Check for one that says "screen door repair" back in the service
department. One local "wrought iron" outfit does some really nice
work on screen doors, they do the scroll work and then mount some kind
of finely perforated metal sheet behind it, spot welded on. Painted,
it's a lot classier than just an aluminum screen door. It's a lot
more durable on commercial shop doors than an aluminum screen door
would be, too.
