Included Components:

- Hook and Loop Tape (Pre-attached or separate roll)
- Push Pins (for wooden door frames)

Installation Steps:
- Clean the Door Frame: Thoroughly clean the door frame surface where the screen door will be attached. Ensure it is dry and free of dust or debris for optimal adhesive performance.
- Measure Before Purchasing: Confirm your door frame dimensions are suitable for the 38"x82" screen.
- Connect Magnets: Lay the screen door flat and ensure all magnets along the central seam are connected and the screen is completely shut.
- Attach to Top of Door Frame: Hold the screen door to the top of the door frame, making sure it sits approximately 1/4 inch off the floor. This ensures proper magnetic closure.
- Secure the Sides: Carefully press the hook and loop tape along the sides of the door frame, working your way down. Ensure the screen hangs straight and taut.
- Use Push Pins (Optional/Recommended for Wood): For added security on wooden door frames, use the provided push pins along the hook and loop tape. For metal or aluminum doors, the hook and loop tape provides sufficient hold.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance will help prolong the life and effectiveness of your Flux Phenom Magnetic Screen Door.
- Cleaning the Mesh: Gently wipe the mesh with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dust and dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the fiberglass material.
- Checking Magnets: Periodically inspect the magnetic seam to ensure all magnets are properly aligned and closing securely. If any magnets appear misaligned, gently adjust the fabric around them.
- Inspecting Adhesive: Check the hook and loop tape along the door frame for any signs of peeling or loosening. Re-press firmly to ensure a strong bond. If necessary, clean the frame and reapply adhesive tape (not included) to weak spots.
- Winter Storage: For prolonged durability, especially in harsh winter conditions, it is recommended to remove the screen door and store it in a clean, dry place.
Troubleshooting
Here are some common issues and their solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Screen door does not close completely. | Misalignment during installation; magnets obstructed; screen not hanging straight. | Ensure the top of the screen is 1/4 inch off the floor. Re-adjust the hook and loop tape to ensure the screen hangs straight and the magnets align perfectly. Check for any debris obstructing the magnets. |
| Adhesive tape is peeling off the door frame. | Insufficient cleaning of the frame; extreme temperatures; heavy use. | Clean the door frame thoroughly with rubbing alcohol and let it dry completely before re-applying the hook and loop tape. For wooden frames, ensure push pins are used for extra security. Consider using stronger adhesive tape if issues persist. |
| Screen mesh is torn or damaged. | Sharp objects; excessive force; pet scratching. | For small tears, a mesh repair kit or strong adhesive patch can be used. For significant damage, consider contacting customer support regarding the lifetime replacement policy. |
| Screen door sways excessively in wind. | Insufficient attachment points; strong winds. | Ensure the hook and loop tape is firmly pressed along the entire frame. Use additional push pins, especially on the sides, for increased stability in windy conditions. |
