FAQs

What is a retractable screen door?

Retractable screen doors are insect screens that roll into compact housing. They are designed to not interfere with your regular door’s functionality, and you only see the retractable screen door when it is in use. The retractable screen extends from the housing and is held in place by a magnetic latch. The screen retracts with the help of a spring-loaded roller tube that is built into the units housing. The majority of homeowners prefer a retractable screen door over more traditional swinging screen doors as they do not obstruct the view.
