A Covered Balcony Slider In San Diego Finally Gets A Screen That Works

A homeowner in San Diego had a covered balcony slider that needed a screen — not a clunky track-mounted panel that fights you every time you use it, but something that actually fits the opening and stays out of the way when it is not needed. We installed a retractable screen door sized to the exact frame, with a long pull black housing that matches the door hardware.

The screen glides across smoothly with a single pull and retracts completely when not in use. Black was the right call here — clean against the door frame, nothing to notice. The mesh is stiff enough to stay flat across the full width of the slider without bowing, which matters on a wider opening. Bugs stay out. The breeze comes through. The homeowner stopped wrestling with the old sliding panel.

If you have a slider or entry door that needs a screen that disappears when you do not need it, get a free estimate and we will measure the opening exactly.
