Screen Doors

Screen doors made for everyday Arizona living.

Sliding, retractable, and hinged options for patios and entrances. Choose around the opening, available clearance, and the way you use the door.

Made for your opening

Sliding screens for patio access

A sliding screen door is a practical companion to a sliding glass patio door. It travels along the opening rather than swinging into the patio or room. The fit depends on the actual frame, track, rollers, and threshold, so a door that is close in size is not necessarily the right replacement.

Tell us whether the current screen drags, jumps out of the track, leaves gaps, or has damaged mesh. Some problems are related to the screen itself; others start with worn hardware or a track that needs attention. We review the opening before recommending a new door so the replacement addresses the everyday use, not just the appearance.

Retractable or hinged? Start with the opening.

A retractable screen can be useful when you want screening while the doorway is open and a less prominent screen when it is not in use. Housing space, mounting surfaces, and the width and height of the opening determine which configuration can work. Ask about the actual available system and its operating requirements before settling on a style.

A hinged screen door gives a familiar swing-door arrangement. It needs room for the swing, a suitable attachment point, and hardware that works with the existing entry. Handles, latches, closers, and threshold clearance deserve as much attention as mesh. Discuss children, pets, and frequent patio traffic so the recommendation suits how the doorway is used.

What to discuss

  • Doorway type and approximate opening size
  • Current screen, track, or hardware problems
  • Space for a swing or retractable housing
  • Pets, children, and daily traffic
  • Exterior finish or HOA requirements

Before fabrication

A measured fit is worth the conversation.

Screen doors are not all interchangeable. A patio opening, a covered entry, and a heavily used back door each have different clearance and durability questions. Bring up existing damage, uneven surfaces, trim, and the amount of outward visibility you want. If your home has exterior appearance requirements, confirm those before ordering.

Screens help with insects and airflow when an opening is in use, but ordinary door screening is not a security device. If you want a custom iron security screen door, compare that product separately. Mesh availability, frame finish, installation scope, and final pricing are confirmed during the estimate rather than assumed from a gallery photo.

Straight Answers

Screen Doors questions

Do you offer sliding and retractable screen doors?

Arizona Screen Techs offers sliding, retractable, and hinged screen-door options. We confirm the available configuration and whether it fits your opening during the estimate.

Can a new screen fix a door that does not slide well?

It depends on the cause. The screen frame, rollers, track, and threshold all need review. A new panel alone may not correct a damaged track or incompatible hardware.

Is an ordinary screen door a security door?

No. Standard screen doors are primarily for airflow and insect screening. Custom iron security screen doors are a separate product, with their own frame, hardware, and installation requirements.
