TheFitLife Double Door Magnetic Screen - Mesh Curtain with Full Frame Hook & Loop Powerful Magnets, Snap Shut Automatically for Patio, Sliding Or Large Door(76''x81'' - Fits Doors up to 74''x80'')

**UPDATE 2019/06/16**As I suspected, the screen has now relaxed to the point that the magnets close without having to coax them. This material does stretch, so as long as the magnets to not separate during installation, making them initially tight is a good thing. It actually happened a little more quickly than I even anticipated.*****I purchased this to replace "Bug Off 72R by 80 Instant Screen" previously ordered. This screen, today, was just over 2/3 of what we previously paid, two years ago. That's current (TheFitLife) vs. two years ago (Bug Off). I have to say that the FitLife brand seems to be just as strong, but a bit more flexible. Moreover, The installation was quite a bit easier (but took a little longer), given what the manufacturer provided. I added more tacks than what was provided, but that's a negligible cost (about $1.00). This made for a much better fit, and tighter seal. I know I made it just a little too tight, but that will change in the near future... At first, we will have to make sure that the magnets come together, manually. As the fabric is "broken in," however, these magnets will form a seal without having to do that. This fabric stretches, over time, and that will allow the magnets to hang closer together, when in a relaxed state. It took a grand total of about twenty minutes for my wife and I (with a little contribution from my 6'2" grandson) to get this put up, including doorway cleaning time. If you don't intend to use the thumbtack quantity that I used (and your paint will not peel away from the wood, as mine does), I highly recommend that you THOROUGHLY clean the surface prior to attaching the screen. Here are a couple more suggestions:1) Don't remove the adhesive backing from the velcro until you are ready to adhere the screen to your surface.2) When attaching the rolled velcro to the sewn-on velcro, DON'T stretch either one. Lay the screen as flat as possible, and unroll the self-adhesing portion so that both are relaxed, but straight (a little tension is OK, but just enough to keep them both straight). This will prevent bunching, which will lessen your seal and your smooth application.3) Buy yourself a small box of thumbtacks, and place them about 6" apart, along the top and sides. Given that there are TWO magnetic openings, this will keep the outer edges taut, and allow a much better "seal" around the perimeter. This may be a bit of "overkill," but it will insure that winds are less likely to separate the screen from the jamb (remember, my paint peels).4) Avoid attempting installation on a windy/breezy day. You'll simply frustrate yourself, especially if you install this solo.5) Begin your adhesion/tacking at the top, in the center, and work your way out to the edges. This will allow you to control for "sag," rather than starting at the outside. It will also make it far easier to work the sides, once your tension is being controlled all across the top.Overall, this was slightly more time consuming than the Bug Off brand to get installed, but the advantage of having TWO magnetically sealed openings instead of one is a superior return over just one. Just one opening rather impedes being able to open both doors of a French door on "nice" days, when you'd like a breeze to roll through. Further, the fact that the magnets are all the way down the seam makes for a better seal than just the middle and bottom, as is the case with the Bug Off brand. Don't get me wrong... I loved the Bug Off screen, and it served us rather well for the three years we used it. I simply like the fact that, for two thirds the cost, this screen provides the means for a more effective all-around seal in the kit. No additional velcro was needed, whereas the Bug Off only provided "strategic points", for its edge seal. The Bug Off brand is designed to fit inside the doorway, whereas the FitLife brand allows for a seal all around the outside. This, to me, is a better concept. It keeps flying insect pests more outside than trying to seal inside edges, and the bar actually inhibits this, to a degree. I'll try to remember to update this, at a later time, when usage and wear can be reasonably compared.

Easy to install, good product, I have this for the last 2 years, the sticky goes away after long but I put some screws to keep it together because the mesh still good and works great.

The magnets are not very strong, even when I use my hands to put them together some areas still have a hard time staying together. I have another magnetic screen and the magnets are very strong, but they are from a different company. The hook and loop seems weak, but time will tell. I wish I noticed the lace at the top…that would have been a deal breaker for me. Disappointed overall.

So far its all like. Installing it is detailed but not bad. I can't comment on tape as I didn't use it just the pins along with a few extras. I got the large one for french doors and it lined up pretty much perfectly and once tweaked the magnetic opening opens and closes perfectly. It looks like someone is zipping it up at high speed as it closes. I'm going to say durability is going to be pretty good based on we have a 50lb dog that uses it all the time and will hit it and the door with his paw and barks when he wants in. So far after months of use it hasn't frayed or worn that I can tell where he hits it. Its dirty but not damaged. So im impressed with that. Function is as good as claimed in my case so far. We and dog have learned to hit it just right going in and out to pop the magnets and slide through and it closes up behind us on its own perfectly 99% of the time. once in a while the bottom 4 inches will not close as it hangs up on the sill when someone comes in. Going out that never happens.When this wears out we will purchase a new one.

This has the magnetic opening in the center of the door opening which is so much better than the ones that are offset. The performance of magnet re-closing is awesome. Easier to go out and come in. The screen is lighter though very durable. The lines and lace pattern at the top look cool too! So nice to have the airflow and keep bugs out.

It looks nice and was easy to install. At first, there was no problem with the magnets closing after I went through the door. A major problem occurred when it became windy because when it's windy the magnets fly apart and may or may not close again. My french doors are metal so one side of the screen blows up against the door, the magnets stick to the door leaving the screen open. I now have a binder clip at the bottom of each opening so at least it cannot open completely and it will close again when the wind settles. You could not use it as a door if you have binder clips on the bottom so I must give it a poor rating.

Works great. Love it. Perfect for dogs too. Golden and a Pom easily can go in and out when they want and screen seals with strong magnets. Keeps bugs out.

The media could not be loaded.  Measured the door frame and selected the appropriate size. Install was easy. The sticky tape seems really sticky. We shall see how long it hold up in the rain etc.the dogs didn’t know what to make of it at first but they got the hang of it quickly. Video is of their first attempts but they are good at it now and it closes behind them nicely. Sometimes the magnets stick to the metal doors leaving a small opening but it’s still better than not having a screen. Overall very happy we purchased this product.

Excelent, I liked it

Super

Muy contenta. Es una mosquitera muy práctica porque te permite abrir las dos puertas. Las medidas son tal y como se indica. En mi caso me sobró un poquito pero encajaban perfectamente. He comprado productos similares y con este estoy muy contenta. El precio es un poco alto pero me imagino que es porque no hay muchas de este estilo

I'm so impressed by this screen as is my husband.It takes quite a lot for him to be impressed I can assure you but he even thinks it's well worth the money.All up it took around 20-30 minutes to fix and hang (we are no spring chickens) - and it was the perfect solution for our French Doors.I purchased the large size and (my mistake) it's probably around 5cm too short but it will serve its purpose for now (keeping out birds, flies, mosquitoes) as it's done well, for the past several weeks.The magnets are very strong and shut quickly and securely.Certainly a hundred times better than those we had twenty years ago from our country's biggest hardware store (as mentioned by others).We've hung the screen on the internal side of our metal French Doors and have had no problems hanging them that particular way either.Definitely a 10/10 for us and highly recommended.
