I bought this because I live in a rental place thinking I wouldnt need to drill or screw anything into the doorwall because the product states "Simple to install NO TOOLS !. Well to my surprise thats the first thing they ask you to do. The screen itself does not line up with the door they say it fits any door up to 36 inches and my door measured 35 inches. I measured it purposely to make sure it would fit before purchasing it. The gaps that remain around the door would let every insect in bringing me to the third misleading thing about this product. "It keeps out insects and other pests". Pretty hard to hold up to that claim when you have gaps all the way around the door. Very misleading represenation of this product. Save yourself the hassle and go with something different.

5.0 out of 5 stars Solves My Bug Problem, July 12, 2008

I live in a condo, where I am not allowed to install a permanent screen door. That left me with no way to get a evening breeze through the house without leaving the front door wide open and allowing the bugs into my home. When I saw these in 2004 I purchased two, as I thought for the price--I paid $4.99 at the time--they would not last long. I am still using the first one! Mine came with velcro on the entire length of the hinge side of the door, which works fine even when I go in and out. Others are correct that the instructions indicate that you should screw the provided hooks into the jamb on the knob side to keep the door closed. However, I have been using a length of double sided velcro to close from the handle to my inside door jamb. I have a sliding security lock with a brass loop on the inside jamb (slides from door through loop on jamb when door closed)--I simply loop the velcro length through and flip back to reverse side. This keeps the door closed and is easy to go through if needed. I also have found that with a little bit of practice, putting it up has become quite easy.

I use only in the evenings when there's little traffic through the door, so I understand why other might indicate that opening and closing can be difficult, especially if you use the two provided hooks. Also, folding it up isn't easy. So I just keep it leaning against the wall behind the door. I only fold it in the fall when the weather cools. It allows me to get a great breeze through the house without the bugs on all but the hottest days, saving me from using the AC!

Its not worth buying. The corners of the screen that is not velcro dont stay put. I had a get together at my house and every outside bug was in my house. I am still not able to kill all of the bugs. Find another option besides this one because it doesnt keep the bugs out.
