What do our customers say?
Company-wide reviews published on Trustpilot. Every public rating is included.
Great service and product. This flyscreen is easy to install and works really well keeping Flys out of the house. The cats are still able to get out their cat flap too. Much sturdier fabric then what you can buy at Bunnings or Mitre 10. Highly recommended
Not only is the screen fantastic, I don't think I have ever had better customer service and communications in my long life.
Thank you so Budget Screens, I'll be a customer my whole life.
Keep up the great work.

The most satisfied i have been with a product in a long time. They delivered above expectations. I was looking for a fly screen and ordered with bespoke measurements to fit my sliding door. Their instructions were very clear and the product fits perfectly. Materials are robust, magnets are strong and it looks very good now that it is installed. So much crap is sold online, this company is a stand out. I am a very satisfied customer ( and now flies free:))
I needed a simple to install, simple to use product, to combat incessant flies coming in through our upstairs balcony in Brisbane. The door being open is essential for the all important breeze, but the flies were unwelcome. Magnetic options were not ideal, and traditional fly screen mesh blocks the breeze. Amazingly, the dangling chains block no breeze, do not block the view much as the loops in the chain are quite open, and not a single fly!!! And I can just unhook it and take it down if I do not want it there all the time. Also amazingly, this product was delivered in just a few days, in the days before Christmas. Tick, tick, tick. Highly recommend the product and company for prompt service.
I have ordered 3 screens from the magnetic door company. They are on the outside of my house and I leave them up all summer. They last about 2 years with the wear and tear but I would recommend them - they keep the mosquitos and flies out and are simple to use and do not detract from my view
Fantastic screen door, perfect for the dog to get in and out. Made to the exact custom measurements I asked for. Great quality material. Very friendly, responsive customer service and communication when ordering
this is the second time I have purchased a custom made fly screen for my bifolding doors in the kitchen. the service was great, the installation process was simple. my first flyscreen lasted several years and hopefully this one will last even longer.
I would definitely recommend the screen door company,we ordered our fly screen with no issues,it was quick and simple to order and arrived a week early,it was easy to put up and we love it
You can change your mind. Under the Australian Consumer Law you have 14 days from delivery to cancel for any reason, and a further 14 days to send it back in resaleable condition. We refund the price you paid, including standard delivery.
If it turns up faulty, damaged or not as described, that is on us. The the Australian Consumer Law covers you, we pay the return postage, and you can have a repair, a replacement or your money back. Read the full detail on our refunds and returns page, or ask us anything before you order.
High grade magnets are sewn inside a fabric strip that runs the full height of the centre seam. Walk through and the two halves part; behind you the magnets find each other and pull the seam shut.
Do I have to touch it to open it?
No. You push through it, which is the point. It works with your hands full, carrying washing or a tray, and it closes behind you on its own.
What tools do I need?
None. A full velcro strip runs the perimeter and it is self adhesive. Push pins are in the kit for extra hold.
What are the push pins for?
Older frames, painted frames and frames that have seen a few summers. The adhesive does the work on a sound frame; the pins add security at the corners and halfway down where the load is.
How do I measure my doorway?
Measure the door FRAME, not the door. Width from the left of the frame to the right, height from the floor to the top. Then add 2 centimetres at the top and 2 centimetres each side for the stitched velcro strip.
What if my doorway is between two sizes?
Go up. A screen slightly larger than the opening sits flat against the frame; one slightly smaller leaves a gap that insects find.
What sizes do you stock?
Widths of 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110, 120, 140, 160 and 180 centimetres, in 210 and 240 centimetre heights, plus a 60 x 180 for a caravan or RV door. Not every width comes in every height, so the size list on this page is exactly what we stock.
Do you have a caravan or RV size?
Yes, 60 centimetres wide by 180 high, in black.
What if my door is not a size you stock?
Send us the measurements through the custom magnetic door screen page and we will quote you. We make them to measure.
Can I cut it down to fit?
