Seeing you slide the rails was so helpful. Their instructions and even the app they have was NO help in figuring out how the top and bottom rails slid in.
The reason why all 4 corners dont lock with that pin is so you can adjust to different door widths. I thought I did it wrong at first, then realized that it would not extend if I needed it to. Helpful video.
This was helpful, but you miss one important thing. The bottom rail: you need a board under it or it will collapse the whole unit. People walk on the edge as a habit. It cannot support that much weight
Looks like he has a step supporting it, but yes, it does mention in instructions to have something that the unit is resting on, like the floor, a step that come level with the door sill...Or if it is a step down from the sill, and your sill is flush, or a very short lip, you will need a support piece added. I would recommend a PVC type piece, like floor decking or something with strength and thickness so so you dont have to worry about painting it or water rot and such.
I can see that if it is an outside door that the trim will have to be ripped off, repurchased and replaced where it covers the side of the house and door jam. This screen is nice but it is deigned to be used where the siding bumps up against the door jam without trim casing. I elected to put furring strips inside the jamb rather than tear off my casing. Also, to make it easier to insert the cross pieces top and bottom just loosen the screws.
Ok, hears a hint this is very easy to install. The worst part was the tracks. Losen the screws on the top and bottom just a bit, then they slid right in
Love your dog! He's like hey dad I want to help. Do you want to play ball? Lol. First one took you an hour and second one a half hour. The next one would have been 15 minutes.
Thank you about Pudge, the dog. He always wants to help and lick my face when I'm trying to work on something. Also, yes ball, all the time no one is safe from avoiding that. How do you like them? (The screens, not balls)
@@TH4TU53RN4M3TH0REVIEWS I really enjoy the Genius Retractable Screen Doors. The Brisa style only fits on the outside of the frame. I like the Milano retractable screen door best cause you can install it inside of the door frame.
@@basiawill1023 Keep in mind that only 2 corners will lock in. This is so the other 2 corners can extend to fit the width of the opening. So it feels like it didn't go in right, as 2 of them will not lock in.
Yes, you can cut the bottom plate, and the rest will sit over the openning. So you have to order as close to size standard as possible, and then the bottom can be notched in . I wish the retractability was smoother and better made to operate. Its actually very flimsy, and the guides are not very good. I think for the price I paid for a double door screen was about 400-500? I forget, but its more like a 150-200 $ item. BUT, there is a void in the market. We used a magnetic one for a couple years, and those get weathered and wear out. But they are $20! lol . also not easy to stick on stucco, so I nailed them in, and its not ideal . So we got this, and it does a decent job, but its way over priced. But maybe if they are the only makers, I would buy again. Hope that helps. @@micheleritchie-harris3453

This is the only video that explained the rails. Thank you!
This made it very easy and understandable to install I did have trouble getting though second Rail in
Great video, If going into a concrete frame, would you swap out screws? What size?

Great video I am very happy with our retractable screen door .
I had to watch your video and another guys channel to figure this out. But nevertheless, I got my screen up.
Thank you for posting.
what other channel? I'm having such a hard time sliding the bottom rail in
@@pamelabrodsky3355
That was my biggest hurdle. Yes no one shows it up close what you have to do. Did get it though? It’s been 2 hours
if the size is too long or too wide can it be adjust?

Could this fit an interior door to keep a cat out
I found it kinda tricky to, as the directions say, "just slide the rail into place".
Saw you at Family Fare Today. Cool to see a local youtuber!!!
Thank you for dropping a hello. Were you and your son looking at the car before loading up... maybe a couple spots to the right of the stinger?
@@TH4TU53RN4M3TH0REVIEWS Yea!! Blue Saturn View.
Lol we were walking out to the car as you were leaving then. 🤣
Beautiful dog inspector. Snoop doggie, doggie!
How is it holding up?

My door is 32x81
but the product measures 36x81
Will it fit my door ? Do the parts interlock for desired fit ?
Yes
Yes!
How do you install over an existing metal sill?
If the sill is sticking out, you just rest it on the sill. if flush and its a step out and down, you need a support piece. See comments above.
Does the face plate screw into existing door face plate?
The face has a channel with screw holes to screw in the door jam. See 5min in the video.
I can’t figure out how to get the gold damn bottom and top bars onto the frame
They are pretty tricky I tried to show the best assembly I could. The first one we put together was a son of a gun
The side with the screen went in like butter. It's the other side I'm having issues getting in

dog say ...what the hell? great video !
Not pet proof?
How is the width adjusted between 36" and 32"?
Only 2 corners lock. So it can extend or get narrower.

How did you replace the screen?
I'd call the MFG
I saw you at homedepot on sunday
Lol that is too funny. Love the local support for sure. Got some paint supplies for the basement. Did you see me or the car tho?
