I have installed about 10 of those retractable screen doors they are good money makers 150$ labour plus about 50$ profit on the 120$ door can make 200$ in an hour :thumb:
The doors malfuction often as people tend to walk thru them put a ribbon or some sticker on the center of the screen.

I was going to post a link to that thread, but the SG search results for "bullsh|t" were too numerous

sometimes you have to think outside the box to get inside the box ;).

ya,it was pretty easy to install,I really like the thing,

I sure wish I had you with me when I bought it to get your contractors discount ! :D I paid $130 for it at Lowes,but they are the only dealer around here for those doors.

Nice job on the installation. Looks very pro. I second putting something on it so you don't walk through it.
