Case Study: Clean Look, Smooth Operation – Retractable Screen for a Back Entrance in Oceanside, CA

Introduction

In Oceanside, California, where the weather practically begs you to open the doors and let the breeze in, one homeowner wanted to make better use of their back entrance without inviting in bugs. We installed a single front-style retractable screen door in crisp white, fitted with our signature long pull handle — the perfect solution for this home’s busy back entry.

Project Overview

The client requested a screen that wouldn’t slam shut, would hold up to everyday traffic, and would look clean against a white door frame. They also wanted something easy for guests to operate, including older family members. Our retractable screen door checked every box — custom-sized, low-profile, and built to last.

Installation Process

As always, we started with exact measurements taken on-site to ensure a flawless fit.

  • We installed a white frame to match the door trim, giving it a seamless finish.

  • The long pull handle was chosen for both comfort and function — it’s easy to grip and adds a little something extra to the doorway.

  • With our soft-close system, the screen door retracts smoothly and quietly — no slamming, no tugging.

The install was completed in under an hour by our factory-trained technician, with zero disruption to the homeowner’s day.

Benefits Realized

  • Fresh Air Without Bugs: The screen lets in the breeze, not the insects.

  • Discreet When Not in Use: The screen disappears into its housing when not needed.

  • Built to Handle Everyday Use: Durable materials and custom fit make it a long-term solution.

  • Comfortable to Use: The ergonomic long pull handle makes opening and closing a breeze.

  • Clean, Modern Appearance: Matches the door frame without drawing too much attention.
