Magnetic Screen Door | Magnet Door Screens | Magnetic Mesh Screen Door

Fifteen of them. Widths go from 60cm to 180cm, each in a 210cm or a 240cm height, so a narrow side entrance and a wide patio slider are both covered. Measure the frame opening, not the door leaf. If your frame falls between two sizes, take the larger one, because the mesh can overlap the edge but it can't stretch.

Measure the width across the door frame and the height from the sill to the top of the frame. The screen fixes around the opening, so the frame measurement is the one that matters.

Yes. The magnets run the full height of the centre seam, so once you're through, the two halves pull back together from top to bottom. No latch to catch and nothing to pull shut behind you.

No. Black, brown and white all cost the same. Pick the one that matches your frame. Black gives the clearest view out, brown suits timber and white suits uPVC.

Yes. Fit it to the frame surround and pick the size that matches your opening. Patio doors are usually the wider end of the range, so look at the 160cm and 180cm widths.

No. A velcro strip stitched to the screen presses onto the door frame, and that is the whole fixing. No tools, which is why it is fine for rented homes, and it comes off cleanly at the end of summer.

Cats and dogs usually learn to push through the magnetic seam within a day, which is what most owners want. If a pet is rough with mesh, look at the heavier pet-grade screens instead.

No. It's fine enough to stop flies and mosquitoes but open enough to let air move through, which is the whole point of fitting one in summer.

Yes, and people miss this. Allow 2 cm at the top and 2 cm on each side for the velcro strip that is stitched to the screen. Every size in the range already accounts for a frame of that opening.

Up to 40, sewn into the fabric down the full height of the centre. Cheap supermarket screens run 26 or fewer, which is why their seams gape in the middle.

Midge mesh at 15 x 17 density. It is a step up from the thin nylon used on budget screens: it holds its shape, resists chemical corrosion and does not crease.

Yes. The mesh is the upgraded midge grade, so it stops midges and the smaller biting insects along with flies, mosquitoes and wasps.

None. The velcro strip is stitched on and presses onto the door frame. No drill, no screws, nothing to hire.

No. Nothing is drilled and nothing is screwed, so the frame is untouched. That is the reason it works in a rental.

Yes. It comes off the frame, folds up small for storage, and goes back on next spring. Plenty of people run them seasonally.

Yes, if the opening matches. Measure the frame across and up, then take the size that your opening comes to. Sliding and patio doors usually land at the wider end, so check the 160cm and 180cm widths.

Yes. It suits single doors, sliding doors, caravans and RVs, as long as you have a flat frame face for the velcro to press onto.

Yes, easily. That is really the point. The seam parts as they walk into it and the magnets pull it shut behind them, so there is no handle to reach and nothing to leave propped open.

Most dogs work it out in a day, and cats usually faster. If a pet is hard on mesh, look at a pet-grade screen instead.

That is what the heavy black magnets are for. The seam pulls together from top to bottom rather than just in the middle, so it closes the same way on the hundredth pass as the first.

Yes. The mesh lets light and air in and you can see the garden through it. From outside, in daylight, it reads as a dark doorway rather than a curtain.

No. Air moves through it freely. Leaving the door open on a warm evening without letting insects in is the whole reason to fit one.

Take it off the frame and wash it in warm soapy water, then hang it to dry before you put it back. It is easy to clean and it does not hold crease marks.

Carefully, and not with scissors or a blade. The mesh is folded inside the bag and a sharp tool can nick it. Open the bag by hand.

Go up, not down. Mesh will happily overlap a frame edge. It will not stretch to cover a gap, and a gap is exactly where insects get in.

Ask before you order. These are made in set sizes and also made to order, so an unusual opening is a quote rather than a dead end.

In a strong gust it will move, the same as any curtain screen. The magnets bring it back together as soon as the gust passes.

No. Black, brown and white are the same screen and the same price. Black gives the clearest view out because dark mesh is easier for your eye to see past.

Minutes. Line the screen up on the frame, press the velcro strip down from the top, and check the two halves meet cleanly down the middle.

It is built for a long service life: a sturdier mesh than the cheap nylon versions, corrosion resistant, with the magnets sewn into the fabric rather than glued on.
