Bring fresh air through single doors, French doors and patio entries without leaving a permanent screen in view.
Many homeowners want the ventilation of an open door without mosquitoes, flies and other insects entering the house. A retractable door screen can be pulled across the opening when needed, then stored inside a low-profile housing when the doorway should be completely open.
Screens of Georgia installs custom retractable screen systems for single entry doors, double and French doors, sliding patio doors and selected custom openings. The correct system depends on the door swing, handles, threshold, trim, opening dimensions, traffic pattern and available mounting surfaces.
Because doorways are high-use areas, fit and placement matter as much as appearance. The screen should be easy to operate while preserving comfortable passage through the opening.

Open the door for airflow while reducing the number of insects entering the home.
The mesh stores in its housing when the screen is not needed, preserving the appearance of the doorway.
Configurations are available for many single, double, French, sliding, inswing and outswing doors.
Each opening is evaluated around its frame, threshold, hardware, trim and available clearances.
Retractable screens can work with many door styles, but the installation must be designed around the way the door opens and how people move through the space.
| Door Type | Planning Considerations |
|---|---|
| Single entry door | Housing location, handle clearance, trim and door swing |
| French or double doors | Meeting point, inactive door, hardware and full-opening use |
| Sliding patio door | Existing frame, panel travel, threshold and opening width |
| Inswing or outswing door | Screen placement must remain clear of the moving door |
| Custom or oversized opening | Dimensions, mounting support and available product configuration |
Not every system fits every doorway. Screens of Georgia measures the opening and recommends an available configuration rather than assuming a standard package will work.

A practical solution for frequently used entries and doors that should remain visually open.
Enjoy airflow through an entry without installing a permanent swinging screen door over the primary door design.
Double-screen configurations may allow one or both doors to open while the doorway remains screened, depending on the selected system.
Selected systems can screen wide patio entries while coordinating with the existing frame and threshold.
Provide ventilation between the house and a screened porch, patio or pool area while maintaining convenient access.
A retractable system can be useful where a traditional swinging screen door would take up too much floor space.
Selected offices, hospitality properties and other businesses may use retractable screens on appropriate openings. See our commercial solutions .

A retractable screen must work as part of the doorway, not become an obstacle. During the consultation, the installer evaluates:
Tracks and thresholds should remain clear of dirt, leaves and pet hair. Users should guide the screen normally rather than allowing it to snap shut or forcing it when debris is present.
A retractable screen provides insect control and ventilation. It is not a security door, safety gate, pet barrier or storm product.
| Priority | Option to Consider |
|---|---|
| Screen disappears when not in use | Retractable door screen |
| Permanent rigid screen panel | Traditional hinged screen door |
| Preserve decorative entry-door appearance | Retractable door screen |
| Screen a large porch or patio opening | Retractable porch screen |
| Keep an enclosure screened continuously | Fixed screen system |
Available mesh options vary by screen system. The best choice depends on visibility, airflow, insect size, doorway use and household needs.
Screens of Georgia can compare available mesh samples during the consultation.
