Sagging screen door

[David and Nonie Bramel]

From excessive abuse (kids pulling on it), the screen door hinges are bent. The door sags and is difficult to open and close. Any suggestions for repair? Thank you.

Ours has done the same. I found if you open the door and pull up on the outside edge it help for awhile. We don't have any kids to blame. Just nature of the beast.

If you have the button that turns on the lights when you enter check and lube that button as well as bending the door back. That button can create issues with hinges.

And don't be afraid to give it a real violet tug on the outside edge. It might take two or three really hard tugs to get it realigned.

Those hinges aren't that hard to bend, so I wouldn't do anything really violent or they may break.
