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.

sliding screen door
easy to assemble quality material

Superior unassembled screen
The quality and appearance were very good. Easy to assemble and it rolls very well. I would caution buyers on correctly determining the door overlap required. Easy to overestimate when you haven't done this before and have one door exceeding an approriate overlap, 1.5" is the minimum and a little more is still fine..

High Quality Door; easily assembled
I bought the "kit" version of the "superior sliding screen door" to fit in a the track of an existing pair of swinging doors. Guidance on measuring allows me to get the right dimensions. Kit was ready pretty quckly and delivered by FedEx. Frame went together very easily due to tight tolerances on the cut frame and the plastic corner braces. I also ordered the pet-resistant screen option. There was plenty of screen material and spline and the kit came with a low cost spline tool. I could have got the job done with this, but it was easier with a higher end spline tool I happen to own. Finished door fit right into the track and rolls back and forth easily. Very happy with this purchase.

SUPERIOR EXTRUDED Sliding Screen Door UNASSEMBLED
Door assembled easily and the easy view screen looks really good. Had to oil up the wheels to get it to slide better and lost a nice little insulative padding that I had on the old screen door. Overall, works well and looks good.
