I had a couple of them installed in my screened lanai. My opinion and actual experience with them is that they don't work very well unless you open them up (in come the geckos) a PUSH the water into them (yes they were installed at the low grade part of the lanai). It is just as easy (or difficult) to push the water out of the screen door. They really don't just drain with them closed (they are supposed to) since the drain holes are so tiny and too high up on the lid. That plus the hinged cover broke off both of them (but does still nap on and close) and they have only been opened one time. Had them installed about a year ago. Just my experience, YMMV.
