Default Home Warranty

I am sure there is another thread regarding this topic...nevertheless, here I go

I called the Home Warranty Department to come check my siding. I live south of 466 in Liberty Park. A four man crew worked 3 hours to fix my siding problems of nails being too far apart and nails only being anchored in half way. They also told me that the exterior electrical receptacles were not always up to code (I have no idea why) but they checked and fixed those also.

In the process, they found that the fixed part of my doorwall leading to my patio had not been anchored into the casing. It was gapping. Another call to Home Warranty fixed that problem....but in their words...only out of the "goodness of their heart." I silently laughed at that comment but said nothing since they were willing to fix it. The building installers had neglected to install brackets to hold the doorwall window in place...arrrgh! However, not having a latch to secure and lock the sliding screen could not be fixed. I was told the latch that attached to the casing was plastic and broke so they decided to eliminate it.

Now, I'm wondering...should I push for a completely new doorwall with all parts working? Does not having a sliding screen latch/lock compromise my security?
