Just installed this type of door. Our opening was only 57 inches, so had to cut the rails down quite a bit. Make sure you assemble the door first to get the correct measurement to cut the pieces. Very easy installation with a helper. It works just fine.

Why is the product link not in description?

I Love 💕 this video..
Your explanation is simply 👍🏼 great..🤔 is there a link to where I can purchase this door

[@slwhite1959]

Is it the same installation for a slider? Will the screen opening be in the middle

[@zack2zack215]

thanks for telling me it was easy. i was so nervous

[@patdthomas]

F-bomb score! Epic!

[@daneboe]

Great stuff once again Mr. Massey!

[@sandym7403]

My french doors open outward, so that whole system has to be installed inside. is there another option ?

[@tmedwards8426]

Great video! Great product, too. I'm replacing the self-designed weighted closer I added to the backyd patio doors. Much better choice here.

[@yingyang3205]

Smart man

[@brdboy2000]

My bottom sill has a track, and there are side and top rail tracks. Do I need to replace?

[@mechellemcelfresh3844]

Works great

[@tonjadavis5375]

Can you put this door on the inside if your doors swing out?

[@prototypechannel6975]

Yes phantom screens you can

[@vibz123rulez]

always a good day when you upload

[@Mrdubomb]

Could you do this installation without screwing into the sill and brick moulds? My brick moulds are part of the door and I really dont want to ruin them.could a quality double sided tape work?

[@thePilgrem]

shouldn't there be silicon or similar to prevent water entering the screw holes and rotting the wood frame?

[@bobjenz]

Always a pain! Thanks for making this video!

[@yesimraging]

Does it have door handles on the inside of the screen

[@prototypechannel6975]

Phantom screens do yes

[@mikeonetoo]

Would it fit on an Andersen Frenchwood 400 series double inswing door with two tracks built into the sill, protruding exterior door lever-handles and astragal?

[@fousies]

Would I use this set up if our French doors only have one right swing door and the other is fixed?

[@johnblack3732]

Yes you could.

[@sandravicchy6470]

How do I replace the screen in a damaged dream screen door?

[@prototypechannel6975]

It takes a bit of work but you can usually contact the manufacturer and they will send you a replacement screen have servicing available.

[@anitatarango8680]

Great Job !!.. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@fivestring65ify]

THANK YOU.I did a single door install but it's the same principle. Great video.

[@davidcopperfield9278]

Can this sliding screen door be installed on outswing doors?

[@MrFixItDIY]

Technically yes but Not really. Not sure how you would open the screen from inside in that case.

[@pamelahauer9938]

The only problem with this screen door having a fixed panel is that he effectively took a lovely pair of French Doors with a wide opening and made it into a single door. Maybe that's what the owners wanted. Just seems to me very limiting.

[@a_noelle8595]

He said the second door was a fixed door. So in this case the install didn't take away a wide opening. It was already nonexistent.

[@BGood222]

My french "doors" are the same way. The second "door" is only a window. It does not open. :(

[@mflacke]

Both sides of the screen door open. The other side is not fixed. Those pins release. It works like every other double door.

[@prototypechannel6975]

a double can be installed for true opening french doors

[@werlkj567]

Got a like just for the f-bomb bit.

[@lisaborhaug2183]

You said almost ANY door- but what if there is no wood frame around the door- only stucco. There is, however, 3 inches of casing.

[@prototypechannel6975]

Fine. install it on the casing. You just want to make a continuous flat surface all the way around of at least 3/4"

[@PrayForMojo24]

Is that Papa John's new gig @0:38?

[@leester9487]

Isn't this 22plinkster?

[@rkgsd]

I bit rushed through in the steps but I get the idea.

[@seanparker5373]

What a about an out swinging door? Just install it inside? Not sure there is room to install it Inside

[@Firstname137]

Why Not just flip the hinges the opposite way.
Take the door off and flip them in and then the door will open the opposite direction and you won't have to put it inside

[@seanparker5373]

@@Firstname137 the door is by a small dining area. The door are out swinging for a reason. It doesn't matter. There is room for the screen door Inside

[@79Nsal]

Thanks for the vid. I don't like the look of that screen though. It completely takes away from the beautiful french doors.

[@raspyni]

Agree. Was thinking the same thing.

[@Scott2-13-70]

Both sides open. You would just leave both sides open all the time, then close the screen doors from each side when you want to leave your French doors open for air in the summer or whatever.

[@edwarddellarocca8374]

Is there a way to add a doggie door to this retractable door?

[@nataliekhalilrealtor]

Why not just add a regular screen door? Have it from the builder. It’s awesome

[@brianrichards5828]

I'll let you know about the F-Bomb score for me.

[@charlesabdallah5813]

That does not look easy....
