The tacks kept bending even with controlled force. They created holes that tore the mesh and left it hanging. The peel and stick Velcro is a waste of time. It only sticks to the door frame. Waste of money and effort. It only closes if you pull it together manually, can’t withstand normal wind either.

Measure and let the magnets click before installing around door frame. Magnets seem to not run into each other as much as they used to but it is good to use when you want to air out your house as you cook meals, etc (what I use it for) and I have to grab the magnets when I want it to close. Not a bad thing but if easier to click them, 5/5.

wonderful functionality. living along the Texas coast means LOTS of insects. this is perfect, it's inexpensive. follow directions CAREFULLY and you'll have no problems. the center of the top needs to be slightly higher than the sides. this aids keeping the magnets easy closing. make sure you measure your doorway. you'll need about a ½" to ¾" overlap.

This was a total bait and switch. I should have taken it back for refund. It is not sames as packaging in ad. I was replacing an original Magic Mesh bought at Walmart store. This posted same box and specs but was Instant Mesh Guard. A knockoff that is cheap, did not come with enough velcro., no pins and magnets are terrible. It did not fit snug like the real thing it is not worth price paid. I could have gotten a real Magic Mesh at Amazon for a couple of dollars more but I trusted Walmart. That was a mistake. I had to pull magnets apart and put in magnets from old real Magic Mesh. A total ripoff and not worthy of Walmarts name associated. This seller should be dropped and fined for this travesty.

This item works for the most part. It's a little bit of an awkward fit on smaller width doors and most of the time needs some assistance to close properly. Snapping 2 of the magnets together usually causes the others to snap closed as well. It does involve attaching velcro with an adhesive strip to your door casing.

This works well to keep out the insects when I have my door open but the door needs to be fully open for it to work well and even then I get caught up in it when I'm trying to carry anything out. I got it to allow my dog to enter and exit and had to modify it to work for her. It doesn't fit the patio door opening as well as I would like.

Works great unless your dog wants to push through the side, not the middle. My two dogs are shredding this thing. It was very easy to hang over a sliding patio door opening. Since dogs are used to pushing their nose out the edge, that's what they did with this screen door.

Disappointed in this product for use on our sliding glass door opening. It did not work as seamlessly as on the television commercial, which I could deal with as long as the bugs stayed outside. The real bummer was when waking the next morning to see that both sides were lying on the deck!

………..with modifications. Magic Mesh was too wide for my patio doors and I had to create side hems as well as a bottom hem which I weighted with stones to help it close more easily. Had to use tacks to hold the velcro tape in place - my own tacks. The tacks sent with the Magic Mesh were absurd plastic topped affairs which fell apart upon use. The Magic Mesh has been up two days now - ask again in a month for more insight.

The quality is different than one I previously purchased had to do repairs before it would fasten, the glue strips would not hold and had to improvise them also. But We do like having this type of screen so our pooch can go in and out easily. Still would purchase again.
