No-Drilling Retractable Screen Door, Folding Sliding Screen Doors with Aluminum Frame for Patio French Front Door Bedroom kitchen, Custom Screen for Single/Double Door, Customize Size, White

My new apartment balcony door was this heavy door without a mesh screen. My cats would ALWAYS run out to the balcony as soon as I opened the door - which is partially my doing as I am training them to be comfortable with the outdoors so that we can start going on harnessed hikes and walks. My kitten had an interest in walking along the railing and I knew there would be a day where he jumps 4 stories down. Living in San Diego, I desperately desired the breezy, movie nights in a Friday but I could never leave the door open without standing at it the whole time to make sure these little nuggets don’t jump. I decided to bite the bullet and ordered the screen door bc it was the ONLY solution that 1) seemed effective and 2) wasn’t hideous. Sure enough, my cat jumped down 4 stories and my other kitten came to warn me. I was so thankful that my screen door would be arriving within a few days. This was pretty much preassembled but the mesh screen strings at the top kept making the door stuck from opening properly. What I did to fix this was take a serious look at how it was designed and what was going wrong. I then detached the pre-assembled SIDE panels, fix the string configuration and reattached them. This did the trick. The tape they provide is EXTREMELY strong but still didn’t damage the door frame. The mistake I made was that I placed more tape along the sides than what was needed and this made inserting the door more annoying than it should have been. Because the tape is so strong, it immediately sticks to the side panels which makes readjusting challenging. So just keep this in mind. Even if your measurements are off by an inch or so, as long as you positions the screen door to site on the bottom comfortably, the most important measurement is your width. This is bc you NEED the screen door to be securely taped to the sides for proper opening and closing. But the height is not nearly as important. It’s more important if you’re worried about aesthetics (so that no spacing shows). Mine ever so slightly off, but once assembled, you can barely tell. My width was spot on and this allowed the panels to to stick strongly so that even with force from sliding the screen open and close constantly, it doesn’t even budge. The mesh is good quality. In fact, my oldest cat (18 years old) didn’t realize there was a screen and accidentally ran into the first time. Although the mesh screen is black, it it quite transparent and that was something I appreciated so much being that it’s right in my living room. Although the mesh is strong, it is not cat proof. My cat has climbed, bit and does everything he could to use it as a toy. There is some training involved with this, so I purchased deterrent spray and am hoping that will work. Even with his climbing though, the screen door has held up. He has made holes into it which I will patch with clear nail polish, and I’m not sure how much climbing it will take, but that is not the responsibility of the door lol. Anyway, I am now enjoying the beautiful breeze during moving nights and I am SO THANKFUL this thing exists!!!! My last apartment didn’t have front door screen and I wish I knew of this at that time. To have this solution is a huge win.

I highly recommend this screen door. I was hesitant at first, because assembling is not my strong suit. But the assembly and installation went smoothly; I did it by myself. The paper instructions come with a QR code for video instructions and that helped me much more than the paper. Just double check your measurements to make sure it fits, which mine did. Perfect for my lakefront home for those summer breezes to come through!

I live in a small studio apartment and it’s positioned in a way where if I had the door opened, a relaxing wind current flows in and through the apartment. I bought this specific screen door over others because of the reviews: There was a review with a really pretty picture of the screen door at a nice looking apartment balcony, and another review saying that customer service was great. Upon checking other similar items, I ended up going with this brand because of the said reviews. I’m glad I did. The product is fantastic. It’s definitely built for rental properties as it doesn’t require any permanent fixings to be able to use this screen door. The screen is really nice. It looks pleasing to the eye even though it’s not made of tough, durable material (it’s a strong mesh material, but not like made of woven metal or anything, which is totally fine for me! Makes the weight of the door light and portable!). But for a rental unit, this is perfect. It definitely has kept flies and other bugs out of our apartment, so I’m thankful for that. I ended up using the black 3M command strips for the adhesive. This is so that I can remove the adhesives if/whenever I move out, without peeling off any paint. The 3M command strips work like a charm and I definitely recommend that addition to your screen door too. Overall, I’m extremely happy with this product. It is an aesthetic and functional screen door that fits with the dimensions of our unit and is suitable for rental properties. Sometimes I stop to look at the screen door because it just looks so chic and pretty and wonderful. It retracts well and definitely adds an elevated element to our old apartment building. I think it will hold up well. I really do think it’s a wonderful, great product. Yay!

The screen is great! The install was easy. We followed the instructions to the T. But the door doesn’t close fully so it’s always lightly open. Enough for the tinny bugs to get in.

... there is no room for mistakes. We have a 70s house, the door top frame is slightly thicker in the center than at the ends. We didn't account for this, so we had to shave the wood off and repaint it to make the screen fit. Also, account for any edges the frame may have. The frame is about 1.5 inches deep, and you need two people to install it correctly. Once installed, it's fabulous and pretty sturdy

Excellent screen door. My wife really loves the ease in which it opens and closes and the fact that when retracted it leaves both panels of our sliding glass door with a clear view of the mountains. Because the door was replacing a worn out sliding screen door it required adding some spacers and alternative fastening methods, but in the end it works beautifully and we are very happy so far. Only time will tell if it holds up well in the scorching Arizona desert heat but having the option to fully retract the screen fully into its pocket will keep exposure to a minimum. The door arrived intact and measurements were exactly as I’d planned.

POS holding on to prayers. What a waste of money and bad quality.
