2. Do your doors ship pre-hung?
No. Pre-hanging our doors would be a disadvantage to the installer. Our universal installation kit provides much greater freedom and flexibility over a pre-hung door because the same door can be installed in or out-swing, right or left handed. Width and height is also adjustable.
3. Do I have to pay sales tax on my order?
No! That's the beauty of buying online! Well, that and delivery right to your front door or job site.
4. Do your screen doors have glass?
Our screen doors were designed to provide maximum ventilation and thus do not have glass. In many cases a storm door will void the entry door warranty. With new construction advances allowing for more natural light to enter homes a storm door with glass is no longer required.
5. What is your "Thru-Lock System"™?
In simple terms, the “Thru-Lock System”™ allows a vertical ¾"x ¾"
aluminum picket to "pass-thru" a horizontal ¾"x ¾" aluminum picket. This system provides additional strength to our doors by doubling wall thickness at critical junctions (where the two pickets intersect), while at the same time maintaining a streamlined appearance.
No More:
• Unsightly cross member welds that crack or break over time
• Riveted cross members that come loose and do not hold the door integrity tight
• Notched out cross members are not as strong do not maintain a cohesive structure
6. Do you offer custom sizes?
Yes! Please visit our
custom aluminum screen doors section for more information.
7. Is there an up-charge for over-sized screen doors?
There is a slight up-charge for any doors that exceed 116 united inches. Please visit our
custom aluminum screen doors section for more information.
8. How many colors do you offer?
We offer 5 powder coated finishes: white, bronze, ivory, sandstone and clay. Please visit our
powder coat finish section for more information.

When ordering a french door system, factor in a one (1) inch width for the astragal. Example: If two 36" doors are ordered, the rough opening should be 73" (2 x 36" plus 1").
