We noticed that one of the horizontal support strings in the screen door has pulled out from the screen door frame. How do we reattach it? Probably happened when the wind slammed our door shut with the screen door in place. Probable have to take apart the screen door frame, but we don’t know how.

    Judging by the visibly frayed end, it looks like your string has broken. Unfortunately, the only fix is to dismantle and completely restring the door. It's a daunting task, but doable with patience and attention to detail. This discussion details the experiences of those of us who have successfully tackled the job.
    I'll emphasize that the second time I restrung my door I used the 60lb fishing line recommended by @vhollow, and I took special pains to minimize chafing of the strings inside the door. So far so good.
