Very thorough! Great job speaking about your dog & pointing out the reason for the tear. Most people would feel it is poorly designed & write it off as a waste of money w/out considering the product is designed to keep flys 🪰 from invading in your home 🤭 Thank you, very helpful!

Thank you Chris for taking your obviously busy time with the new family size! I saw this on Amazon and decided to see if I could gather any more info on RU-vid and there you were showing how to install it! But what's more, was your follow-up! It wasn't until the very end when you showed the bottom gap that may have made it a deal-breaker. I know there's a mouse out back the cats are doing their best to get rid of. I would hate for that little bugger to get in! But thanks to you I can make a thorough decision on whether to buy or not!

Excellent presentation, thank you. I stayed at a friend's house in Florida and they use these screen doors on their screened lanai. Their small dog tore a hole in the panel and my larger dog finished it off. It's fun to see that you had a similar reason for the tear in your screen. I bought two of these so that I'll have one as a back up. At the price of these screens, it's much more economical than installing a screen door and I appreciated your directions on installing the screens.

Great no nonsense review, thanks for that. I bought one of these in summer of 2020 and have used it ever since. My dog loves being in his garden but likes to periodically pop his head in to check where i am bless his little heart. Because of that, I keep the garden door open which also means open invitation to just about every insect you can find here in Scotland. Mine has held up really well, no tears, no fraying and most important of all, no insects at all. I really love this product. I nearly didn't buy it in part due to how cheap it was and also the negative reviews left on various sites. I'm glad i did because flies are gross, I'm free of mosquitos and best of all, moths can't get in. I'm petrified of those things, they give me the heebie jeebies.

Have an entry door that opens in and a security screen door that opens out. Installation is tricky but doable. Had to install the mag screen to the frame BETWEEN the doors. The hard part was finding just the right spot so both doors all the way AND the knobs don't tear the screen. FUN STUFF!!!

It does work and it lasts for people without dogs who have terror issues and young children that join in dog damage. SO IT WORKS AND LASTS. My door is under a deck (little to no sun), my dog doesn't have issues that cause her to tear up anything but a paw stuck occasionally in my hair when she wakes me up with a smack lol, and I do not have young children nor visitors with toddlers that can be out of view (one large room without obstructions).

I have one of these. It's pretty good but it doesn't hold up well in hot direct sun light. The screen starts peeling off its adhesive strips. In the spring, fall, and winter it probably adheres pretty well, but in the heat of summer - not so much.

I did not want ANY bottom gap, so I ordered the next size up. This is my 2nd screen and found it easier to shorten from the bottom. I think the added weight at the bottom improved the performance. This time I bought Sentry brand. It has installation videos and offers an upgrade for a Lifetime Warranty.

When installing the Velcro (hook and loop tape) is it better to put the loop (fuzzy) or hook (sharp) against the screen. So if I take the screen down during the winter one side of the Velcro will stay on the door frame battling the winter elements.

Your installation video confused me. The video on the site shows the velcro part on the outside, and the tape on the smooth side, but yours says the velcro attaches to the velcro on the screen trim. I don't want to peel the tape cover off to figure this out. I wish someone would make a video that shows which side gets the tape and with side is outside the house, with a closeup of the screen laying on the floor and a verbal explanation of what would be seen. If you can help me with this it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Chris.
@ChrisMcDowellDIY
@ChrisMcDowellDIY 3 года назад
I grilled a few times while I had the magnetic screen door up. I would just leave the back door open so that all I had to do was walk through the screen without having to worry about trying to turn the knob on the door while holding the food. Only issue I had was that there is not a whole lot of clearance the closer you get towards the top of the magnetic screen door since the flaps come together at the top. So it became an issue trying to keep the screen from touching the food or knocking off a spatula or tongs sticking off the side of a plate or pan as I was going through. Guess you could go through backwards or sideways, using your elbow to get the screen parted. Thanks for watching Denis!

Just installed my 2nd one as well. First one lasted about a year. Got a small hole from the dog and it just kept getting bigger. First one I installed with nail tacks and it held up fine. The 2nd one I’m trying to go with Velcro only. Will be easier to replace next year. Problem I’m having is hemming the sides with Velcro only. I’ve got 4 binder clips on one side but may need a few more. It’s also off centered so I don’t have to hem both sides.
