I have a French door 60" x 80" can I use two screens and have them meet in the middle will they stay closed when they meet in the middle?

I have seen that in the past but I m not sure it would work with two of these because the magnet is separate from the metal inside the screen. You would have to rig it to work the way you want. If you can do it the magnet is powerful enough that it should stay.

I suppose if you got two sets, attached magnates on the side with out them, but that would be a pain. Or perhaps do some measuring,then go to a hardware store and purchase an appropriate roll of screen. You can use (black) duct tape to attach it to the sides without the magnates. I use this process to fix holes in the screen. Put tape on both sides of the screen so that the tape sticks to its self.

I use mine on French doors that swing in as well. I just swing the doors in as far as they'll go, then put the bar inside the door frame and it works great! (Obviously you have to take it down to close the doors). Let me know if you need to know anything else. BTW I love this screen!

the tension / spring of the closing mechanism is not so strong that the door not opened wide will automatically be closed. But that said, I don't think you could leave the door open with a 6 inch gap without some trials and adjustments

I guess it would depend on how much clearance between the doors. It might be too deep to let the other door pass. I put this on a screen door though and I love it. My screen was only a month old when fireworks in the neighborhood caused my dog to chew thru the screen.... This really helped.

Hi. No the top of the bottles will not get in the way of the door closing. I have put 6 wine bottles as well as liquor bottles in the middle part and had no problem closing. The typical bottle will fit. Hope this helps = : - )

Yes, that's how I use these. a large window with 2 sides open from side-to-side. I placed these screens in front of the existing screens. this is to avoid my cat from ruining the existing screens. the width fit my particular window and I opened up the screen as far as it goes. I then taped a small piece of cardboard into the section where both pieces meet. It stays in place, has not fallen down. it's in the outside channel, so I can still open and close the window, if needed. Another brand, more expensive, comes with white instead of wood trim. i intend on painting the wood on mine, so it blends in with my window that faces the front street.

These hinges require 1/8" space at the top and bottom and 1/8" space at the side walls. If you are butting two doors togrther only allow 1/16" for each door so you have a 1/8" gap between the doors.

It sounds like it would be a little too small for your opening. The screen measurements are 36"x 83", but this is the total size, including an edges that are secured with the velcro. Because they are secured flat against the frame it takes up about an inch on each side. Once all the edges are secured, it fits doors up to 34" x 82" While it works on some of our doors, something I am considering in the future is to frame up a small screened area outside my front door and making the opening to accommodate this screen so I can step out my front door without getting accosted by bugs and critters.

In order to use two of the magnetic doors on your French doors you must have a rigid board (2x4) down through the centerto anchor both magnetic doors to, BecAUSE YOU HAVE TO OPEN THE FRENCH DOORS TO GET THE USE OUT OF THE MAGNETIC DOORS and they need something to tack into .

I agree with the first answer you received including the analogy. You can lessen the tension to the point that it will barely close at all. I can see not reason to have a closure on both sides of the door with the information you provided for having this need.

No, both screens retract fully. If you want just one open, there are pegs on the left side that hold that side of the door screened.

It will work. I have this installed on french doors that open outwards. It's installed with adhesive backed velcro that you attach to the inner door moulding, then the screen sticks to those velcro pieces.

You'll need to position the rack and the shelves to align so the door closes. I had to retrofit the rack to work properly.

On a regular door, the lock swings out to catch the door frame. So if one French door remains locked shut when the other side is opened, the Top of Door Lock should catch it. And there must be enough space between the doors for the Top of Door Lock to fit in. There should be a gap of at least 1/8 inch per this review:

The two gates may be connected but there will be split entry. Each gate has a support post so it will not equal a double gate width, just two single width gate connected.Good kuck

Yes, you will need two sides. I had to make spacers for my application and it worked perfectly, but I had both sides. If the 15" doors have a center stop, then you may be able to make it work, but if the double doors close without a center stop, then it won't work.
