Introduction

In warm Southern California neighborhoods like Escondido, homeowners are always looking for simple ways to keep their homes cool while keeping bugs out. One of our recent clients wanted a cleaner solution than a bulky traditional screen door — something that worked when needed and disappeared when it wasn’t. A single retractable screen door from Apollo was the answer.

Project Overview

This project took place at a single-family home in Escondido, CA. The homeowner was looking for a screen option that didn’t take away from the look of their front door. They wanted airflow, protection from insects, and a better solution than the clunky sliding screen they’d removed years ago. We recommended a Single Retractable Screen Door — custom-built, smooth-operating, and nearly invisible when not in use.

Installation Process

One of our factory-trained techs visited the home to measure the entryway to the exact millimeter. The door was built to order and matched the color of the trim for a clean, integrated look. Installation took less than an hour, with zero disruption to the existing door frame. We adjusted the tension for a gentle close — no slamming, no bouncing back.

Benefits Realized

• ✅ Bug-Free Breeze: Keeps out unwanted pests while allowing natural ventilation

• ✅ Disappears When Not in Use: Retracts fully into a slim housing

• ✅ Built to Fit, Built to Last: Custom-measured for a snug fit and smooth glide

• ✅ No-Slam Technology: Closes softly without the usual springy bang

• ✅ Metal Handle, Modern Feel: Feels solid in your hand — no flimsy plastic

Conclusion

This Escondido homeowner now enjoys clean air and comfort, without giving up the look of their entryway. The Apollo single retractable screen door works when needed, and vanishes when it’s not — all with a smooth, quiet motion that sets it apart.
