Last year I built all new screen doors for a condo project, 32 in all, and out of the 32 I had to make 3 new because of warpage. So I got a call from the developer to do the next phase. These are inswing screen doors, made out of poplar.
My idea is that on the latch style inlaying a 3/4" piece of aluminum in a laminated style. If the style warps, all I will have to do is lay it down and step on the middle of the curve. I did a test piece with a couple of pieces of wood that I knew would warp and stepping on it straightened it out and it stayed there. I figured out the cost, cheaper than making new doors if I get the same rate of failure.
Just wondering if you can think of any reason not to do it that I am not thinking of?
Thanks, Larry
