or Give us a Call
Product Summary
Screen Tight vinyl screen doors have a stylish classical appearance with a durable finish that resists scratches, dents and will not splinter, warp, or twist.
Sizes available: 30", 32" & 36" wide by 80" high. Screen Doors are available in the color white.
Construction and Materials
Screen Tight offers a durable and reliable screen door system designed for ease of installation and long-lasting performance. The construction prioritizes a robust yet lightweight frame, ensuring stability and preventing sagging over time.
The primary materials used in the Screen Tight door system are:
- Frame: Extruded aluminum is utilized for the door frame. This material choice provides excellent strength-to-weight ratio, making the door resistant to bending and warping, while remaining manageable for installation. The aluminum is typically finished with a powder coating for added protection against corrosion and weathering.
- Screen Mesh: The standard screen mesh is fiberglass. This material is known for its flexibility, durability, and resistance to rust and stains. It offers good visibility and airflow.
- Fasteners: Stainless steel screws are incorporated into the assembly. Stainless steel is chosen for its superior resistance to rust and corrosion, ensuring the integrity of the door's construction even in outdoor environments exposed to moisture.
- Hardware: While specific hardware materials may vary by kit, common components like hinges and latches are often constructed from durable metals, designed to withstand regular use and outdoor conditions.
The unique construction of Screen Tight doors involves a patented system that uses interlocking vinyl strips to hold the screen mesh securely in place. This eliminates the need for traditional spline channels and staples, which can be prone to failure. The frame is assembled, and then the screen mesh is laid over the frame. The vinyl strips are then pressed into channels around the perimeter of the frame, stretching and securing the screen tautly. This method creates a clean, professional-looking finish and a highly durable screen that is less likely to tear or detach.
Features and Benefits
Screen Tight offers a robust solution for exterior doors with their innovative screen system. Designed for both storm doors and screen doors, this system provides a durable and aesthetically pleasing way to maintain the functionality and appearance of your entryways. The core advantage of the Screen Tight system lies in its unique method of holding screen material securely and evenly, eliminating the need for cumbersome traditional spline methods.
This system is engineered for ease of installation and maintenance. It utilizes a patented snap-fit design that clamps the screening material firmly in place, creating a taut and professional finish. This not only enhances the visual appeal of your doors but also contributes to their overall longevity by preventing sagging and premature wear of the screen.

Frame Options

- Glass Panel Inserts: These are typically single-pane glass inserts that can be used in conjunction with screen inserts or as a standalone option. They are ideal for maximizing natural light and offering a clear view of the outdoors. The glass used is generally standard tempered glass for safety.
- Full View Glass: Some models may offer a full-view glass option, meaning the entire door panel is comprised of glass. This provides an unobstructed panoramic view and allows for maximum light transmission. These are often designed with a frame that holds the glass securely.
- Interchangeable Glass and Screen: A key feature of many Screen Tight storm doors is the ability to easily interchange glass panels with screen panels. This allows you to transition from a closed, protected entryway with glass to an open, ventilated space with a screen with minimal effort. This system often involves a specific track or channel within the door frame that accommodates both types of inserts.
Additional Information Regarding Glass:
