All Mirage retractable screens are custom cut to size depending on the size and configuration of the existing door it is being installed on. When you order a retractable screen through a Mirage dealer, you will select the options that will best work for you and your home.

Pet-Proof Retractable Screen Doors

When ordering a custom retractable screen door, you will have the option to include TuffScreen in your screen instead of the standard mesh. TuffScreen is a polyester-coated mesh that is the best option when you have pets in your home that will scratch the screen!

Retractable Screen Doors for French Doors

You have two options when looking to have a custom retractable screen installed on your French doors. The first is having two 1750 retractable screens installed on either side of your doorway that will meet in the middle and connect with a magnet. One of the retractable screens will have the ability to be pinned closed, and the other will be used to go in and out of the doorway.

The second option is having a 3500 large opening retractable screen door installed on your French doors. This will only be one cassette that can be mounted on either side of your French doors and will also have the mesh retained in the top and bottom track. Keep in mind that the first option will be more affordable than the second option, but we have noticed many customers opting to go with the second option since launching the product.

Retractable Screen Doors for Sliding Doors

A retractable screen door can be installed on your sliding patio doors by having the cassette mounted to the fixed panel of the door. Typically, this is best if the fixed panel is on the exterior of the door, but it is still possible if on the interior. Something to keep in mind when the panel is on the interior is that the cassette will be mounted inside your home rather than on the outside.

How Does a Customization Process For Retractable Screen Doors Work?

Here is a step-by-step process of how the customization process works for retractable screens.

Initial Consultation

Your local Mirage retractable screen dealer will be able to determine what retractable screen option will best fit based on pictures or an in-person visit.

Size Measurements and Requirement Check

The height and width of your door will be measured to ensure a retractable screen will fit. Another factor is the sill at the bottom of the door and the ledge at the top of the door so the tracks can be mounted properly to ensure the screen runs smoothly.

Order Customization

You will have the option of choosing the color, sill adapter (in some applications), and handle of your retractable screen upon purchase. We offer two handle options, one being our standard handle, which separates the magnet from being pulled, and the other being our PivotPro handle, which will cost more but smoothly separates from the magnet with a simple twist.

Final Retractable Screen Installation

Once your local Mirage retractable screen dealer has determined the size, color, appropriate sill adapter, and handle for your retractable screen installation, they will be able to complete the installation in between 1-2 hours for most applications.
