Tools and Hardware Reviews of Instant Screen Door
Customer Review: Low expectations, but pleased for my purpose
Summary: 5 Stars
I've read the positive and negative reviews thus far and I think they are all correct, actually. The product is cheap - but that's what it's supposed to be. I personally cannot afford to install a proper screen door, so I was very happy to find a makeshift alternative.
I kept my expectations low. As someone else said, the material is indeed exactly like the cheap $5 popup laundry hampers. Which is fine with me.
I can see that the metal framing that supports the unit could be warped on some individual products. On mine, it wasn't warped, so I'm happy.
The measurements happened to fit my door very nicely, but do measure yours and make sure it's a good match. It is large and could be too large for some doors.
One side is installed by sticking a long roll of velcro to the door frame via adhesive. Ours seems to be sticking fine.
The other side has 2 hook and loop attachments. I decided not to install it because it seemed like it would be a pain to fumble around with it every time (I wanted the screen door specifically so we can just breeze in and out the back). I got some velcro at the hardware store and installed 3 x 1 inch strips at the top, middle and bottom. It sticks to the door side "ok" but I don't think it would hold up to a lot of traffic or aggressive use. I might try to sew it into the fabric if it's a problem but so far (1 week) it's fine.
But, all that said, I'm happy. It does the job I wanted. It fits the door. It keeps the bugs out. I don't even think it's that ugly. I don't, however, think it would hold up to aggressive use, like little kids barreling in and out of it all the time or just a lot of traffic. But if you just want a breeze coming in, and if your traffic in and out is not that high or aggressive, it is great for the money.
BTW it took about 7 minutes total for me to set up, though that doesn't count the hook and eye screw since I skipped it.
