Screen Door Guards
For Your Porch Screen Door

Screen door guards not only protect your screen, but also can save you repair time. Who hasn't pushed on a porch screen door's screen at some point?

We know our kids and grand kids have pushed on our doors more than a time or two! Screen door guards come in a variety of options to solve your specific screen door issue, whether it be inattentive adults, children, or your favorite pet.

Screen door guards help protect your screen, keep it looking great and can save you the expense of re-screening your porch screen door.

 It's just natural for kids to push on the screen due to their size and pets can wreak havoc jumping and scratching on your screen door. The solution is a door guard. Depending on your specific issue, there are several types to consider.


Screen Door Guard Options

Screen Door Grilles

Typical Screen Door Grille Protector - (Amazon affiliate link)
 Many are maintenance-free grille and are made of close weave aluminum mesh along with an extruded aluminum frame.

These are made for both sliding screen doors and swinging screen doors. They are usually made from heavy duty steel or aluminum for longer life. They attach to the door frame, allow air flow, and usually do not detract from the view.

Based on reviews, make sure you purchase one that is well constructed and durable to last a long time. Some issues have been that over time, the grill work bends and has to be replaced. Spending a little extra for added strength may be to your overall benefit.

Screen Door Push Bars

 Push bars like the one shown above, may fit doors up to 36 inches wide (larger ones may be available). Many can also be reduced in width to fit narrower doors. Usually made from aluminum to resist corrosion.

These may not be a suitable solution for small children as they may not be able to reach the bar.

They attach to the frame and come in a variety of styles and sizes. Some have a single bar while others may have three or four.


Screen Door Shields

Door shields can be used on either solid or screen doors and are mostly designed to keep pets from scratching or tearing the material.

Screen Door Saver Magnets

Screen door magnets are an easy way to protect your screens from being pressed out of shape or dislodged from their frames. You can easily attach them to your screens for a visual reminder to use the door handle or frame, not the screen, to enter or exit the room.
