What our solar screen sliding door and sliding screen door pocket Framing is made out of.

Our sliding solar screen doors are made out of extremely heavy duty aluminum, the framing is made out of a very heavy duty aluminum, considerably heavier duty than what you get from the sliding door manufacturer.  The size of the framing is 1/2″ x 1-5/8″ thick.  I have yet to see a sliding door from a sliding door manufacturer that is more robust, stronger or heavier-duty than what we provide.

How well will your solar screen sliding door and sliding screen door pocket fit?

We will make the sliding door fit so well that it will slide with ease but will not come out of its tracks on its own . Over all of these years I never get calls from people with problems with their sliding door screens, and I know it is because I install them to fit so tightly that there’s no room for them to come out of the tracks .

I take that back one time I did get a call, and I was told by the owners that one of their children had kicked the sliding door screen out , and it was obvious whenever I saw the sliding door. I saw the bottom roller bent and broken and it was obvious that it got pushed out . Point being whenever I install these things I install them extremely well and I install them to last.
