Product Overview
Superior Sliding Screen Door Kit for Custom DIY Replacement
Replace Your Sliding Screen Door with a Made-to-Size DIY Kit
The Superior sliding screen door kit is designed for homeowners who want a stronger alternative for standard, flimsy, and jam-prone screen doors. Each custom sliding screen door is cut to your exact dimensions for a perfect fit and optimal performance.
Built with a durable extruded aluminum frame, the Superior door is a stronger alternative to screen doors that are prone to bending, damage, and premature wear. The kit includes four adjustable steel rollers, a latching handle, and fiberglass insect screen as the standard mesh option, along with several specialty mesh upgrades available for different visibility, durability, and insect-control needs.
Why Choose the Superior Unassembled Sliding Screen Door?
Made to Size for a Better Fit
No patio door opening is exactly the same. Even "standard-size" door openings will have some variance due to installation and other factors. Choosing a custom sliding screen door kit will ensure it fits securely to keep insects out and smoothly slides open and closed, without jamming.
Before ordering, simply enter your width and height selections so the frame pieces arrive cut to size. This makes installation easier and eliminates the need to trim the frame yourself. For best results, carefully measure your existing opening before purchasing your sliding screen door replacement.
Extruded Aluminum Frame for Everyday Durability
Unlike thinner roll-form screen doors that can bend or jam over time, the Superior door uses a stronger extruded aluminum frame designed for long-term everyday use. It offers a noticeable improvement in durability and stability while still staying lighter and easier to handle than the heavier-duty Samson series.
Adjustable Rollers and Latching Handle Included
Every Superior kit includes four adjustable steel rollers that help fine-tune the fit and improve sliding performance across the track. The included pull handle and latch hardware provide secure and convenient functionality.
Choose Frame Color, Mesh, and Coastal Hardware Options
Frame Color Choices
Multiple frame color options are available to help match your patio door frame, trim, or exterior finish. Popular choices include white, almond, beige, bronze, and mill finish options depending on your project needs.
Specialty Screen Mesh Options
Every patio screen door kit includes standard fiberglass insect mesh for reliable airflow and insect protection. You can upgrade to specialty sliding screen door mesh options to improve visibility, durability, comfort, and solar protection based on your needs.
Popular mesh types include:
- BetterVue for improved visibility and airflow
- Super Screen for enhanced durability
- Pet Screen for homes with pets and more wear resistance
- No-See-Um/Tiny Mesh for protection against tiny insects
- Solar Screen to help reduce heat and glare in sunny areas
- Aluminum Mesh for a stronger, more durable screen material
- BMT AllergyGuard if available in product options
If you're unsure which mesh material is best for your project, you can request a sample before ordering.
Coastal Package for High-Humidity Areas
Homes in coastal or humid climates can benefit from our optional Coastal Package upgrade. This package includes stainless steel rollers, screws, and latch hardware designed to withstand moisture exposure and reduce the risk of corrosion in harsher climates.
What Comes with the Superior Sliding Screen Door Kit?
Each kit includes:
- Frame pieces cut to size
- Your selected screen mesh material
- Four adjustable steel rollers
- Pull handle and latch hardware
- Assembly corners and installation components
- Assembly instructions
Because the frame arrives cut to size, customers typically do not need to cut aluminum pieces during assembly, which makes the project feel more manageable for DIY homeowners.

SUPERIOR EXTRUDED SLIDING SCREEN DOOR
The screen frame came with the door corner connecotr pieces installed in the top and bottom pieces. When I first tried to assemble it, the parts would not align. Once I realized the corner connector pieces were pushed too far into the top and bottom pieces, it took a few whacks with a hammer to adjust them, and then everything fit nicely.

Sturdy frame, excellent customer support
This frame was to replace a 10-year-old patio door which had become flimsy and hard to open or close. This replacement arrived quickly and was very sturdy. Assembly wasn't too hard, and there were ample supplies of screening material. I did have one problem in that the door ended up being a bit taller than the original which made it impossible to install. I submitted a report online, and got a reply soon after requesting more info and photos. They came back the next day with a suggestion on how to reduce the height of the frame, and I was delighted that it worked! I also used online chat to ask a question and got a quick reply with lots of info. This company has excellent customer service.

Excellent and Easy!
A great screen! They promised less and delivered more. The screen came earlier than expected and was complete. Just about everything needed was included (you'll need to provide a sharp knife. Assembly and installation took less than an hour. I highly recommend MetroScreenWorks!

Great!
As the manager of a hardware store and also "the screen guy" I'm glad I found Metro! After trying other products with less than satisfactory results, I can tell my customers "You will get what you pay for, and you will be satisfied, guaranteed!"
