Magnetic Screen Door Partner Program
Are you a property manager, real estate agent, or general contractor managing multiple properties? Magnetic screen doors are a high-turnover request for rental units and patios. R8Works provides dedicated installation crews for volume orders. We ensure every frame is perfectly prepped and every mesh hangs straight, saving your maintenance team hours of frustration.
How We Install Magnetic Screen Doors
1. Frame Preparation
The most common reason magnetic mesh fails is dust. We wipe the perimeter of your door frame with 90% isopropyl alcohol to ensure the adhesive strip achieves a permanent bond, following 3M surface preparation guidelines.
2. Height Calibration
We measure exactly 1/8 to 1/4 inch of clearance above your threshold. This prevents the mesh from dragging on the floor and fraying while ensuring a tight bug seal and meeting ASTM D3656 insect screening specification. If you have other small jobs around the house, our Handyman team can tackle those on the same visit.
3. Center-Rise Prevention
We mount the top center of the mesh exactly half an inch higher than the top corners. This physics trick forces the two sides of the mesh to pull together, eliminating the gap that often forms in the middle of DIY installs.

I originally tried to install a cheaper mesh myself but couldn't get it to stay up. I called R8Works for some advice mid-DIY, and the guy on the phone was super helpful. I eventually just hired them to do it right. Best decision. The frame prep they do makes all the difference.
Great service. They cleaned the door frame thoroughly before applying the tape.
My dog kept pulling down the old screen because it was too tight at the bottom. R8Works measured it so it hovers just above the sill. Now my golden retriever runs through it all day and it hasn't budged!
Was struggling with a big gap in the middle of a screen I bought online. Called their support line and they actually gave me free phone advice about raising the center half an inch. I was so impressed I just had them come out and install the heavy-duty one they supply. Total pros.
