Retractable Door Screens

Handle Options

Two ways to go here: a latching handle or a magnet closure. Pick whichever fits how your family actually uses the door.

Latching Handle

About 90% of our Tampa customers go with this one. Quiet, easy to operate, and it stays put when a gust of wind off the bay hits the screen.

Latching Handle with Latch Stop

Same latching handle, but with an added lock. Nice option if you want a little extra security when the front door is open and the screen is doing the work.

Magnet Handle

The original. Simple magnetic closure, no moving parts to think about.

Mesh Options

Mesh openness is just the percentage of the fabric that’s actually open space. Higher openness means more breeze and a clearer view through the screen. Lower openness blocks more sun and gives you more privacy.

For most front doors and back patios where you mainly want to keep no-see-ums and mosquitoes out, our Insect Mesh is the right call. If your door faces west and takes the full afternoon sun, or you want to cut down on heat and glare, Privacy Mesh is worth a look.

The best mesh for your home depends on which way the door faces, how much direct sun it gets, and what matters more to you — airflow and visibility, or shade and privacy.

Note: Openness factors are approximate. When we come out for the free measure, we’ll talk through which mesh makes the most sense for your specific door.

Insect Mesh

Standard insect mesh keeps the bugs out without giving up much in terms of airflow or your view of the yard. The most common pick for front doors and lanai entries around Tampa Bay.

Privacy Mesh

Privacy mesh does the bug protection job and adds serious sun control on top of it. A tighter weave (lower openness) blocks more heat and gives you more privacy from the street. A looser weave lets in more light and air.

Color Options

Pick a Signature color or a wood grain finish that works with the rest of your house. Every frame gets custom powder coated in the color you choose, so it holds up to Florida sun and salt air without fading or peeling.

Signature colors are stocked and ready to go. Wood grain finishes are a special order. And if nothing on the list is exactly right, we can do a custom color match too.
