Lanai Screen Door Scrapes The Cement.

The bottom of our screen door is now scraping the cement walk. Is there a simple fix by adjusting the hinges? Which hinge? Thanks!

The bottom of our screen door is now scraping the cement walk. Is there a simple fix by adjusting the hinges? Which hinge? Thanks!

Our screen doors have a continuous hinge the full length of the door so it will be very difficult to adjust the hinge. You might be able to install a diagonal cable (or similar) to raise the corner that is scraping but this may allow small creatures to get into the lanai. Also, your screen door may have an adjustable sweep at the bottom of the door with 2 to 4 screws holding it place, you may be able to adjust this to avoid scraping.
I would also investigate why it is now scraping, if you have a tree root in the area, this problem will probably get worse.
Hope this helps.
