Default Retractable screen

My suggestion is don't install one. We had one on a pre-owned house we purchased. Lots of fiddling, lubricating and adjusting. We finally tossed it after 8 months. My daughter installed one up north in a home with 2 pre-teens. It lasted 2 1/2 months. A neighbor put in one and it lasted until someone walked through it.
Put in a good quality storm/screen door. Not so high tech, but it works!