We do not recommend it. Cutting means cutting through the reinforced stitching and, depending where, the magnet seam. Order the next size up or ask for a custom quote.
Is it strong enough for daily use?
It is heavy duty polyester mesh with double reinforced stitching down both sides, built for thousands of cycles. Doors that open forty times a day are the normal case, not the hard one.
Will it damage my door frame?
The velcro strip is self adhesive and comes away again. It is a common choice for rentals for that reason. Take it off slowly and warm the tape first if the weather is cold.
Can children use it?
Yes. The mesh is light enough for a child to push through, and it closes behind them without help.
What about pets?
Small dogs and cats let themselves in and out through it. That is usually the reason someone buys a second one for the back door.
Black or white?
Black is less visible from inside, because dark mesh disappears against a bright outdoor view. White reads better against a white frame from outside. Same mesh either way.
Does it keep mosquitoes out?
Yes. That is what the mesh and the self closing seam are for. A screen door that does not shut properly is the usual reason a doorway keeps letting insects in, and the magnets solve exactly that.
Does it let air through?
Yes. The polyester mesh ventilates freely, which is the whole point of leaving the door open.
Can I fit it to a sliding door?
Yes, as long as there is a flat frame surface for the velcro strip and the screen is not in the path of the sliding panel. Measure the fixed opening, not the panel.
Will wind blow it open?
The magnets hold it closed in a normal breeze. In a strong gust it will part and then close again, which is what a magnetic seam is supposed to do.
How do I clean it?
Take it off the velcro, wash it gently by hand in warm water and hang it to dry. Do not put it in a machine and do not wring the magnet seam.
Can I take it down for winter?
Yes. Peel it off, fold it loosely with the magnet seam flat, and store it. The velcro strip can stay on the frame for next season.
Does it come with everything I need?
Yes: the screen, the full perimeter velcro strip and push pins.
Can I fit it on my own?
Yes, though a second pair of hands makes hanging the top edge straight much easier on a wide doorway.
What if the adhesive lets go?
It is almost always dust or a frame that was not cleaned first. Clean the frame properly, re-press the strip, and use the push pins at the corners.
What does delivery cost?
Delivery is free anywhere in Australia on orders of $100 or more. Below that it is a flat $27.50, which is also the express rate, so one price covers the order however many items are in it.
How long does delivery take?
Allow 5 to 7 days to your door, after a 24 to 48 hour handling and processing time on our end.
Do you deliver outside Australia?
No. We deliver within Australia only.
Do your prices include GST?
Yes. Every price on the site is the GST inclusive price, and the free delivery threshold is measured on the GST inclusive total too.
Can I return it if I change my mind?
Yes. You have 30 days to return an unused item in its original packaging for a refund. Nothing here affects your rights under the Australian Consumer Law if the screen door is faulty, not fit for purpose or not as described.
How do I track my order?

How it closes itself
There are magnets sewn into both edges of the centre seam, running the full height of the screen. Push through and the halves swing apart; behind you the magnets find each other again and the seam shuts. Nobody has to put a hand out, which is the whole point when you are carrying washing or a tray.
Measuring your doorway
Measure the door FRAME, not the door, and take the width from the left of the frame to the right and the height from the floor to the top. Then add 2 centimetres at the top and 2 centimetres each side, because the stitched velcro strip needs somewhere to land. If your doorway sits between two of our sizes, go up.
Fitting it
Clean the frame, press the velcro strip around it, then press the screen on from the top down so the mesh hangs straight. Push pins come in the kit and are worth using at the corners and halfway down, especially on an older frame or one that has been painted several times.
Black or white
Black mesh vanishes against a bright outdoor view and is the more common choice. White reads better against a white frame from outside. Both are the same mesh and, size for size, close to the same money.
Kids, dogs and cats
The mesh is light enough that a child or a small dog pushes through without help, and it closes behind them the same way it closes behind you. That is usually the reason people buy a second one for the back door.
