Case Study: Custom Double Retractable Screen Installation in Escondido, CA

Introduction

A breeze without bugs — that was the goal for this homeowner in Escondido, CA. They wanted fresh air to flow through their double front doors without sacrificing the clean look of their entryway. The solution? A custom-measured double retractable screen door from Apollo.

Project Overview

This project involved a front entry with double doors — a classic setup that can be tricky for traditional screen doors. The homeowner wanted something that would blend with the home’s appearance, provide easy access, and not clutter the doorway when not in use.

We recommended a double retractable screen system, one of Apollo’s most requested options for double-door entries. This setup allows both doors to function independently, and the screens vanish completely when not in use.

Installation Process

Our factory-trained technician arrived at the Escondido home to take precise measurements and ensure a perfect fit.

• We installed two retractable screens, one on each side of the door frame.
• The screens meet in the middle with magnetic closure, making it easy to open one side or both.
• The color chosen was a soft bronze tone that matched the door hardware and frame.
• We finished the job in just a few hours with zero disruption to the homeowner’s day.

Benefits Realized

• Clear View When Not in Use: The screens disappear into their slim housings. No bulky frames.
• No Slamming: Apollo’s patented smooth-close system keeps things quiet and controlled.
• Ergonomic Handle: Metal handle adds durability and comfort.
• Custom Fit: Built to match the exact door dimensions — no gaps, no rattling.
• Insect Protection: Keeps bugs out while letting in airflow.

Conclusion

The Escondido homeowner now enjoys airflow through both front doors without worrying about pests or disrupting the home’s appearance. When the screens aren’t needed, they’re completely out of sight.
