I bought a Birch screen door a few months ago and attempting to install it I discovered my entrance door had a serious problem with where the bottom hinge attached. It was bad enough that I had to reinforce the door with a piece of 1/8 inch steel. Well now I finally got to the point of installing the Birch screen door and discovered that the steel has made me grind down the bolt heads on the bottom hinge to get the door to close without binding. This has made it impossible to install the birch screen door. The door has new screen materiel that I installed. So sadly I am going to sell the Birch Screen door for what I paid for it plus shipping cost. If you pick it up it would save the boxing and shipping cost which I am sure will not be cheap since this door is one piece. Also included is a set of longer hinge pins you will need with bushings and the trim molding I got from Applied. $620 + shipping unless you pick it up. PM me if you are interested. I am in zip 32033 near St Augustine, FL.

Does the Birch screen door installation require removing the original grab handle on the inside door plus the bumper stop at the door striker? I am hesitant to ask for a shipping quote to zip code 93420.

No you have to shorten the handle by 3/8 inch and you have to cut part of the bump guard for the striker. Install instructions are at bdub.net
The shipping to you would be in the ballpark of $400. Not much weight but a big box

Yeah, it’s going coast to coast so that’s no surprise on shipping cost. Not only is it large but it’s also curved. Well, I am sure someone on your side of the coast will buy it.
