Great, complete magnetic closure
I saw this at my brother-in-law's house and it worked great. We had a much earlier style of this that we had to have custom-made for our odd size french door. The dog had tried to scratch at the door and torn some of the netting (which defeats the purpose), so I had patched the netting. That old style only had a couple square magnetic patches, which meant that the screen material had to overlap somewhat, which made it harder to open.This design, with the magnets running along the full height of the opening, works much better. It zips itself together well each time someone goes through. The screen material seems to do the trick but be flexible and strong.Installation was pretty easy. I was concerned that it would be difficult to fit our odd-size door, and that the staple/roll methods in the installation video would be cumbersome, but in actuality, there wasn't that much slack to take up, so I just kind of squinched up the material as I velcro'd it up.The one detraction I will report is that the velcro you stick up around your door frame has started to pull away a bit, especially right above the door opening (where there is the most pushing/strain during use). This is a hard problem to overcome, as we live in an area that gets very hot in the summer, and our french door is very exposed to weather.We are really pleased with this screen door. It's head and shoulders better than what we had before.

Great product works well with one caveat
Very pleased with this product. If you follow the instructions, it works as recommended. Our dog was always wanting in and out, this solved the problem of leaving the door open, letting flies and mosquitos inside. My one caveat is I wish I had ordered the larger size by width. Our screen is hung inside the home. Because of the door frame, I did not want pin holes on the wood. So I placed one side on the edge of the door frame - into the wall, but the other side had to be installed with the Velcro on the wooden door which remains closed. I had to reposition the Velcro side, which resulted in removing the paint. The adhesive is very strong. If I had ordered a wider screen, I could have use the push pins on the side of the frame or wall on each side. My mistake. I will have to repaint the door (it needed it anyway). I do not plan on keeping up year round, only in the spring and early fall, so painting will have to take place. In Texas, the temp gets so intense, we cannot leave the door open year round. The closure works very well and our dog has figured it out. I'll just buy the larger size for next year.

Closes up tight
Installed easily with the provided full length Velcro. It closes well, better than other brands. It is a little long so I had to install it high.

Seems to Work Well for a Sliding Glass Door
I was excited to find a screen door for a sliding glass door. I have only seen this one; which has the opening on one side versus in the middle. I purchased the 72" x 96" left opening screendoor. It was very easy to install. One thing to keep in mind, you do not receive enough adhesive velcro strips to completley frame the door. You have to be strategic in how you place them. Which is not a big deal because there will not be openings in these areas for bugs to get in. The screen door fits snuggly against the frame. I have two small dogs; one had no problem adapting to it and understanding that he can go through it the screen. The other dog requires some training because he does not understand it. It does not help that he has tried to come in through the sliding screen door recently and bounced off of it. That gave him trust issues. But, I use treats to coax him through and it is helping. Its like teaching them to use a dog door. Overall, I like it. Especially since there was an added bonus that it darkens my room a little and provides another level of security from my neighbor's kids as they jump on their trampoline.The only thing I have noticed is, when pups come in, the bottom part of the screen door will catch on the door sill and you might have to move it back into place. I have the screen door as high as I can go as there is a stucco popout right above my patio door. But, it is not a big deal.

Not what I had hoped for...
We purchased this product in July because our friends had one and it worked great. My husband and I had no problem setting it up and it looked great. Within one hour our dog put her paw on the door it ripped a big hole. We contacted the company and got nowhere. Today the glue on the velcro melted and the screen just started to fall off. I would say this is a good product for people who live in cool climates, do not have pets, are willing to only put the screen on the inside of thier home, or just what something to work for a couple months.

Does the job! Second Review
I bought this for a french door that opens inward. We predominately use the right side of the door (looking in toward the house) so ordered the R version of the screen. Install was easy. We followed the instructions about having the opening side have slightly less tension than the other two sides. This allows the magnetic opening to click easily together every time. The dog quickly adapted to using it.The build quality is good. The Velcro and adhesive were okay (make sure to thoroughly clean the areas before you stick it). The Velcro eventually gave out (i.e. didn't maintain its stickiness even though we just left it mounted on the trim during the winter. Just the slight tension from the hanging screen caused the Velcro to unstick).Update May 2023: I had to order a new one. The new version looks like a better build. But, the box I received didn't include the mounting strip of Velcro. We probably received an item that had been returned by another customer (judging by the additional tape added to the box) and they kept the Velcro. Disappointing.
