A fly screen door is an aluminium-framed mesh door fitted outside your glass or timber door so you can leave it open for the breeze without letting insects in. We supply and fit hinged, sliding and French fly screen doors, made to measure, for homes across Brisbane, the Gold Coast and Logan, in any of nine meshes including pet-proof, midge and bushfire-rated options.

Door types

  • Timber-look security screen door on a dark brick entry

    Hinged doors

    A framed mesh door on hinges, opening the same way as your door, with a pull handle and latch. For front, back and laundry doors.

  • Grey-framed sliding fly screen door on a brick home

    Sliding doors

    One mesh panel on a track outside your glass slider. We check the existing track at the measure and replace it if it is worn, so the screen glides instead of grinding.

  • Timber French doors with fly screens onto a verandah

    French doors

    Two hinged mesh doors meeting in the middle, one active and one you can latch open, so the whole width opens when you want it to.

Fly screen doors questions

Can you put a fly screen on a bi-fold door?

Yes, with a pleated retractable screen that folds away into a slim housing when you want the opening completely clear, so the bi-fold stays usable. We no longer fit multi-panel stacking mesh doors. The measure decides what suits your track and threshold.

Which mesh is best for a fly screen door?

Standard fibreglass suits most doors. Choose Paw Proof if a dog or cat uses the door, UltraVue if the view matters most, sand-fly mesh if you live where midges are a problem, and aluminium or stainless mesh if you are in a bushfire area. The mesh comparison page rates all nine.

Can a pet door go in a fly screen door?

Yes. A pet flap can be fitted into the door itself or into a fixed panel beside it. If your pet is a scratcher, pair it with Paw Proof mesh so the rest of the door lasts. Fitting a pet door to a rated security door is a different matter and can affect its rating; ask us where it can go.

How long does it take to fit a fly screen door?

A single hinged or sliding fly screen door is usually fitted in under an hour once it is made. The time between measure and fitting depends on the season and the mesh; your quote confirms the date.

Is a fly screen door secure?

No. A fly screen door keeps insects out and that is all it is built for; the latch is for convenience, not security. If you want a door you can leave open at night, you need a security door with stainless steel or perforated aluminium mesh, which we also make. SecureView and Xceed are the two to look at.

Do you replace existing fly screen doors?

Yes, and it is most of what we do. We measure the opening rather than copying the old door, because old doors are often the wrong size or hung badly. You can change the mesh type or add a pet door at the same time, and we take the old door away.

Will the new door match my existing frames?

In most cases, yes. Frames are powder coated, and we bring colour samples to the measure so you can hold them against the door frame. Black, white and window-frame greys cover most homes; wood grain suits timber doors.

What is the warranty on a fly screen door?

The mesh carries a 1-year warranty, whichever mesh you choose. Frame and workmanship terms are on the warranty page.
