[quote=LAAFTERHOURS][quote=flu]If your door is a standard size, you can find them at Home Depot. At least last time I checked. Quality wasn’t as good, but they were cheap.
Just go to home depot and search for retractable screen. Prices are under $180/screen. You do get what you pay for though.[/quote]
As I noted above – I have 8 foot doors so Home depot/ Lowes wont work.[/quote]
Tall is 97.25″ when assembled.. *Might* work, unless your door isn’t exactly 8ft (8’+something and something or less than 8 and something), which then you would need to go custom….I guess my question should have been rephrased: “are you sure it’s really exactly 8′?”

You can also buy direct from ODL, plus shipping from out of all places Amazon.com, LOL
I believe they are a Michigan company. Wonder though where they are made (I doubt USA)..
It was harder to replace older closet doors with mirrored ones, and redoing the tracks than to do something like this (and that is not hard either, just need to undo the carpet to and install a harder base to put the lower track rail so it’s study)..
And the mechanism isn’t going to be an issue..The issue will be if someone accidentally pokes a hole in the screen…
