K.D. Heavy Duty Aluminum Sliding Patio Screen Door Kit - 2.5" Frame Insect Proof for Patio Backyard Kitchen and Bedroom (Brown, 36''x80'')

Excellent product very well-madeheavy duty easy to assemble well worth the money will buy again

My home has 3 sliding doors on the back of the house and are located close to salt water. (1200 ft.) The original slider screen doors quickly corroded, making them difficult to use. I tried one of these doors almost 5 years ago and since then have also replaced the other 2 slider screens with this product. (The 3rd one just today.) They have held up well and were easy to assemble and install, assuming you have some DIY skills.

Was easy to assemble, had nice rollers, and is rather sturdy. Better than the one I bought from Lowes and returned. On the unintuitive side - The adjustment parts with rollers on the upper and lower sides are very wide (~4+ inches) when installed in the 82" door - what is the reason to specify different sizes? I expected more narrow frame extrusions. The Philips screws for assembly were impossible to screw in - used hex head screws instead. The door parts came in robust tube - but the edges on the ends of the frame parts were slightly bent - easy to fix with pliers. Overall, decent replacement door.

When ordering a kit like this, I rarely expect it to be pristine but I do expect that when I order a “new” kit, I get a new kit. However, I received a kit that was obviously opened before (see picture of one end “sealed” by two pieces of packing tape). Upon further inspection, I found one piece of the frame had a dent in it, package of screws had been ripped open, scratches on the paint of another piece of the frame, and the instructions were folded inside out (not that this part bothers me, it’s just another indicator that someone else had received this kit before me). As for the skills needed for putting the screen door together…moderate skills are needed. Having the right tools helps (I.e., long PH2 bit for drill driver, and one reg Philips screwdriver). When assembling the frame, use the standard Philips screwdriver to set the screw into the frame, then the drill driver to complete to process. Attach top and bottom pieces to one side piece first, then attach the other side piece. For the screen, I start at about 6” from one corner, working towards the closest corner. As you work the spline in, stretch it a bit as you work it to make it easier to push in with the roller. Work the roller slowly so it doesn’t jump out of the channel and potentially cut the screen. Frame of the screen door is sturdy. Wheels are a bit smaller than my older screen door but works well enough. Latch hardware is plastic so not expecting it to last long. I’ll probably look for 3rd party parts at some point. May also change the screen for one that is made for a house with pets. I would recommend this product but I can’t since I don’t want to recommend something where you might not get a “new” product.

This sliding screen door is excellent quality. It just took me an hour to assembly. The frame made of heavy duty metal, feels sturdy and the screen was easy to fit in fram with provided tool. Easy to install, fit perfectly, and glides effortlessly every time I open or close it. No rattling, no sticking—just smooth, quiet operation. I’m very happy with the durability and value for the price. Highly recommended.

It is nice that the height is adjustable, I need it to be 78 inches. The assembly is pretty simple, but one of the screw hole is stripped and only loosely holding its place. It uses two screws to lock that part of the frame in place, so lucky the 2nd screw was able to fasten tightly. Will see how it will hold up in the long term, as the overall frame is pretty sturdy. It took me 30 mins, as I had to redo it again to have the frame in reverse side due to alignment issue with my patio door. Because I reverse the side, the locking handle is not aligned, so it doesn't lock for me. Since I already assembled it, I don't want to deal with the hassle of taking it apart and shipping it back. The cost is pretty reasonable until you add the costly shipping. I do wish the shipping was done by Amazon, so it can be free. Overall, works for my need to have a screen door that can close and open to keep insects away.

This was a bit of a pain to assemble. As others have experienced, I ended up tearing the screen. I purchased a new roller and heavy duty screen locally and it turned out very well. It fits the door nicely and glides open and closed with ease. I recommend if you have the patience and basic mechanical skill as well as the necessary room to lay the door flat to install the screen.

It was pretty simple to put together l, just takes patience especially with the placement of the screen on the frame. Definitely need a long bit screwdriver with magnetic end so the screw goes into place easily. Once constructed it’s pretty easy to install. Patience is definitely the key but so worth it!
