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.

Hercules sliding screen door
The Hercules sliding door arrived perfectly sized to requested dimensions. I used a rubber mallet to assemble the frame. Filing the edges of the corners made for a flush fit. With the screen installed, the door was sturdy and works well. Highly recommend the door.

Sliding and Window Screens
We had a great experience with Metro Screens. We bought a total of 18 screens, 16 windows screens and 2 Hercules sliding screens. The first 16 window screens we bought came quickly and one had a bent frame and we reached out to Metro Screen. They asked for a picture to verify and quickly sent us a replacement. After this great experience, we bought 2 Hercules sliding screens. The screens are very well built and we love it. They even offered to sent us the sliding screens fully assembled at no charge! We will definitely buy more when the need the arise and will recommend them to family and friends! Thank you!

Worth the Money
I installed a new custom Hercules sliding screen door today. It was very well packaged for shipping as assembled. It's very easy to install and fit perfectly (don't forget to adjust the upper rollers too, and add the upper square plastic track guides). It wasn't cheap, but it's worth the money. I chose the pet screen and the stainless steel kit (salt air). Solid framing, tough screen, smooth operation, nice latch system, and good locking mechanism. This door is light-years better than the "junk" they sell at the "big box" stores. I will buy again from Metro! Thank you, Metro Screenworks! Nice job!

Great screen door!
We received the Hercules screen door (unassembled) and we put it together without problems. It is very good quality, and with minor adjustments, installed on our patio door easily.

good product
I selected the "unassembled" Hercules model. And it seems to be excellent quality. I assembled the frame and "tested" it in the door opening and it seems to work fine. Then I installed the screen. All went nicely according to the video (you do have to find the video on one of the other models, Metro should consider adding a link to the TOP END Hercules model. I (obviously) do not know the long term durability, but it is VERY well built. I tried a cheap box-store door and those are NOT worth the time or money. It was a stop gap waiting for delivery and not expected to survive. The door was 1/8" BIGGER than the dimensions I requested. I checked back with Metro and they assure that is "normal" manufacturing tolerances. I have worked with and for several manufacturing companies, and I would suggest they work to IMPROVE that. That is why I tested it BEFORE installing the screen, and will test again before I trim the excess screen. I hope is passes. Many metal works companies can hold tighter tolerances. And OVERSIZE seems like it could be a problem to some people. I would encourage a GOAL or + 0" and - 1/8" for their manufacturing people. And as a minor point, the corners of the cut material are VERY sharp. I took a flat file and very gently shaved off the end point. It would be VERY easy to sustain a nasty cut if not careful with assembly. They are even very sharp after the frame is assembled. I hope Metro can make these minor improvements, as it is a VERY VERY nice and well built door.

Screen door makes my wife happy!
Our patio door has been missing it's screen door for a while now. It was flimsy and broke and I couldn't get a replacement in it's size. Anyway because I was able to customize my screen door with Metroscreenworks, I give them a try.. Money well spent! The door is strong and glides easily. My door had to be assemble. If you can use a screwdriver and figure what a rectangle is, then you can do it.. when you unpack the box keep in mind that door parts has sharp ends before assembled, and make sure corners are flush before tightening screws. It took me about 30 minutes to install the mesh. Follow the instructions and take your time... After installation my wife was all hugs and kisses..lol.
