Modern Screen Door

I just finished up and installed this screen door today, not a moment too soon as the heat has hit Portland early (100 degrees and it's only June). Nancy Hamilton, a coworker from way back, has a beautiful little North Portland place with a mid century feel. She wanted fresh air, dog containment and a design that would match the style of her front door. The screen door is built with clear vertical grain fir finished with marine spar urethane and satin nickel hardware.

Though it looks like I might be beating my head against the door the installation actually went smoothly.

Nancy's home has unique juniper siding used selectively as an accent, shown here around the front door.

Spring loaded satin nickel hinges. Available at W.C. Wink's in Portland, the best hardware store in the world.

Mortise and tenon joinery.

Dog-approved.
