it with the screen. Finally, push the plastic retainer strips back into place, working from top to bottom. </p></div>

Q: How often should house windows be repaired?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-windows-last.htm">Most windows last</a> for <b>15 to 30 years</b>, depending on the frame material and the glass quality, but most will require repairs during that time. Windows gradually lose efficiency, so it&rsquo;s usually best to have a window repair technician inspect and service your windows every five to 10 years. You should also repair your windows if you experience the following:</p><ul><li><p>Leaks</p></li><li><p>Drafts</p></li><li><p>Difficulty opening or closing</p></li><li><p>Sudden increases in heating and cooling bills</p></li><li><p>Outdoor noise becomes more audible</p></li><li><p>Signs of physical damage</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Is it safe to leave a doggy door open?

• <div><p>No, it&rsquo;s not safe to leave a doggy door open. It might be more convenient, especially at night when you just want to lay in bed. However, when you leave it open, it increases the chance of other critters getting in without your knowledge. Also, it leaves your pup unsupervised for hours at a time. </p></div>

Q: What is the strongest material for window screens?

• <div><p>Pet-resistant, vinyl-coated polyester is one of the strongest window screen materials available, with some manufacturers touting a 7x increase in strength compared to standard fiberglass screens. Stainless steel security screens are also extremely strong, but they&rsquo;re not suitable for coastal areas due to the risk of corrosion from salty sea air. If sea air isn&rsquo;t a concern, stainless steel is extremely tough.</p></div>
