Swing Screen Doors — Full Airflow Without the Insects
A quality swing screen door is one of the most cost-effective comfort upgrades for any Philippine home. Rigid aluminum frame, hydraulic auto-closer, and heavy-duty mesh.
Rigid frame. Auto-close.
Hands-free every time.
Architectural aluminum extrusion with serrated rubber mesh spline, hydraulic door closer, aluminum kickplate, and anti-lift hinge clips for daily front-door use.
A swing screen door is installed on the outer face of your main door opening — the screen opens first and automatically returns closed while the solid main door remains open for ventilation. This gives you a complete insect barrier without restricting airflow.
The aluminum frame is fabricated to fit your exact opening with a small clearance gap. Hinges are set at the same side as your main door. The hydraulic closer is adjusted to your preferred closing speed and tension.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about swing screen doors in the Philippines.
What is the difference between a swing screen door and a sliding screen door?
A swing screen door is hinged and opens inward or outward like a regular door — it works best for main entrance doorways. A sliding screen door runs on a track parallel to the main sliding door, making it ideal for patio and balcony openings. Swing screens are generally more durable and provide a tighter seal.
Can swing screen doors be installed in front of a main door?
Yes. This is the most common application — a swing screen door in the outer position, with the solid main door inside. The screen door opens first and automatically closes via the hydraulic closer. The main door stays open for ventilation while the screen keeps insects out.
Are swing screen doors strong enough to withstand typhoon winds?
Swing screen doors are not designed to resist typhoon-level wind loads. During a typhoon, you should close and latch the solid main door. The aluminum frame and anti-lift clips are designed for normal wind conditions, not sustained typhoon-level pressure.
What mesh type is recommended for a main entrance swing screen door?
We recommend fiberglass mesh for most residences — it provides good airflow and visibility. For households with dogs or cats, we recommend pet screen (heavy-duty PVC-coated mesh) which is significantly more resistant to scratching and clawing without deforming.
