An open door, without the flies
A door screen only earns its place if it closes every time, including the times your hands are full. That is the job we build the range around.
Ten standard widths
60 to 180cm wide, in 180cm, 210cm or 240cm heights, black or white. Measure the frame, pick the size that covers it, and it ships from stock.
Ten minutes, no tools
It fits inside the door frame rather than to the wall, so there is no drilling, no tradesman and nothing to swing or slide.
Comes back down
It lifts off at the end of summer without marking the frame, which is the part that matters if you are renting.
Black or white
The screen comes in black and white. Black is the harder of the two to see from inside, so it blocks the view least; white suits white frames and lighter doorways.
For the ones that get in
A rechargeable electric zapper racket for whatever still gets in. It charges over USB, so there is nothing to keep buying.

Good to know
Frequently asked questions
No. The kit comes with self adhesive velcro tape. Stick it around the door frame, press the screen on, and that is the job. Most people take about ten minutes.
Magnets are sewn into both edges of the centre seam. Walking through pushes them apart, and they pull straight back together behind you.
Ten widths from 60cm to 180cm, in heights of 180cm, 210cm or 240cm. Black and white are both stock colours.
Measure the width and height of the frame, then add 2cm at the top and 2cm at each side for the stitched velcro strip.
Take the next size up. A slightly larger screen gathers at the corners; a slightly small one leaves a gap, which is the problem you were solving.
Yes. The mesh stops mosquitoes and flies, and because the magnets close the seam there is no standing gap for them to use.
Yes. There is no handle and nothing to push. Children walk straight at it, and most pets work it out within a day or two.
Yes. The screen fits to the frame rather than the moving panel, so sliding doors are one of the most common fittings.
Yes. It is light, it folds away, and it fits any frame the velcro will stick to.
Coated fibreglass at a 15 by 17 density. Fibreglass holds its shape better than the cheap nylon screens and does not crease permanently.
You can see out clearly. From outside in daylight it reads as a dark panel, which is the usual trade off with any insect screen.
No. Air moves straight through it. That is the whole point of leaving the door open.
Take it down, lay it flat and wipe it with warm soapy water. Let it dry fully before putting it back. Do not machine wash it.
Yes, and most people do. Peel it off, fold it loosely and store it flat. Leave the velcro on the frame for next season.
The tape is made to come off again, but old or flaking paint can lift with any adhesive. Test a short piece in a corner first if you are unsure.
Allow 5 to 7 days after a 24 to 48 hour handling and processing time.
Right across Australia, including Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, the Gold Coast, Canberra, Newcastle, Wollongong, Hobart and Darwin.
On orders of $100 or more. Below that it is a flat $27.50 anywhere in Australia.
Yes. Every price on this site includes GST.
The screen with the magnets sewn in, and a roll of self adhesive velcro tape for the frame. Nothing else is needed.
28, running the full height of the centre seam rather than sitting in a few strips.
The mesh and the magnets. Cheap screens use nylon mesh and a handful of magnet strips, so they tear sooner and gape in the middle.
Yes. Send us the width and height through the custom size quote form and we will price it.
Yes, if you measure the full opening rather than one leaf. Ask us for a quote on a very wide opening.
The velcro holds along the top and both sides rather than at a few points, so it copes with normal breeze. Take it down in strong wind.
Yes, a rechargeable electric mosquito swatter. It charges over USB and there is nothing to spray.
Yes. The charged mesh sits behind an outer guard on both faces. Keep it away from small children all the same.
Yes. Change the quantity in the cart, or add different sizes for different doors.

Buying guide
Choosing a fly screen door
At Budget Screens we have been selling screen doors right across Australia for over 15 years. This page is the short version of what we have learned: which size suits which doorway, how to measure it, and what the screen is actually good at.
What a magnetic screen door is
It is a pair of mesh curtains held shut down the middle by a line of magnets. You fit it to the door frame itself rather than to the wall, and it hangs in the open doorway. You walk at it, it opens, and it closes behind you on its own. Nothing to latch and nothing to slide.
That is the point of it. A hinged screen door needs space to swing and something solid to hang off. This needs neither, so it suits a back door you use forty times on a summer day, and it comes down again in autumn.
Black or white, and which to pick
The screen is the same in both colours. Only the look changes.
Black is the one most people choose. From inside it is the harder of the two to see, so it takes least away from the view out, and it hides marks better on a door that gets used forty times a day.
White suits a white frame and a lighter doorway, where a black panel would stand out against the paint.
A mesh screen is not a security door and it is not an insect proof seal. It stops what walks and flies into an open doorway, which is what most people actually want in summer.
Measuring your doorway
Measure the frame the screen will fit to, not the door itself, and measure the opening at its widest and tallest point. Our sizes run from 60 cm to 180 cm wide, and 180 cm, 210 cm or 240 cm tall.
If you fall between two sizes, take the larger one. A screen slightly wider than the frame still fits and hangs properly, whereas one slightly narrow leaves a gap down the side, and a gap is the whole problem you are trying to solve. If your doorway is outside that range, ask us before you order rather than guessing.
Fitting it
It is a DIY job and it takes about ten minutes. The screen fixes to the frame along the top and down both sides, so the only real decision is where the top edge sits. Get that line level before you fix anything, because a screen hung out of true will not close cleanly down the middle no matter how strong the magnets are.
Work from the top across, then down each side, keeping the mesh under light tension so it hangs flat. Take it down at the end of summer, fold it loosely and store it flat, and leave the velcro strip on the frame for next year.
Where people use it
Back doors and patio doors are the most common by a distance, usually somewhere with the door standing open all evening. After that: balconies, caravans and motorhomes, garages and workshops, and back-of-house doors in cafes and kitchens where the door has to stay open and the flies have to stay out.
Questions before you order
If you are unsure which type suits your doorway, or your opening is an odd size, ask us first. We would rather answer two questions now than have you send a screen back.

In summary
Page summary
Budget Screens (budgetscreens.net.au) is an Australia wide online store from BuyFactory Direct Pty Ltd. The range is fourteen products in ninety-eight sellable configurations. Window screens are the largest part of it: a magnetic window screen whose PVC frame clips to a 3M backed magnetic strip on the window, in white, black or brown and three square sizes; a velcro edged screen whose continuous hook and loop tape follows an arched or angled opening, in two edge colours and three mesh types; and a cat proof screen in 10x16 vinyl coated polyester that resists claws. All three are ordered one size above the opening and cut down at home with a blade or strong scissors, so nothing is drilled and nothing is left behind in a rental. The door screens are a self closing magnetic screen door with magnets sewn the full height of the centre seam, in black or white across thirty-three sizes from 60cm to 180cm wide including a caravan size, and an aluminium chain link curtain for a doorway in constant use. The swatters are a rechargeable electric racket with an LED, a riveted PU leather swatter, and a ten pack of plastic swatters. The accessories are replacement fibreglass mesh in standard 18x16, midge 20x20 and 10x16 pet proof, as cut pieces or on rolls up to 244cm wide, plus PVC frame and magnetic strip by the metre and a four corner set with two wind clips. There is also a mosquito bed canopy. Nothing is made to measure: every size listed is a stock size, and the custom quote pages are for anything outside them. Published specifications stop where the supplier's data stops. Prices are in Australian dollars and include GST. Delivery is free right across Australia on orders over $100, otherwise a flat $27.50.
