Product Overview

This is the best sliding screen door you can find — out classing the competition with its unusual strength and durability. It is made of heavy duty extruded aluminum frame — compare to most flimsy and jam-prone screens that come standard with sliding doors. This DIY screen door kit includes 4 adjustable steel rollers, and a flush mount auto latch handle with lock: all hardware and rollers have a limited lifetime warranty. Each kit comes made-to-size with your choice of frame color, and optional mesh upgrade: we recommend super screen for increased durability — it is 3x stronger than fiberglass.

Our custom screen door locks are designed to fit doors installed on the OUTSIDE of your house. Allow 1/8" manufacturing tolerance.

Coastal package available: Stainless steel rollers, screws, and latch hardware is ideal for coastal climates where normal doors will rust and fail to operate.

Why Everyone Needs a Made-To-Order Screen Door

No door opening is the same size. Even “standard-size” door openings will have some variance due to installation and other factors. Choosing a made-to-size screen door will ensure it fits securely to keep insects out and smoothly slides open and closed – without jamming. You also can choose from a specialty mesh to get more value for your money and can choose from 6 standard colors (more custom colors) to match your home’s trim or door frame color.

Specialty Screen Mesh – Get More For Your Money

Standard fiberglass insect mesh offers basic insect protection. Specialty mesh provides more benefits to increase comfort, energy efficiency, durability, and more. Here are some of our most popular mesh types and what they can offer you:

BetterVue- Better outward visibility to enjoy your view
Super screen - more durability (3x stronger)
Pet screen - durability against pet-wear (7x stronger)
No-See-Um/Tiny Mesh (20 x 20) - smaller holes to keep out no-see-ums and tiny insects
Solar Screen - reduce heat, glare, and increase energy efficiency (90% also provides tiny mesh benefits.
Aluminum - increased durability

What Makes The Hercules Sliding Screen Door The Most Durable?

Its heavy-duty parts and design. The Samson is the best sliding screen door on the market because it is made from a dual-wall aluminum frame. When compared to standard screen doors with roll-form frames, the Samson’s frame won’t bend and become misshapen like these other doors. The Samson is constructed with highly durable screen mesh that is secured with flat spline which makes the screen harder to push out of the frame.

How Do You Reinforce A Sliding Screen Door?

Start with a heavy-duty screen door. The easiest way to have a strong screen door is to start with a door that is made of stronger materials and constructed with durability and strength in mind. The Samson is a heavy-duty aluminum screen door made to take the wear of pets, kids, and areas of high-traffic.

Great for salty hurricane prone coastal homes

Posted by Isabel on Nov 16th 2017

I live on Hatteras Island, aka 'Hurricane City'. Salty air and gale force winds are common. It's great for your health, not so much for screen doors. The wheels turn to rust or dust within 10 minutes of exposure. And the wind shreads screens. Very thankful for a screendoor that's "Hurricane-proof". Paid a lot, but has been a real blessing. Looking forward to replacing the others, and the window screens, too.

Great Door

Posted by Anish on Sep 5th 2017

I have using replacement doors from big box stores and they - right from the beginning - feel wobbly. This door is a higher quality. I bought the highest level one and assembled it myself - very easy. The only problem for me was the width. The height was perfect because I measured so carefully. Unfortunately I didn't measure the width as carefully so it doesn't quite close. Still way better than those other doors.

Door Screen

Posted by tomandjulie2020@yahoo.com on Aug 28th 2017

I had to replace my crappy universal screen sliding door, so I decided to buy this one, I choose the highest priced one they had, because I wanted excellent quality. I saved money by assembling the screen door my self. It had all the items I needed to complete the screen door, Pros: the door looks nice and is of good quality It does slide nice, I would buy from them again for another door.

The screen is very nice and sturdy. Easy to build and install, the dimensions were spot on as well.

This would be 5 stars but.....

Posted by David De Muth on Jun 26th 2017

The door itself was exactly as advertised. Cut exactly to my specs and extremely easy to assemble and spline for the screen. My only issue was with the latch. But it's a big deal for me. I have a 20 lb Maine Coon Cat that figured out how to open my last door so I needed something strong and secure. I'm not expecting this door to stop an intruder but I do need something that is secure when the door is closed. The door latch itself is very strong and built nicely. The hook part that attaches to the side jamb is a very soft metal that has a point that's supposed to keep the door shut. Unfortunately I can open this without using the spring loaded door latch. I'm thinking a redesign of the latch and hook should be looked at for a more secure design. If jiggling the door itself can open it then the whole point of it is mute.. I ended up going to home depot and getting a screw with a large head and shaving the head down to fit the door jamb while also allowing the door itself to slide past the latch and allowing the latch itself to hook the screw. The screw was cheap but the time it took to figure out what would work and fabricate it so the door latches 100% of the time took hours.... If anyone from metro would like photos of what I did please feel free to contact me and I'll send the finished result. Honestly though, the door is strong and well built..

Amazing quality!!

Posted by Don O. on Apr 13th 2017

Exceeded our expectations, worth the extra $$. And we also bought the pet screen on both hoping to avoid what happened to our old screens from our cat. Assembly was not difficult, videos helped a lot. Thank you!
