Magnetic Fly Screen Door with Full-Length Magnetic Strip (80x200cm) – Black
Product description
Quick overview: what it’s for
If you’re tired of flies getting in the moment a door’s opened, a magnetic fly screen door can be a very practical fix. This one uses full-length magnetic strips running from top to bottom, so it’s designed to close quickly and evenly rather than relying on smaller, segmented magnets.
On paper, it’s aimed at busy households where you want fresh air to come through, but you also want a barrier that doesn’t leave obvious gaps. The centre opening is meant to help with hands-free passage for kids and pets, and it’s intended to automatically close behind you.
That said, a magnetic curtain isn’t magic: if the fit is off or the frame surface isn’t prepped properly, you may still get small problem areas around the edges. So it’s worth treating installation prep seriously.
Key points: where it stands out
The main differentiator here is the full-length magnetic closure. Instead of short magnet sections, the strips are intended to run the full height, which should help it seal more consistently each time the door opens.
A second strong point is the mesh material. The curtain is made from a fiberglass mesh described as tear-resistant, corrosion-resistant and fire-retardant. In plain terms, that combination is meant to help it cope with real-life door use in summer, when it’s constantly being opened and closed.
Finally, the fastening method is designed for long-term hold: a hook-and-loop tape with high-strength adhesive. The manufacturer guidance is fairly clear—clean and dry the door frame before fitting so the adhesive bonds properly over time, while still removing cleanly without residue.
What you’ll notice in everyday use
Using a magnetic fly screen curtain is usually all about two things: how smoothly it opens and how reliably it closes behind you.
This model is set up as a centre-opening fly screen door. In practice, that means you can slip through without having to lift anything—useful when you’re carrying something, or when kids and pets move in and out more than you’d like to think about.
It also includes a counterweight at the bottom, described as making it difficult to move under wind. That’s a sensible detail for patio doors, where breezes can otherwise keep a curtain slightly ajar.
There’s also an added reinforcement-line design aimed at protecting the top of the magnetic closure from ripping. If you’ve ever had a door net start to fray where it flexes most, that’s the sort of design choice you’ll appreciate after a few weeks of regular use.

Installation & fit: what to check before you buy
The biggest “don’t skip this” factor is measurement. The stated screen size is 80cm wide and 200cm tall, but it’s described as fitting a door frame with a 76cm max width and 198cm max height. That mismatch is exactly why the product description is explicit about measuring first.
Before installation, you’re also advised to fully clean and dry the door frame. That matters because the adhesive hook-and-loop tape is designed to bond stronger over time when the surface is properly prepared.
If you’re dealing with a frame that’s dusty, damp, or unevenly finished, you may find the bond isn’t as secure as it should be. And because it’s a snap-close magnetic system, a slightly off alignment can affect how neat the closure looks.
Durability and limitations to keep in mind
The fiberglass mesh is described as tear-resistant, corrosion-resistant and fire-retardant, and there’s a reinforcement line at the top of the closure. Those details point to a door curtain that’s intended for repeat daily use, not just occasional summer hosting.
However, it’s still a mesh curtain. If you expect something like a rigid door or a heavy-duty framed screen, you’ll likely be disappointed — this is a flexible barrier designed for easy opening and closing.
Also, magnetic fly screen doors can be less forgiving than traditional fixed screens if your household traffic is very fast and forceful, or if the door frame prep isn’t done properly.
Who it suits (and who should pause)
It makes sense if you want an easy patio or exterior door fly screen solution that lets fresh air through while blocking flies and insects, and you prefer hands-free movement.
You may want to skip it if your door frame is outside the stated fit range, or if you don’t want to do a thorough clean-and-dry prep for the adhesive tape. The product clearly leans on proper installation for performance.
If you’re the type who measures twice and preps surfaces properly, this should feel straightforward. If you’re rushing the job, it might be harder to get a neat seal every time.
Is it worth it?
Buy it if you need a door fly screen curtain with full-length magnetic closure (no gaps designed for insects to slip through), and you’re happy to follow the fitting steps—measure the frame, clean and dry the surface, then apply the hook-and-loop tape.
Don’t buy it if your door frame measurements don’t match the stated maximums, or if you want a rigid, “set and forget” screen. In those cases, a magnetic curtain’s flexibility and edge reliance could leave you frustrated.

It uses hook-and-loop tape with high-strength adhesive. For best results, you’re advised to fully clean and dry the door frame before installation so the bond strengthens over time.
Is it suitable for windy patio doors?
It includes a counterweight at the bottom to make it difficult to move under wind, but any magnetic curtain still benefits from correct fit.
