    I don’t need one of these but I watched anyway. I like this man’s way of explaining his how to videos. I saw his toilet flapper video, also for no reason, and his 2” blind fix video which is the one that helped me fix my blinds. Straight and to the point with no BS comedy routine. I like that! 👍🏼

    Folding the extra over on the sides was brilliant!!!! After I ordered one (and had it hanging around uninstalled for almost 2 months), I realized our back door is not as wide as the front door.....wondering what to do? And then you solved the problem perfectly! Thank you so much for the video! Also, applies the velcro to the door frame, as you demonstrated, instead of to the screen door, then apply it all to the frame like the company instructions suggested. Much better idea!

    I have one in my RV. It is great for letting my dog go in and out as he pleases. It also lets less mosquitoes in because it hugs your body and has less open space that a normal screen door when going in and out.
    My first one lasted two years. I just finished installing my new one today. I advise not letting it quite touch the ground, or you will wear a hole in the hem and the magnets that hold the flaps together will fall out.

    I watched the installation video from the official website/channel first. The camera was constantly out of focus and they had comments turned off which is a terrible thing in these types of videos because I imagine if the comments were on, someone would have suggested using the velcro as an easy means of securing it while tacking. Great video man. Much better than the official one.

I have been procrastinating on installing my screen for a bit now because I wasn’t sure about what to do where my “double doors” are shorter than the length of the screen. After I watched your video, I saw how yours came out when you hemmed the sides (it didn’t look so bad) so, I’m going to attempt installing mine now 🤪. Keep your fingers crossed for me! Also, I loved the idea of using the Velcro and the tacks for extra reinforcement. The more secure, the better your door, I guess lol. Thanks again, Smilez~

    The tacks are meant to hold the Velcro to the door jam, not to hold the screen, that’s what the Velcro does. Put the first strip of Velcro, tack it in place then Velcro the screen over the tacks, that way the screen is removable. If you nail the screen to the door frame it’s not removable without pulling all the tacks.

      Mine came with tacks and velcro. The instructions said that the velcro was for metal framed doors and the tacks for wooden framed doors. I imagine the velcro would hold well enough as long as you don‘t have any kids or something pulling on the screen. Only reason I used the velcro at the top of the door was just to help make it easier to install since I didn‘t have someone to help at the time.
