More on learning to do experience: repairing a kitchen screen door closer

It is about getting better...

Image result for screen door

The household has been bothered by a kitchen screen door whose pneumatic stopper has ceased working because the the screws (2) were ripped off from the anchor of the alum door and the unit.   And the door lay idle for about several days and we could not use the door.   There were talks of buying a new door stopper and calling a repairman.

Today I got the chance to analyze the situation and appreciate the problem.  All I need to do was to get two tapping screws a millimeter or two that are oversized the ones that ripped off.  So I went to the usual hardware which closed early.  Then I happened to see a store that sell all types of nuts and bolts owned by certain Mike Cordero right next to the entrance of the Binangonan cockpit.   I got initially two for P2.00 but did not serve the purpose (too small) and later for P2.50 and that fitted (kabit2) Presto.  Problem solved for only P4.50 and some sweating under the noon sun

But problems can be solved if there is a passion to learn how to do it, and think hard how the problem can be solved.
