Samson Heavy-Duty Sliding Screen Door Kit
Get Heavy-Duty Sliding Screen Door Performance in an Unassembled Kit
Get the same heavy-duty performance as the assembled Samson door in a convenient unassembled sliding screen door kit. Built with heavy-duty extruded aluminum and premium hardware, the Samson sliding screen door kit is designed for homeowners replacing flimsy, bent, or jam-prone patio screen doors with a stronger, long-term solution.
This heavy duty sliding screen door ships unassembled to help lower shipping costs and make delivery easy to handle without sacrificing quality. Each kit includes step-by-step instructions for DIY-friendly assembly along with sizing, custom frame colors, and specialty mesh options.
Why Choose the Samson Unassembled Sliding Screen Door?
Heavy-Duty Extruded Aluminum Frame
Unlike lightweight roll-form doors that can bend, flex, and wear out quickly, the Samson uses a heavy-duty extruded aluminum frame for added strength and durability. This custom sliding screen door kit is well suited for frequently used patio doors, homes with pets or children, and high-traffic outdoor spaces.
Smooth Rolling with Four Adjustable Steel Rollers
Four adjustable steel rollers help the door glide smoothly while allowing for fit adjustments after installation. This helps improve alignment and installation for your patio screen doors.
Flush-Mount Auto-Latch Handle for Secure Closure
The flush-mount auto-latch handle creates a cleaner appearance while keeping your door securely closed during everyday use.
Made-to-Size for a Better Patio Door Fit
No two patio door openings are exactly alike. Even "standard-size" doors can vary over time, and that's why the Samson is built as a made to size sliding screen door.
Custom sizing helps improve fit, reduce binding, and create smoother long-term operation. Before ordering your sliding screen door replacement, carefully measure your opening and select the exact width and height you need for your door.
Choose Frame Color, Mesh, and Coastal Hardware Options
Frame Color Options
Available frame colors include white, ivory, bronze, clay, sandstone, black, and unfinished mill. These finish options make it easier to coordinate your screen door with your patio door frame or exterior trim.
Specialty Mesh Choices
Choose the right specialty mesh for your project needs:
- BetterVue for improved outward visibility
- Super Screen for long-lasting durability
- Pet Screen for pet damage resistance
- No-See-Um Mesh for tiny insects
- Solar Screen for reducing heat and glare
- Aluminum Mesh for high-traffic areas
- Allergy Screen for pollen filtration (if available)
You can also request a sample before ordering to compare mesh options.
Coastal Package for Salty or High-Humidity Climates
The optional Coastal Package includes stainless steel rollers, screws, and latch hardware for coastal homes or humid climates where corrosion resistance is important.

Asome screen door.
Love the heavyweight frame, very easy to assemble.

Sturdy door
I ordered the hercules with the pet screen. Very pleased overall. One corner was off a little bit on the miter, but it went together easily, and was fixed with a little fileing. Overall, this door is far superior to its predecessor. Seems very sturdy, and should last for years. The rollers are great too. Easy to adjust and ride very well in the tracks.

Great for salty hurricane prone coastal homes
I live on Hatteras Island, aka 'Hurricane City'. Salty air and gale force winds are common. It's great for your health, not so much for screen doors. The wheels turn to rust or dust within 10 minutes of exposure. And the wind shreads screens. Very thankful for a screendoor that's "Hurricane-proof". Paid a lot, but has been a real blessing. Looking forward to replacing the others, and the window screens, too.

Great Door
I have using replacement doors from big box stores and they - right from the beginning - feel wobbly. This door is a higher quality. I bought the highest level one and assembled it myself - very easy. The only problem for me was the width. The height was perfect because I measured so carefully. Unfortunately I didn't measure the width as carefully so it doesn't quite close. Still way better than those other doors.

Door Screen
I had to replace my crappy universal screen sliding door, so I decided to buy this one, I choose the highest priced one they had, because I wanted excellent quality. I saved money by assembling the screen door my self. It had all the items I needed to complete the screen door, Pros: the door looks nice and is of good quality It does slide nice, I would buy from them again for another door.

Nice Product but overpriced
The screen is very nice and sturdy. Easy to build and install, the dimensions were spot on as well.

This would be 5 stars but.....
The door itself was exactly as advertised. Cut exactly to my specs and extremely easy to assemble and spline for the screen. My only issue was with the latch. But it's a big deal for me. I have a 20 lb Maine Coon Cat that figured out how to open my last door so I needed something strong and secure. I'm not expecting this door to stop an intruder but I do need something that is secure when the door is closed. The door latch itself is very strong and built nicely. The hook part that attaches to the side jamb is a very soft metal that has a point that's supposed to keep the door shut. Unfortunately I can open this without using the spring loaded door latch. I'm thinking a redesign of the latch and hook should be looked at for a more secure design. If jiggling the door itself can open it then the whole point of it is mute.. I ended up going to home depot and getting a screw with a large head and shaving the head down to fit the door jamb while also allowing the door itself to slide past the latch and allowing the latch itself to hook the screw. The screw was cheap but the time it took to figure out what would work and fabricate it so the door latches 100% of the time took hours.... If anyone from metro would like photos of what I did please feel free to contact me and I'll send the finished result. Honestly though, the door is strong and well built..

Amazing quality!!
Exceeded our expectations, worth the extra $$. And we also bought the pet screen on both hoping to avoid what happened to our old screens from our cat. Assembly was not difficult, videos helped a lot. Thank you!
