French doors, finally screened properly

Double and French doorways are the openings homeowners most want screened and the ones fixed panels serve worst — a hinged pair with a center meeting point leaves nowhere sensible for a standard screen to live. A double retractable system solves it with two mirrored housings, one on each jamb. The panels pull across and meet magnetically in the middle; released, both vanish and your doorway is all glass and daylight again.

We measure both leaves, set the housings plumb, and tune the meeting point so the seal is tight and the pull is light. Color-matched housings keep the hardware quiet against the frame.

The whole-wall-open feeling

A screened double doorway changes how the house lives in summer: both doors thrown open, a six-foot column of evening air moving through, and nothing bug-shaped coming with it. It’s the single biggest airflow upgrade on our price list.

Like all retractables, the mesh spends its off-hours rolled away from sun and weather, which is why these systems age so much more gracefully than fixed panels in the same doorway.

What it costs

A double-door retractable system is $1,100 installed when booked online ($1,199 by phone) — both housings, measurement, fitting and adjustment included. It’s our premium service, installed in a single visit, and covered by the same fit-right guarantee as a $45 rescreen: if it doesn’t fit perfectly, we come back and make it right.

Frequently asked

How do the two panels seal in the middle?
Magnetically — the leading rails meet and hold at the center of the doorway, and release with a light pull. No latches to fiddle with.
Can just one side of my French doors get a retractable?
Yes — if you only ever open one leaf, a single-door system on that side is the cheaper right answer, and we’ll say so when we measure.
How long does installation take?
Usually under two hours for a double system, measured and installed in the same visit.
What widths can a double system cover?
Standard double and French doorways are all coverable; unusually wide openings get confirmed at measurement before we commit you to anything.
