There is nothing wrong with nylon screen. Ask for the heavier
stuff. They call it pet-resistant. It is better suited for you if
you want to DIY. I use that pet resistant screen for replacements and
it is quite durable and stays smooth.

I don't get it. I have no ojbectiion to aluminum or vinycl, but
wouldn't aluminum be MORE pet-resistant?

And yes, the ACE hardware just west of Baltimore does aluminum or any
other kind of screens. Getting the burglar alarm wires put in again
will probably cost what it did the first time, adjsted for inflation.

I don't remember how much that is, but with the old ones as a guide,
and salvaging any special parts from the old ones, one might be able
to do it himself.

Or, I wonder if the same guy might do both the screen and the wires.
That is, check with whomever the burglar alarm companies would send
you to about how much for the whole job.

The pet resistant screen is tougher but especially in screen doors the
spline will pop out before the screen tears.
