In the tree-lined Fair Oaks neighborhood of Sacramento, a homeowner recently reached out with one request: find a screen door that wouldn't block the view, wouldn't bang shut, and would let in the breeze — not the bugs. The answer? A retractable back long pull screen from Apollo.

The customer wanted an easy-to-use screen solution for a wide rear door leading from their kitchen to the backyard patio. Their top priorities were smooth operation, a clean look when not in use, and a reliable screen that could stand up to frequent daily use. After reviewing options, they chose Apollo for its solid build, better design, and no-slam closure.
One of our factory-trained technicians arrived on-site for a custom measure. Apollo screens aren’t off the shelf — each is cut to fit the opening perfectly.
The final installation was quick, clean, and seamless:
A custom-width long pull screen was mounted in a color-matched housing
Our signature metal ergonomic handle was added for a confident grip
The screen was aligned to glide smoothly and latch effortlessly
No slamming thanks to Apollo’s unique slow-close system
Breeze without the bugs – Keeps insects out while allowing full airflow
Invisible when not in use – Retracts completely into its side housing
No damage, no drama – Screen won’t slam or tangle with use
Smooth operation – Built to glide easily, even with one hand
Better built – Compared to other brands, Apollo stands out with more durable components and better looks
