Retractable screen door

I was thinking of getting one of these for our front door but thought I'd ask for some input. If you have one do you like it? What brands are good? I live in Southern California and we don't have air conditioning. Can they be locked?

I have a Phantom screen on my front door. We got it so we could cool off the house in the summer with the cross ventilation of the windows and doors in the rear. Works beautifully.
My only words of advise would be to look at the options and don't be penny wise and pound foolish. You do get what you pay for.

Very interested in recommendations. I have Andersen out swing french doors and had the Andersen retractable screens installed about 3 years ago and we have never been happy with them. Does anyone know if they have improved their offering?

I have read that Phantom, Mirage and Clearview (based in San Diego) make solid products, but who knows if I am only reading info from people associated with these companies. Any personal recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks.

I have sold Phantom when I worked in retail(which was some yrs ago)and there were no issues and everyone was happy with them.

The retractable screen doors are growing in popularity. We are using the Provia model on almost every French Door and double door installation. Customers who purchase a quality double door usually don't need a storm door and the retractable screen doors offer a better and lower cost alternative if a screen is all that is needed. Plus on some of the nicer and detailed glass packages, it allows the door to be viewed without the obstruction of a storm door.

They are fine, as long as the wind doesn't blow. Hint-Hint

Hint, hint. What does the wind have to do with it? They are a borderline product regardless.
