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.

Strong and easy to assemble
I am very impressed with the strength of these doors. I was nervous that the self-assembly would mean a weaker result, but the corners are rock solid and the aluminum lengths feel far sturdier than my old cheap screens. The steel rollers are also excellent. But what really made these perfect was that I could order them to exactly fit my unusual-sized doors. Highly recommend, and will probably buy more for my other sliders.

Just what I was looking for
Love my new sliding-glass screen door. We use it all day so needed a screen door with a bit more heft than the flimsy ones I saw in local home improvement stores. Our new Metro Screen Door is functioning perfectly and seems of good quality that will last.

Very happy with the door
Bought this door as a replacement when our dogs ruined our last one by running through it. We purchased the pet screen. It was easy to assemble. I used plenty of WD40 on the joints to make them slide in much easier. Applying the screen was very simple (i've had some practice.) I wish i had submitted my height a quarter inch shorter. Overall, much better quality in frame, screen and rollers than the door that came with our house.

almost too big
i was able to assemble my new screen door quite easily. from unpacking to installation allow an hour. i measured my old door to determine the size. the new door was a tight fit. but once installed the new door glides like a charm. i recommend the stainless steel rollers for a salt environment. i recommend assembling on a rug or carpet.

finally a screendoor that works
I maintain vacation properties in the catskills. Every year I need to replace a dozen sliding patio screens. The superior sliding screen door is the solution to flimsy screens. Very impressive, and very easy to assemble!

Perfect fit
Assembly took about 20 minutes. I upgraded to the pet screen and it was more difficult to fit into the groove but worth the pain. Easy instructions and a solid screen door.

Good product
Good product, easy to assemble and install. The instructions were a bit vague. They didn't include how to install the rubber strip and the handle. Could be a bit confusing for a novice.
