Magnetic Fly Curtain Screen Door (120x200cm, White) for Keeping Out Flies & Bugs

If you’re fed up with flies getting in every time a door opens, a magnetic fly screen can feel like a simple fix. This magnetic fly curtain is designed to let you pass through easily, then close back quietly behind you—so you don’t have to faff with zips or constant adjustments.

That said, it’s not the same as a rigid, professionally fitted screen door. On paper it’s a practical “quick barrier” for everyday spaces, and whether it feels effortless will depend a lot on how your doorway sits and how careful you are with the fitting.

The essentials

This product is a fly screen “curtain” style door with a magnetic closing mechanism. The idea is straightforward: powerful magnets help it open quickly when you walk through, then it closes automatically and quietly behind you. Because it’s a net, it’s meant to keep insects out while still letting fresh air through.

It’s also positioned as a drill-free option. You can attach it using adhesive strips (supplied) for a hassle-free setup, and if you’re fitting to a wooden door you can also use the supplied nails. When you don’t need it—say, when seasons change—the fly curtain can be disassembled and folded for storage.

Where it shines day to day

The best bit about magnetic fly screens is the “hands full” factor. In real life, you’re often carrying shopping, pushing a pram, or juggling keys—so being able to simply walk through (without holding the screen open) is the point.

Over the door net, the design is made to let you get fresh air and sunshine without flies hovering around the entrance. The product description also notes that it can be used in homes with cats and dogs, with the barrier allowing airflow while still being a deterrent for insects.

A practical example: on a warm evening, you open a balcony or French door to let the room cool down. Instead of holding the door closed to keep bugs out, the magnetic screen gives you a way to keep insects out while the door stays usable.

The fit and size logic you should check

This one is supplied in a 120x200cm size (white). What matters is how it lines up with your door opening.

The guidance included in the description is based on curtain overlap: - The width of the door hanging should be at least the width of the inner door frame plus 8 cm. - The length of the door curtain should be at least the length of the inner door frame plus 6 cm.

If you choose a size that’s too tight, you may lose some effectiveness at the edges. If you size it correctly, you’re more likely to get that “open and close seamlessly” behaviour the system is designed for.

Installation without drilling (and the limits of that approach)

The magnetic fly curtain can be attached or removed without drilling, using adhesive strips (included). That’s a big advantage if you’re renting or you simply don’t want to get tools out.

At the same time, adhesive-based fittings can be a little sensitive to the mounting surface and how stable the area is over time. If your door frame isn’t a good match for adhesive or it’s frequently exposed to moisture and heavy temperature swings, you might find it needs more attention than a permanently fitted screen.

The description also mentions two routes: - Adhesive strips for quick attaching/removing - Supplied nails for use on wooden doors

Who it suits (and who may want to skip it)

It’s a solid pick if you want a convenient insect mesh solution for areas like balcony doors, bedrooms, kitchens, children’s rooms, patio doors, outdoor doors, entrance doors, courtyards, garages, or various French doors and sliding doors. In other words: it’s aimed at homes that need airflow, but can’t stand flies and other bugs.

It might not be the best match if you’re expecting the look and rigidity of a traditional hinged screen door. This is a net/curtain approach, so it’s more about function and flexibility than a hard, precision-made barrier. If your doorway is awkward in shape or your door opening doesn’t allow the curtain to sit properly, you may feel it’s more effort than it’s worth.

Quick practical tips for getting the best results

To avoid frustration, it helps to treat this like a “measure twice, hang once” project. Before you stick anything down, confirm the overlap guidance (width + 8 cm, length + 6 cm). Then, when fitting, keep the top edge aligned so the magnets can do their job properly.

Also consider how you’ll use the space. If the door gets a lot of daily traffic, the magnetic opening and automatic quiet closing is where you’ll notice the value. If the door is only used occasionally, the adhesive approach can still work—but you may question whether it’s worth setting up in the first place.

Final verdict

Buy this magnetic fly curtain screen door if you want a drill-free, everyday-friendly way to keep flies and bugs out while still letting fresh air in, and you’re happy to match the size to your door frame overlap properly.

You may want to skip it if you’re after a rigid, permanent screen solution, or if your doorway is hard to fit cleanly—because magnetic net curtains tend to be at their best when the edges are well covered.
