We like this magnetic screen door. Very satisfied.

Replaced the screen on the screened in section of our back porch. Also needed to replace the screen door however; we choose to put up the magnetic screen door instead. I cleaned the surface before applying the glue strips and still had some challenges with the glued areas

Pros
  • The screen mesh is made of durable and high-quality material, ensuring it lasts for years and provides excellent value for money
Cons
  • The magnets may interfere with certain electronic devices.

Works great, as advertised

We are very happy with our screen. We live in a Manhattan hi-rise (12th floor) with a balcony and sliding door. We rarely use the A/C except on the very hottest days, preferring to keep our windows and sliding door open (we live on a windy corner in a corner unit so plenty of cross-ventilation). Unfortunately, we often have mosquitos in the summer months and kids that are highly allergic to mosquito bites -- this helped solve our mosquito problem. We have had the screen up for about 8 months…

Pros
  • With the IKSTAR mosquito net, you'll enjoy a cool breeze through your home without worrying about insects and bugs
Cons
  • It may not work well with doors that swing both inward and outward.

Works great! Holds up great! Perfect for my dog!

Honestly this thing is amazing. Does what it's supposed to. Easy instructions. I use it on a glass sliding door that's a little shorter than the product but even with it on the ground it still seals up nicely. I have even thought about "hemming" the bottom if I feel inclined but don't have to. If you have a lot of crawlers, my situation may not work but it keeps the flying guys out.Animal use: I have a small 20lb dog that's crazy but paws at it gently if she's not sure where the opening

Pros
  • Overall happy with quality and ease of install
Cons
  • It may not be as durable as other screen doors.

Good product - Does snap together after adjustment

This is the only screen door solution for extra tall or wide door ways, that doesn't cost a fortune. Mesh is of good quality, and everything you need to install is included, aside from possibly a ladder and scissors to cut velcro stripping (if you chose to use velcro instead of the tacks). I installed this on a (inside of door frame measurement) 36" W x 96" tall door and there are just enough margin on either side of the door way to run a strip of the included velcro striping and has…

Pros
  • Good solution for letting pets go out without bugs coming in.
Cons
  • It is not suitable for windows.

Order one size bigger

It works for keeping bugs out, and it makes it easy for our dog to come in and out on the balcony. It’s easy to install, but you’ll need to use the tacks. Overtime, the glue wears off and it falls down on the top. Not very durable at all in that sense.

Pros
  • The magnetic screen door from IKSTAR is perfect for homes that want to enjoy bug-free outdoors without compromising their home's aesthetics
Cons
  • It may be difficult to find a suitable replacement if the product is discontinued

Dog loves it! for my opinion

Took the puppy 1 day to figure it out. She loves the freedom to go outside on her own. Perfect in the evening when there’s a breeze but you don’t want bugs inside. Easy to install. I was hesitant about the adhesive strips working, but they are strong.

Pros
  • Have been buying these for the last few years. This is def one of the better quality mesh I’ve seen!
Cons
  • It may not provide enough ventilation for some users.

WORKS AS DESIGNED good for me

I buy one every year. $20 is not much to replace something that keeps flies out. This one, however, has lace at the top of it and I hate that particular part. Better luck next time.

Pros
  • The screen mesh is retractable and won't obstruct your view, providing a clear view of the outdoors while keeping your home secure from insects and bugs
Cons
  • It may not be suitable for door frames with uneven surfaces.

Still let's light, rain, bugs through.

Disappointed I thought I'd purchased the heavy duty, light filtering screen but this is very flimsy and non filtering. hasn't ripped yet though.

Pros
  • Easy to put up, magnets are strong, adhesive is strong. Going on 1 year up and still works perfectly
Cons
  • The magnets may not always align properly, causing gaps where bugs can enter.

Love this door! for my opinion

We got this because our kids can never remember to shut the door. I love everything about it! We nailed ours up on our house, but had it up in less than 15 minutes. It's held up to our dogs, cats, kids, and a major blizzard.

