When not in use, these screens are seamlessly retracted into a protective housing that keeps it safe from wet weather and pests. Plus, they have a low-profile housing that blends in with the existing door frame.

Some models have a magnetic closure that allows adults, kids and pets to simply walk through them. The magnets then attach back into place for proper closing.

Durability

The frame of a retractable mesh screen door should blend into your home’s décor, and there are many colors and finishes to choose from. Some screens are designed to reduce heat and UV light, while others provide privacy or keep out insects and debris. There are also screens designed to fit large openings or doors that open from the side, like French doors or sliding patio doors.

Most retractable screen doors are built with a track on the top and bottom that holds the mesh. A pull bar runs along the top of the track and glides to open and close the door. The pull bar can be secured with a magnetic latch or with a handle that pivots.

Some screen manufacturers include a disclaimer stating that their products do not provide security to prevent intruders from entering the home. This is especially important for homes with children or pets. In addition to this, it is important to make sure your retractable screen is anchored to the doorframe and that it is securely closed when not in use.

Easy to Install

With easy installation and operation, you’ll enjoy the ability to let fresh air into your home while keeping out bugs, debris, dust and damaging UV rays. These doors fit most standard and oversized door openings, with a sleek design that complements your home’s style.

Choose between different mesh options to optimize the amount of sun, air and privacy you get. Looser meshes allow more airflow, while tighter screens block out more heat and sunlight.

When not in use, these doors disappear seamlessly into a protective housing, keeping your doorways clean and protected. They can also be easily opened with a pull bar or magnetic screen latch. Sill adapters are available to aesthetically complete your screen installation and help prevent damage to the bottom track. The mesh is also washable with mild detergent and water seasonally to keep it looking its best. A mesh lock is also available to help keep small pets and children from escaping or the screen from blowing out of the track.

Easy to Maintain

With proper care, you can expect your retractable screen door to last a lifetime. Regular cleaning and usage will prevent your mesh door from tearing, bending, fraying, or snagging when rolling back into the housing. Vacuuming both upper and lower tracks with a soft upholstery brush attachment can help remove dirt from your screen door before it has a chance to work its way into various components.

Teflon infused pull bar guides reduce friction between the roller tube and track, increasing longevity. Brass bushing also helps the roller tube spin smoothly while reducing noise and vibration.

Magnets stitched securely into the hem of the magnetic screens close the doors after you and your family and pets pass through them. This hands-free screen door is perfect for homes with small children and pets. It fits any doorframe up to 38 inches wide and 82 inches tall. The magnetic screen doors are less permanent than other varieties, so they can be used during the warm months and stored during the winter.

Easy to Clean

Retractable screen doors allow air to flow through your home while keeping out bugs, dust, pollen, and other debris. However, these screens can become clogged with dirt and other particulates over time. These particles may obscure your view and hamper the door’s functionality. Fortunately, cleaning these screens is easy. You can use canned air or a vacuum with a soft upholstery attachment to remove trapped debris. You can also wipe down the mesh with a damp cloth and let it dry before retracting it into its housing unit.

Keeping track of your retractable screen doors is important to make sure they continue to function well. It’s a good idea to check them regularly and lubricate the tracks once a year. This will keep the screen from slamming and help it to extend and retract smoothly. You can also add a MeshLock option to your retractable screen door, which will prevent it from blowing out in windy conditions or allowing small pets or creepy crawlies to escape.
