Another question on the front door screens: Does any framing for this take away from the width of the door opening? Is this an issue for getting large pieces of furniture in/out?

Our front screen door cost about $375. We felt it was the best quality material of the different suppliers that we looked at. As for the framing it does take away about 2" on one side of the doorway but since the door itself also blocks that side, when it is open, the loss is really not a big deal.
