Name: Door Axis 36 in x 80 in Aluminum Retractable Entry Screen Door, Universal Handed
Brand: Door Axis
SKU: DA-DR-SCR-RET-ALU-3680-WH

The Door Axis Aluminum Retractable Entry Screen Door mounts to the frame of a hinged entry door and glides across the opening when you want fresh air, then retracts into its slim housing and disappears when you do not. It serves homeowners who want screened airflow at the front or back door without a second swinging door covering their entry.

The housing and guide rails are aluminum with reinforced corners, and the cassette mounts directly to the face of the entry door frame with screw flanges extending into the opening, installing in about 30 minutes with basic tools and no cutting. Single door units adjust to fit inswing openings from 31-7/8 to 36-3/8 in wide, and double door units span 68 to 72 in French entries with a screen panel from each side. The screen glides quietly under controlled tension, so it never slams back, and the color-matched slim handle carries a locking night latch. The unit installs left or right handed, and six housing finishes cover white through black. This platform fits hinged inswing entry doors only; sliding patio doors use the Door Axis sliding patio screen instead.

Installation instructions

Installation Notes

Measure the entry opening width and height at three points each; singles adjust across 31-7/8 to 36-3/8 in openings and doubles across 68 to 72 in.
Check the mounting surface: the entry door frame or trim face must be flat and sound where the housing and rails land, with the screw flanges extending into the opening.
Choose the housing side (left or right handed) so the screen pulls across in the direction that suits traffic; doubles meet in the middle.
Install the top and bottom rails square to each other so the screen tracks evenly, then test the controlled retraction through several cycles.
Set the night latch strike so the screen locks closed without deflecting the rail.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this fit my door?
Single units fit hinged inswing entry doors with openings 31-7/8 to 36-3/8 in wide; double units span 68 to 72 in French entries. It does not fit sliding patio doors, which use the Door Axis sliding patio screen instead.

Where does the screen go when it is open?
The mesh rolls into the slim vertical housing mounted at one side of the frame. The opening stays completely clear and the entry keeps its original look.

Can the screen slam shut?
No. The retraction is speed controlled, so the screen glides back into its housing quietly instead of snapping.

Is it hard to install?
Most installations take about 30 minutes with basic tools and no cutting. The housing and rails mount to the frame face with the included hardware, left or right handed.
