About this product
The one that outlives the summer.
A leather head on a metal handle, for people tired of replacing plastic swatters.
Plastic swatters split at the neck, usually in the second summer. This one has a leather head riveted to a metal handle, so there is nothing to fatigue and crack.
It is heavier in the hand than a plastic one, which is most of why it works.

What do our customers say?
Company-wide reviews published on Trustpilot. Every public rating is included.
Great service and product. This flyscreen is easy to install and works really well keeping Flys out of the house. The cats are still able to get out their cat flap too. Much sturdier fabric then what you can buy at Bunnings or Mitre 10. Highly recommended
Not only is the screen fantastic, I don't think I have ever had better customer service and communications in my long life.
Thank you so Screen Door Company, I'll be a customer my whole life.
Keep up the great work.

The most satisfied i have been with a product in a long time. They delivered above expectations. I was looking for a fly screen and ordered with bespoke measurements to fit my sliding door. Their instructions were very clear and the product fits perfectly. Materials are robust, magnets are strong and it looks very good now that it is installed. So much crap is sold online, this company is a stand out. I am a very satisfied customer ( and now flies free:))
I needed a simple to install, simple to use product, to combat incessant flies coming in through our upstairs balcony in Brisbane. The door being open is essential for the all important breeze, but the flies were unwelcome. Magnetic options were not ideal, and traditional fly screen mesh blocks the breeze. Amazingly, the dangling chains block no breeze, do not block the view much as the loops in the chain are quite open, and not a single fly!!! And I can just unhook it and take it down if I do not want it there all the time. Also amazingly, this product was delivered in just a few days, in the days before Christmas. Tick, tick, tick. Highly recommend the product and company for prompt service.
I have ordered 3 screens from the magnetic door company. They are on the outside of my house and I leave them up all summer. They last about 2 years with the wear and tear but I would recommend them - they keep the mosquitos and flies out and are simple to use and do not detract from my view
Fantastic screen door, perfect for the dog to get in and out. Made to the exact custom measurements I asked for. Great quality material. Very friendly, responsive customer service and communication when ordering
this is the second time I have purchased a custom made fly screen for my bifolding doors in the kitchen. the service was great, the installation process was simple. my first flyscreen lasted several years and hopefully this one will last even longer.
I would definitely recommend the screen door company,we ordered our fly screen with no issues,it was quick and simple to order and arrived a week early,it was easy to put up and we love it

Why leather
A fly swatter fails in one of two places: the head splits, or the neck snaps
where a thin plastic shaft meets a wide head. Both happen because the whole thing
is one moulding of cheap plastic flexing thousands of times.
This is a leather head riveted onto a metal handle. The leather takes the impact
and does not crack, and the metal handle does not flex enough to fatigue. It is
heavier than a plastic swatter, which is the point: the weight does the work, so
you swing it rather than whip it.
Where it lives
It has a hanging hole, and it is worth using. A swatter in a drawer is a swatter
you do not use. Most people keep it on a hook by the back door, which is where
the flies come in.
Nothing to buy again
There is nothing to refill, no batteries and no spray. It pairs naturally with a
door screen: the screen keeps the bulk out, this deals with what follows you in.
