We just had a new retractable screen door installed on our back french doors and I LOVE IT! We ran into TJ of TJ Enterprises at the Nashville Home show we attended a few weeks back. I have been looking to replace our older screen door, which sat on a track and wheel system and did not work worth a hoot!
Woo Hoo to the folks of Mirage Screen Systems, who manufacture a retractable screen door. This thing is the bomb, it slides open and shut like a window shade. Get this the screen is not attached to the top of bottom of the door in the traditional way with a groove and spline system. This works great with the dogs, especially our over exuberant Airedale who has been known to jump up on the door when wanting in the house. The screen "gives" when pushed on the result no more torn screens...yipee!
It is held to the frame by a strong magnet, one which can be adjusted. Why would you want to adjust it you ask? Well, get this TJ fixed the magnet so it would release when the door was hit. This resulted in a "bang" when the door returned to the original position. Our Airedale hit it one time and one time only. The sound coupled with the speed sent her running and we now have no more issues with her wanting to jump on the screen door!
If you are in need of a screen door, my money is on the Mirage Retractable System. I have included the link to the company's website within the blog title. Check it out I am sure it will peak your interested. Oh and don't forget to contact TJ of TJ Enterprises (Smyrna) for installation. He is on time, fast and customer oriented.