Pros
  • The screen mesh is durable and weather-resistant, ensuring it can withstand all kinds of weather conditions, including rain, wind, and snow
Cons
  • It may be difficult to clean the mesh if it becomes stained or dirty.

Installed by myself

I installed this by myself- I had a step ladder and I didn’t need a second pair of hands. It was fairly easy and the curtain seems to be holding up well. The heat hasn’t melted the glue.

Pros
  • Doors
Cons
  • It may be too large or bulky for some door frames.

Pet durability in my review

This is not one of those easily broken mesh doorway screens. I’ve had this for a few months and my dogs have still yet to break it no matter how hard they run through it. The magnets cover almost the entire seem so it always snaps back into place and keeps the bugs out without having to readjust it. It went up easily and just overall feels/looks like a quality product. I can’t imagine I’ll ever have to buy another and have recommended to many friends with pets. Top product!

Pros
  • It provides peace of mind knowing that your loved ones are safe and protected from bugs and other flying pests
Cons
  • It may be difficult to find a suitable replacement mesh once the original wears out.

Easy install.: my feedback

Super easy to install, seems to be holding well.Has a weird lace detail that seems unnecessary but doesn’t affect functioning.Good buy overall.

Pros
  • It provides a safer and more comfortable environment for people with allergies, keeping out pollen, dust, and dirt
Cons
  • The magnets may make a loud noise when the door closes.

Do not use with steel doors.

Very easy to put up and looks great with the lace. This is nice to use when you want a breeze to blow. Will keep mosquitos out.

Pros
  • You can install it on patio doors, entryways, and garage doors, helping you keep your home bug-free from every angle
Cons
  • It may be difficult to disassemble and store during cold months.

Wonderful product good for me

Absolutely love, order 2 additional; 1 for my sister and 1 for my brother n law front screen door they also love it. perfect fit and great elegant look when tied back

Pros
  • It is perfect for use in homes that lack proper ventilation, ensuring good quality air inside your home
Cons
  • It may require frequent maintenance to ensure the magnets are working properly.

Magnets became unaligned

This review is a little late. I started experiencing this issue probably less than a year of owning it. Part of the magnets became unaligned over time and created a space in the screen that allow bugs to come in at night. I've attached a picture of how it currently looks now. I've been thinking of putting the original sliding screen door back on. I probably should've contacted them sooner to see if I could get a replacement, but it is what it is.

Pros
  • The screen door is sturdy and durable, ensuring it can withstand heavy use and provides excellent value for money
Cons
  • The mesh may not provide enough protection against airborne allergens.

Ripped in 2 weeks and adhesive started coming off!

Wanted to love it from some reviews….Went up quick as previous screens did. Looked great (for about 2 weeks). Our little dogs tore the bottom stitching around the boarder off with ease. Also the Velcro adhesive started coming off from the top which made it useless in 2 weeks. On the the next brand.

Pros
  • It really is indestructible. I’m amazed.
Cons
  • It may not fit all door frames.

Worth the money - my new review

We bought this for our patio doors, and absolutely love it. We were skeptical that it would actually work, but it does. It took less that 10 mins to install and was super easy!

Pros
  • Building Materials
Cons
  • The mesh may not be strong enough to prevent pets from scratching through it.

Works for my dog on my review.

I wanted something to keep the bugs out when i let my dog in and out and this does just that. I left the bottom portion of the screen unsecured in order to work like a doggy flap for when i didnt open the door all the way.Installation:At first i thought the Velcro was stripped off into the right lengths but its not so make sure you check how long you need to cut it for your purposes.I didn’t clean the wall before installation and i installed it outside and it still adhered. Its been up since…

Pros
  • The screen door is eco-friendly and doesn't produce any harmful emissions, making your home healthier and safer to live in
Cons
  • It may not be suitable for use in areas with high levels of rain or snow.
