Leave the door open. Keep the flies out.

A magnetic mesh screen that closes itself behind you, fitted in ten minutes without tools.

A door screen only works if it closes every single time, including the time your hands are full and you shoulder your way through. That is what the magnets are for. You walk at it, it opens, and it pulls itself shut behind you.

It fits to the door frame rather than the wall, so there is nothing to swing and nothing to slide, and it comes down again at the end of summer.

Buying Guide

Why the magnets matter

Any screen keeps insects out while it is shut. The difference between screens is what happens in the two seconds after somebody walks through one.

A curtain of strips falls roughly back into place and leaves gaps. A hinged screen door needs a hand, or a spring, and space to swing. This one has a line of magnets down the centre seam, so the two panels pull themselves together from the middle outwards. It closes the same way whether you walked through carefully or backed through it holding a tray.

That is the whole design, and it is why this suits a back door or a patio door that stands open all evening rather than a doorway you pass through twice a day.

Choosing your size

Measure the door frame, not the door, and take the widest and tallest points of the opening.

If your measurement falls between two of our sizes, order the larger one. A screen slightly wider than the frame still fits and hangs correctly, whereas one slightly narrow leaves a gap down one side, and the gap is the entire problem you are trying to solve. Height works the same way.

If your doorway is outside 60 to 180 cm wide, ask us for a quote rather than forcing a stock size to fit.

Fitting it

It takes about ten minutes and needs no tools and no tradesman.

The screen fixes to the frame across the top and down both sides. Get the top edge level before you fix anything else, because a screen hung out of true will not close cleanly down the middle however strong the magnets are. Work across the top first, then down each side, keeping the mesh under light tension so it hangs flat rather than bagging.

Because nothing is screwed or drilled into the frame, it comes off again without leaving marks, which is why it works in rented homes and why people take it down over winter.

What we do not claim

We do not publish a mesh grade or a magnet count for this screen, because our supplier does not publish one and we are not going to invent a number that looks precise. If the mesh grade matters for what you are trying to keep out, ask us first and we will get the specification from them before you order.

It is also worth saying what a door screen is not. It will not stop insects already inside, and it does nothing when it is taken down for the winter. Most people pair one with a swatter or a zapper racket for the few that get in anyway.
