Our Security Door Screen Services

New Security Screen Door Installation

We install brand-new security screen doors on front entries, back doors, side doors, and utility entries. First, we measure your doorway. Next, we match the right door style and mesh to your needs. Then we set it in the frame and make sure it fits tight and locks smoothly.

Security Screen Door Replacement

Old security doors bend, rust, and wear out. A damaged door does not protect your home the way it should. We remove your old door and put in a fresh one. You get a clean fit, a strong frame, and a lock that works the way it should. Replacement is usually done in a single visit.

Sliding Security Screen Door Installation

A sliding security screen door is built differently. It uses a reinforced frame and a stronger mesh. It also has a better locking system. This means you can slide it open for air and lock it with confidence. We install sliding security screen doors on patio entries, back doors, and wide openings.

Custom Security Screen Door Fabrication

Not every doorway is a standard size. Older homes, arched entries, and wide farmhouse doorways all need doors built to fit. We measure your opening exactly. Then we build a custom security door frame to match. This means no gaps at the edges and no forced fit. Every custom door we build is cut and assembled specifically for your home.

Security Screen Door Frame Repair and Reinforcement

A weak frame makes the whole door less effective. We straighten bent frames, reinforce door-to-jamb anchors, and replace damaged corner sections. We also install tamper-proof hinges and anti-pry reinforcement on doors that need it. Also, if your frame is beyond repair, we replace it entirely with a stronger one.

Security Screen Door Lock and Hardware Upgrade

A door is only as secure as its lock. Many older security doors have a single lock that can be defeated with one strong push. A multi-point locking system holds the door at the top, middle, and bottom making it much harder to force open. We upgrade locks, strike plates, handles, and hinges. We also install emergency quick-release handles on the inside.

Why Placerville Homeowners Trust Eldorado Screens

We Measure Before We Build

Every door we install is sized to your exact opening. We do not use close-enough measurements or force a standard size into a frame it does not fit.

We Know El Dorado County

We understand the fire risk, the climate, and the types of homes in this area. We recommend the right door for your situation, not just the easiest one to install.

We Work Fast

Most security door installations are done in a single visit. We come prepared so there are no extra trips and no long waits.

We Stand Behind Our Work

If a door does not fit right or a lock does not work the way it should, we come back and fix it. That is how we have earned the trust of homeowners across the foothills.

How Our Security Door Screen Installation process

Getting a security screen door installed is easier than most people think. Here is exactly what happens when you call Eldorado Screens.

01

Call or Request a Quote

Start by giving us a call or filling out our quote form online. Tell us what kind of entry you have and what you are looking for. We will ask a few quick questions to understand your setup. Next, we schedule a time to come out. We work around your schedule.

02

Measure Door

We come to your home and measure your door opening by hand. We do not guess sizes or assume a standard frame will fit. Every measurement is taken on-site. Also, we check the condition of your existing door frame and jamb. If anything needs reinforcement before the door goes in, we let you know before work begins.

03

Install Security Screen Door

Once we have the right door sized and ready, we install it in your opening. We set the frame, attach the hinges, align the door, and test the lock. We walk you through the door type and features as we work. A properly installed security screen door closes flush, latches firmly, and opens smoothly.

04

Finish & Final Check

When the job is finished, we remove all materials and leave your entry clean. We do a final walkthrough with you so you can test the door yourself before we go. If anything is not right, we fix it on the spot.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a security screen door and a regular screen door?
A regular screen door uses thin aluminum frames and lightweight fiberglass mesh. It is easy to bend or push through. A security screen door uses heavier frames, stronger mesh, and better locking hardware. It is designed to resist forced entry while still letting in air.
A quality security screen door makes forced entry much harder. Stainless steel mesh is difficult to cut. Multi-point locks hold at three points instead of one. Tamper-proof hinges cannot be removed from outside. No door is completely indestructible but a good security screen door adds a real, meaningful barrier that most intruders will not want to deal with.
That depends on your situation. For most homes, a stainless steel mesh door is the top choice. It is strong, looks good, and lets in plenty of air. For homes near fire-prone areas like Pollock Pines or Rescue, an ember-guard door is worth the upgrade. For HOA communities, a laser-cut decorative door may be required to match neighborhood standards.
Yes. We build custom security doors for non-standard openings. That includes oversized entries, arched doorways, older home frames, and wide farmhouse doors. We measure on-site and build the door to fit your exact opening.
Yes. We install sliding security screen doors on patio entries and wide back-door openings. A sliding security screen uses a reinforced frame and stronger mesh than a standard sliding screen. It also has a better locking system designed for sliding track doors.
A retractable security screen door rolls into a slim housing on the side of your door frame when you do not need it. When you want fresh air and security, you pull it across the opening and lock it in place. It is a popular option for front entries where homeowners want a clean look when the door is not in use.
Yes, Especially for homes in Pollock Pines, Rescue, Garden Valley, and Camino. During wildfire season, burning embers can travel a long distance through the air. An ember-guard security door blocks those embers from entering your home through an open entry. This can significantly reduce the risk of fire starting inside.
Yes. We offer lock and hardware upgrades without full door replacement. We install multi-point locking systems, upgrade strike plates, and replace worn handles. We also install quick-release interior handles so you can exit quickly in an emergency.
Most residential security screen door installations do not require a permit. However, if you live in a historic district or a planned community with architectural review requirements, there may be additional steps. We are familiar with local community guidelines and can help you understand what applies to your property.
The cost depends on the door type, size, material, and hardware selected. A standard stainless steel mesh security door is the most affordable option. Custom sizes, specialty mesh types like ember-guard, and multi-point lock upgrades add to the cost. Call us or fill out our quote form and we give you a clear price before any work begins.
