Professional handymen charge $100+ to install a magnetic screen door.
Wipe down your entire door frame with rubbing alcohol. Remove all dust, grease, and debris. This is the most skipped—and most important—step in any magnetic screen door installation.
Before peeling any sticker backing, hold the screen up against your door frame. Check the fit. Make sure it covers the full opening and that the magnetic closure will align properly. This is your last chance to adjust before committing.
Use a pencil to lightly mark the corners of where the magnetic screen will sit. This keeps everything aligned as you apply the adhesive—especially important for French doors and sliding glass door magnetic mesh installations.
Peel the backing from the adhesive strips and apply them directly to the clean door frame. Work from top to bottom, pressing each section firmly as you go. Don't apply to the screen itself—always apply to the frame.
Starting at the top center, press the magnetic screen's top edge firmly into the adhesive. Work your way down one side, then the other, smoothing as you go. Finally, press the bottom edge in place.
Close the two halves of the screen and check the magnetic closure. Adjust the connection points if needed for a tight, even seal. Press down along the entire center seam to secure the wind-resistant magnetic closure.
Open and close the magnetic screen door 5-10 times. Check that it seals properly, doesn't sag, and sits flush against the frame. Make any final adjustments immediately while the adhesive is still workable.
ZOORSCREEN's custom screen door by dimensions means your screen arrives pre-cut to your exact measurements—no trimming, no guessing, no "close enough." Combined with the pre-cut adhesive strips and the magic sticker mounting system, the entire process takes under 10 minutes for most installations.
