Customer Review: Solves My Bug Problem
Summary: 5 Stars
I live in a condo, where I am not allowed to install a permanent screen door. That left me with no way to get a evening breeze through the house without leaving the front door wide open and allowing the bugs into my home. When I saw these in 2004 I purchased two, as I thought for the price--I paid $4.99 at the time--they would not last long. I am still using the first one! Mine came with velcro on the entire length of the hinge side of the door, which works fine even when I go in and out. Others are correct that the instructions indicate that you should screw the provided hooks into the jamb on the knob side to keep the door closed. However, I have been using a length of double sided velcro to close from the handle to my inside door jamb. I have a sliding security lock with a brass loop on the inside jamb (slides from door through loop on jamb when door closed)--I simply loop the velcro length through and flip back to reverse side. This keeps the door closed and is easy to go through if needed. I also have found that with a little bit of practice, putting it up has become quite easy.
I use only in the evenings when there's little traffic through the door, so I understand why other might indicate that opening and closing can be difficult, especially if you use the two provided hooks. Also, folding it up isn't easy. So I just keep it leaning against the wall behind the door. I only fold it in the fall when the weather cools. It allows me to get a great breeze through the house without the bugs on all but the hottest days, saving me from using the AC!
Customer Review: Not bad for the price- serves it's purpose

I was interested in this product because I live in a apartment with no patio and it doesn't get enough sun in the living room. I do have a door that opens up directly outside and I contemplated getting a "real screen door" but I am on a tight budget and also didn't want something the landlord could take objection to (and screw me out of a deposit) so I was googling screen doors and stumbled upon this. The price was low enough that I could risk trying it.
Someone said theirs didn't come with instructions but mine did and it was pretty simple to figure out: simply a strip of self adhesive velcro is placed on the outside of the door and the mesh fabric door with the match velcro on one side sticks to it. You install the two little screw hooks on the inside of the doorway to keep the door closed ( by the way of little fabric loops). The door was big enough to cover my door way - it didn't fit perfectly, it is about an inch too taller at the top but that's okay.)
Now I get a nice breeze with no bugs coming in and much more light in my apartment,(I can save on the light bill by not having to turn on 2 or three lights in the day time!)
It looks a little low budget because it is- it's just mesh and velcro and wire but for me it worked out more than adequate especially for the 8 dollars I paid for it.

I bought this because I live in a rental place thinking I wouldnt need to drill or screw anything into the doorwall because the product states "Simple to install NO TOOLS !. Well to my surprise thats the first thing they ask you to do. The screen itself does not line up with the door they say it fits any door up to 36 inches and my door measured 35 inches. I measured it purposely to make sure it would fit before purchasing it. The gaps that remain around the door would let every insect in bringing me to the third misleading thing about this product. "It keeps out insects and other pests". Pretty hard to hold up to that claim when you have gaps all the way around the door. Very misleading represenation of this product. Save yourself the hassle and go with something different.Customer Review: RENTERS DREAM DOOR

I thought the new design for the instant screen door would be an improvement. My las one was a hanging screen and it curled, letting in the bugs. This one was only slightly improved. The support pieces that are located near the handle do ot stay in place, therefore, it does not close all the time!!!! As the time goes on, the brace comes off more and more. Maybe I should glue it in place!!!!!!INSTANT POP UP SCREEN DOOR
