Another Approach... Install two 3'x6' staionary double paine fixed windows on each side of a 3'x 6'8" inswing double paine lighted door. Be sure you lay it out, so that the tops of all the glass revreals are at the same elevation. But what would I know? I have only been a carpenter for 54 years and still learn something new each day. Very Satisfying. ++C++

Phantom retractable screen doors open when someone or a pet, walk/run into them. I installed them in my house in 2001 and can't count the number of times that someone has walked into them them. Still working great and no screen damage. I think I paid $250.00 per when I bought them and they can be made to order. I installed 42" doors for ease of moving things in or out, best money I ever spent. There are many knock off's and can't say how they fare but you usually get what you pay for. ;D :biggrin:

Phantom screens are great, you don't see them, my Dog has gone thru them twice, fortunetely I was able to repair them back to pretty much new, I now have the trick down, I put in front of the screen door a ice chest or crate of some kind, at least you stop someone or a Dog from going thru it, they are very nice except for the problem of not seeing it.

Well, that won't work for me...not for long anyway. I'm gettin' so old and ugly, my next girlfriend will have to be blind. It'll be a full time job keeping her untangled from one of those things. My commercial fishing days are over.
