Since I don't want these inside the house, I cannot leave the lanai door open. I was thinking of adding a sliding screen door but have not found anyone that can do it. There is no track for a screen door. I talked to Home Depot and they said it can't be done unless I replace the entire doorway - which would involve removing a stationary glass door; a sliding glass door; and all of the framework. I talked to T&D Screen Enclosures and they say that it can be done but that they don't do it (and don't know anyone who can). Has anyone added a sliding screen door to their lanai? If so, do you have any recommendations? Was it complicated? Thanks.

Yes. The lanai is screened and there is always a lizard in there. Not sure how he gets in but I wanted a sliding screen door as an extra barrier. I have a sliding glass door on the side of the house and that has a sliding screen door. Even with that, lizards get in between the screen and the glass. There is about a one inch gap at the top and bottom of the rubber seal on the screen door and I think that is how they are getting in. I called the warranty department and they sent someone out who said there is nothing they can do to close the gap. It seems to me that there should be a solution-screen doors should not have gaps that allow frogs and lizards into the house.

So this works with the lani sliding glass doors that both open away from each other? It is just sitting on the tracks and does not attach to anything? In essence covers the opening? What do you do with the door when you close the doors?
