My husband and I moved into a new place last year. We didn’t realize when we moved, that we didn’t have screens on the windows, or doors. It’s a trailer house, and anyone who’s ever lived in one, know how the doors fall apart as well. The front door is in shambles, so we use the back door. We also have two very large dogs, so we can’t just open the door or window without screens. They’d be GONE chasing bunnies.
We decided we wanted to give a magnetic door a try. I know that the dogs can push through the bottom of them, but they are well trained, and if we keep them away from the door, or even safety pin the bottom of the door, where they can’t open it, we thought it might work.
I was sadly disappointed. I am sure this door is a great concept. However, for the life of us we COULD NOT get it to stick to the door. If we owned this place, we would have used staples or nails and done so. However, we don’t. Every time we THOUGHT we had it up. It would fall down. Unfortunately, because of this, I couldn’t tell how well it would work for us. I have walked through them at a friends house, so I know how they work.
The ones I have been through (obviously not my own since it wouldn’t stay up), actually work decent. They aren’t perfect. No one expects them to be. They open easy if you have full hands. They KIND OF fall back together like they are supposed to, but it only takes a second to fix it if it doesn’t. This keeps the bugs out while allowing air to come in. If you have animals that you let come in and out of the house, they can go and come as they please, as they can just walk through the door. I really wish ours would stay up.
Overall, the concept is great, and if you can find a door frame that it will stay up in, that’s fantastic, you will love it.
