A Large White Sliding
Screen Door shown here used as a
Garage Door Screen. Shown in front of a
standard 2 car
garage door. This unit has 4 tracks and 4
vents.
Sliding Screen Doors can be used for much
more than
garage doors, though, and are perfect for
use as
a very easy way to screen-in an
existing covered patio.

Although
commonly used in front of
garage doors, our Large
Sliding Screen Doors can be
used for much more than just
garages. They are an
extremely popular option to
turn an existing covered
patio into a screen room
with a minimum of labor
since the doors are shipped
from the factory already
built. You can even mix and
match with some sections of
sliding screen doors and
some section with
fixed screen wall panels.
And, since the doors are
easily removable, you never
have to choose between a
covered patio or a screened
in patio - you can have
either whenever you want.
Typical features include:

|
-
Custom built to
your size
requirements.
There is no such
thing as a
standard size,
though, so don't
worry about
paying extra for
"customization".
There are maximum sizes both
for width and height.
-
For
garage doors, these sliding
screen units are available
for both 2 car garage doors
and single car garage doors.
2 car garage units usually
use 4 sliding doors. Single
car units usually use 2
sliding doors. Other
configurations are available
for either, though. And
please note that while you
can drive vehicles through a
2 car garage unit, with a
single car unit you will not
be able to drive a car into
the garage without removing
the easily removable door
sections.
-
All
doors use large 1" rubber
tires to make opening and
closing the doors very easy.
These large tires resist
dirt and dust and will last
for years to come. Some
other manufacturers use very
small diameter brass rollers
which tend to clog and wear
out quickly making opening
and closing the doors rather
difficult. See the photo of
the roller on the left.
-
White or bronze
colored aluminum
frames are available. Both are the
same price.
-
Optional
color matched mounting
channels are available and
can ease installation in
some applications. Talk to
us to learn more.
-
10 year
manufacturer's
warranty.
-
When
used as a garage door
screen, a large threshold on
the inside and outside of
the frame allows you to
drive vehicles across the
door sill without damage.
See photos on the right.
These thresholds are
included standard for most
garage screen doors. You may
also want the thresholds in
other situations, especially
if you will be moving
motorcycles or riding lawn
mowers or other things
across the door sill.
-
All
units include inside latches
to lock the doors into the
closed position.
-
All are shipped
with the doors completely
built at the factory. Please
note that the frame is
shipped knocked down and in
4 pieces. The frame is
assembled simply with 2
screws at each corner for a
total of 8 screws and is
then installed into the
opening. Doors are simply
dropped into place with no
need of tools.
-
Units
are available standard with
2,3, or 4 sliding doors, and
more sliding doors if needed
on wide units. Frames have 2 tracks or 4 tracks.
With 2 tracks you have a
maximum 50% opening, and
with 4 tracks you have a
maximum 75% opening. The
number of sliding doors is
not determined by the number
of tracks - you can have 3
or 4 sliding doors on a 2
track frame if you like.
-
These
are not the electrically
operated screens you may
have seen on television that
go up and down at the touch
of a button. We do not sell
those units because they
typically run $1,500 to
$2,000 per opening and up
(and often more for units
installed in front of a 2
car garage door). The doors
we sell are considerably
less expensive, easier to
install, and do not require
electrical wiring installed
for each opening.
Remember, Large Sliding
Screen Doors
are incredibly easy to
install, even if you have
no previous experience
working with aluminum.
And since we use the
exact same units
professional contractors
use, your get the same result
as if you had a contractor
install it for, but at a
fraction of the price.
