Important Ordering Notes & Measurement Guidance
When finalizing your custom order specifications, please verify your preferred installation position and hardware configuration:
- Installation Position: Clearly specify whether your retractable screen system will be installed on the Interior (inside the door/window frame) or the Exterior (outside the door/window frame).
- Handle & Lock Orientation: For single-entry doors and single-hung/casement windows, please indicate your preferred operational direction. Specify whether the screen housing handle and locking mechanism should be positioned on the Left-Hand Side or the Right-Hand Side of the frame when looking directly at the installation area.
If you are uncertain about taking these dimensions or determining the correct orientation, we are here to help!

Professional Maintenance and Cleaning Guide for Retractable Screens
To ensure the longevity, smooth operation, and pristine appearance of your premium retractable screen system, implementing a routine maintenance and cleaning schedule is highly recommended. Because these engineering systems rely on precise spring tension and low-friction track movement, keeping the mechanical components free of debris is essential to maintaining your warranty and maximizing product life.
1. Routine Track Maintenance and Lubrication
The top and bottom guide tracks are the most critical components for effortless operation. Over time, outdoor debris, dust, pet hair, and airborne particles can accumulate within the lower channel, causing friction or binding.
- Cleaning: Periodically vacuum the tracks using a soft brush attachment to clear out loose dirt and grit. Wipe the interior profiles with a damp microfiber cloth to remove residual grime.
- Lubrication: Once or twice a year, apply a light layer of high-quality dry silicone spray directly into the tracks. Crucial Note: Never use heavy wet lubricants, WD-40, or petroleum-based oils, as these will attract dirt, gum up the internal mechanisms, and permanently damage the screen components.
2. Mesh Fabric Preservation and Cleaning
Our high-tensile screen mesh is engineered to withstand environmental exposure, but seasonal cleaning preserves optimal visibility and airflow.
- Cleaning Procedure: Fully extend the screen and secure it in place. Gently wash the mesh surface using a soft-bristle brush or a clean microfiber cloth dipped in a mixture of lukewarm water and a mild, non-abrasive dish soap. Avoid harsh chemical detergents or bleach, which can degrade the protective UV coating on the mesh.
- Rinsing: Lightly spray the mesh with a garden hose using low pressure (never use a high-pressure power washer, as this can warp or dislodge the fabric from its tracks). Allow the mesh to dry completely in the open air before retracting it back into the protective aluminum housing to prevent mold or mildew growth.
3. Environmental Operational Practices
Retractable screens are specifically designed for insect protection, ventilation, and solar shading; they are not intended to serve as rigid barriers against severe weather. During periods of high winds, heavy rain, or winter storms, it is best practice to keep the screens fully retracted inside their protective housings. This simple habit shields the mesh fabric and operational components from unnecessary structural stress, ensuring your system operates flawlessly for years to come.

📝 Detailed Product Description
Effortless Protection Meets Modern Convenience
Transform how you connect your indoor and outdoor living spaces with our Auto-Rollback Retractable Roller Insect Screens for Double Door. Specifically engineered for French doors, bi-fold doors, sliding glass doors, and wide double-door alfresco openings, this upgraded system delivers hands-free convenience without compromising on style.
Unlike traditional manual sliding pull-across screens that require full manual guidance to slide open or shut, our auto-rollback system utilizes precision internal spring tension combined with soft-close brake technology. When unlatched, both screen panels glide gently back into their protective side cassettes, leaving your doorway 100% unobstructed when the screens aren't in use.
Why Choose Our Auto-Rollback Double-Door Screen?
1. Hands-Free Auto-Retraction
Experience effortless operation. Simply pull both handles toward the center to seal your doorway, or gently release the lock to watch the mesh smoothly roll away into the side housings automatically.
2. Soft-Close Safety Damping
Designed with safety and durability in mind. The integrated damping system controls the retraction speed, ensuring the screen rolls back quietly and at a safe velocity. This prevents sudden snap-backs, protecting young children, pets, and prolonging screen life.
3. Seamless Magnetic Center Lock
The meeting stiles feature continuous, full-length magnetic strips. When both doors are brought together, they lock instantly with a firm click, forming an impenetrable barrier against crawling and flying insects.
4. Discreet & Protective Cassette Housings
When retracted, the high-density mesh stays neatly coiled inside powder-coated aluminum cassette boxes on either side of the frame. This shield protects the mesh from dust, rain, sunlight, and wear when not in use.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1: How does the auto-rollback system work compared to manual sliding screens?
A: Manual screens require you to physically drag the screen bar all the way back to open them. The Auto-Rollback System features internal spring tension and speed dampers—when you unlatch the center magnetic lock, the screen automatically glides back into its housing on its own, safely and quietly.
Q2: Will the screen snap back violently and slam against the housing?
A: No. Our upgraded screen features a soft-close speed damper / brake system. This ensures the retraction motion is governed at a smooth, constant, and controlled speed, eliminating slam-backs and protecting fingers.
Q3: Can I open just one side of the double door screen?
A: Yes! Each side operates independently. You can keep one side fixed in position while opening or closing the other side, or bring both together in the middle for wide-open door access.
Q4: Can the tracks and cassette be cut down to fit my exact door size?
A: Yes. The aluminum channels and tracks can be trimmed on-site using a fine-toothed hacksaw or drop saw to fit your exact door opening frame.
Q5: Is the bottom track a tripping hazard?
A: No. The bottom guide track is engineered with an ultra-low profile profile (approx. 8–12mm high) with sloped edges, allowing smooth foot traffic and easy wheel pass-through.
Q6: How do I clean and maintain the retractable screen?
A: Periodically vacuum the bottom track to keep it free of grit and dust. Clean the mesh using a soft brush or microfibre cloth dipped in warm, soapy water. Avoid harsh chemical solvents.

The mesh is strong yet almost invisible from a distance. The magnetic central closing is super tight with no gaps. Absolutely love it!
Excellent product and very easy to install. Watch the installation video. Very helpful. Now we can open all our French bifold doors in summer, and let the cool air in the late afternoon.
Fantastic solution for double doors. Arrived well-packaged and was simple to install. Keeps flies and mosquitoes out while allowing fresh airflow. Couldn't ask for a better product!
