K.D. Heavy Duty Aluminum Sliding Patio Screen Door Kit - 2.5" Frame Insect Proof for Patio Backyard Kitchen and Bedroom (Brown, 36''x80'')

Great quality and fit. Assembly was straight forward all parts fit and really looks great. Assembly and installation took about an hour. This screen door compared to original is a definite upgrade. Would recommend this 9 foot door.

This sliding screen door is excellent quality. It just took me an hour to assembly. The frame made of heavy duty metal, feels sturdy and the screen was easy to fit in fram with provided tool. Easy to install, fit perfectly, and glides effortlessly every time I open or close it. No rattling, no sticking—just smooth, quiet operation. I’m very happy with the durability and value for the price. Highly recommended.

Was easy to assemble, had nice rollers, and is rather sturdy. Better than the one I bought from Lowes and returned. On the unintuitive side - The adjustment parts with rollers on the upper and lower sides are very wide (~4+ inches) when installed in the 82" door - what is the reason to specify different sizes? I expected more narrow frame extrusions. The Philips screws for assembly were impossible to screw in - used hex head screws instead. The door parts came in robust tube - but the edges on the ends of the frame parts were slightly bent - easy to fix with pliers. Overall, decent replacement door.

When ordering a kit like this, I rarely expect it to be pristine but I do expect that when I order a “new” kit, I get a new kit. However, I received a kit that was obviously opened before (see picture of one end “sealed” by two pieces of packing tape). Upon further inspection, I found one piece of the frame had a dent in it, package of screws had been ripped open, scratches on the paint of another piece of the frame, and the instructions were folded inside out (not that this part bothers me, it’s just another indicator that someone else had received this kit before me). As for the skills needed for putting the screen door together…moderate skills are needed. Having the right tools helps (I.e., long PH2 bit for drill driver, and one reg Philips screwdriver). When assembling the frame, use the standard Philips screwdriver to set the screw into the frame, then the drill driver to complete to process. Attach top and bottom pieces to one side piece first, then attach the other side piece. For the screen, I start at about 6” from one corner, working towards the closest corner. As you work the spline in, stretch it a bit as you work it to make it easier to push in with the roller. Work the roller slowly so it doesn’t jump out of the channel and potentially cut the screen. Frame of the screen door is sturdy. Wheels are a bit smaller than my older screen door but works well enough. Latch hardware is plastic so not expecting it to last long. I’ll probably look for 3rd party parts at some point. May also change the screen for one that is made for a house with pets. I would recommend this product but I can’t since I don’t want to recommend something where you might not get a “new” product.

The sliding door is made of good quality material and was easy to assemble. It came with all the necessary material, including the tool to install the screen mesh. I also like how you can adjust it to the perfect height of your patio opening.

So, we were a bit nervous about having ordered a sliding screen door that was delivered in a long cardboard tube but ............ It took the better part of an hour for the two of us to put it together and it's definitely not a job for one person only because the various pieces are awkward to hold. Instructions were pretty clear and the end result looks great. It's much sturdier than the door that it replaced and it slides with zero resistance. Like others we were a bit concerned whether the screen would be tight but it is perfect. The ONLY thing that I would add as an important piece --- and one that can save you a lot of time - is to ensure that you have a NUMBER TWO screwdriver as the screws are all designed for that specific size. (How many folks even know that there are different size phillips screwdrivers?).

It is nice that the height is adjustable, I need it to be 78 inches. The assembly is pretty simple, but one of the screw hole is stripped and only loosely holding its place. It uses two screws to lock that part of the frame in place, so lucky the 2nd screw was able to fasten tightly. Will see how it will hold up in the long term, as the overall frame is pretty sturdy. It took me 30 mins, as I had to redo it again to have the frame in reverse side due to alignment issue with my patio door. Because I reverse the side, the locking handle is not aligned, so it doesn't lock for me. Since I already assembled it, I don't want to deal with the hassle of taking it apart and shipping it back. The cost is pretty reasonable until you add the costly shipping. I do wish the shipping was done by Amazon, so it can be free. Overall, works for my need to have a screen door that can close and open to keep insects away.

I hesitated buying this product because there were so many reviews on the screen ripping upon installation and incomprehensible instructions. Glad I didn't go off the reviews. I'm here to tell you (as a woman) how easy it is to construct this screen door. Probably the most challenging part for me was aligning it in my door frame, but this has nothing to do with the product or the instructions. If I could give any advice about the construction of the door, it would be not to stretch the screen so taught when installing it. It needs to be snug but not stretched thin. I would also like to add the frame is made of good quality metal. Better quality than the $99 screen doors you might find at your big box hardware stores. This is not a complaint but more of a wish...I would love to see this come in a tan color. I will be needing to paint mine, in the near future, to match my sliding glass door trim.
