My husband and I added a sunroom to our home that included a sliding glass patio door and screen door. Construction was by a reputable builder who used quality materials, but after several years and much usage, the sliding screen door became warped. This was partly due to our dog getting overexcited and hitting the screen with such force attempting to get outside, that he knocked the screen door off its track and loosened the screen from the frame.

We replaced the sliding screen door with one built by Lansing Housing Products. The new door frame is far superior in quality, durability and the screen is extremely solid. The screen is puncture proof and the frame has withstood a lot of pressure without being derailed or bent. For quality, durability and SAFETY, Lansing Housing Products deserve the highest rating possible. They have set the standard by which all like products should be measured.
