Single Door Retractable Screens in Orem
Your front door is the first thing visitors see when they arrive at your Orem home. A traditional screen door adds visual clutter, blocks the view of your entry, and requires constant opening and closing as people come and go. Single door retractable screens solve these problems by providing insect protection on demand while remaining completely invisible when not in use.
Sun Peak Shade installs custom-fit single door retractable screens throughout Orem and Utah Valley. Each screen is precision measured for your specific doorway, fabricated to match your trim colors, and professionally installed to operate smoothly for years.
The Single Door Advantage
A single door retractable screen mounts inside your door frame with a slim housing on one side. When you want fresh air, you pull the screen across to a magnetic latch on the opposite side. When you’re done, it retracts back into the housing and disappears. Your entry looks exactly as it did before installation.
This design works perfectly for standard entry doors, single patio doors, and any opening up to 100 inches tall and 48 inches wide. The screen operates silently with rubber bumpers preventing any slamming. There’s no spring-loaded snap-back like cheaper alternatives. The retraction is controlled and smooth.
The slim profile means the screen fits inside your existing door moulding rather than mounting on top of it. We custom cut every component for your specific opening, ensuring the installed product looks intentional rather than improvised. Most visitors won’t notice the screen at all until you deploy it.

Perfect for Orem's Summer Evenings
Orem enjoys some of the best summer weather in Utah. Long evenings with comfortable temperatures make it tempting to open the house and let fresh air circulate. The problem is bugs. Mosquitoes, moths, and various flying insects are drawn to open doors, especially once interior lights come on.
A retractable screen lets you enjoy those Utah Valley evenings without turning your living room into an insect habitat. Deploy the screen when you open your door, retract it when you close up for the night. The mesh keeps bugs out while allowing full airflow through your entry.
The design also handles Orem’s variable weather gracefully. When canyon winds kick up or afternoon thunderstorms roll through, retract the screen into its protective housing. Unlike permanent screens that stay exposed to whatever conditions arrive, your retractable screen stays protected when not actively in use.

Entry Door Applications
Front doors are the most popular application for single retractable screens in Orem. Homeowners want the airflow that comes from opening their entry but don’t want the dowdy appearance of a traditional screen door. The retractable option gives you both: screening when the door is open, clean sightlines when it’s closed.
The screen works with in-swing and out-swing doors equally well. We assess your specific entry during the consultation and configure the installation to match your door’s operation. The screen never interferes with normal door function.
Side entries and garage-to-house doors are another common application. These doors often get left open during summer months for ventilation, creating a highway for bugs into your living space. A retractable screen turns these secondary entries into effective ventilation points without the insect problem.
Patio Door Screens
Single patio doors leading to decks and backyards work well with retractable screens. The screen deploys when you want to leave the door open for airflow or pet access, then disappears when you close the door or want an unobstructed view of your outdoor space.
For wider patio openings or French door configurations, we install dual-screen systems that pull from both sides to meet in the middle. If your patio has a single door, the standard single screen system handles it perfectly.
Installation and Warranty
We start with a measurement appointment at your Orem home. We bring samples showing colors and materials, demonstrate how the screen will fit your specific doorway, and provide pricing during the visit. No waiting for quotes.
Installation typically takes 1-2 hours. We do fabrication off-site, so installation day is straightforward. We arrive on time, install the screen, test the operation, and clean up the work area before leaving.
Every single door retractable screen includes a lifetime warranty on metal and moving parts, plus a one-year warranty on the screen mesh. Warranty registration is automatic with your purchase.
Maintenance is minimal. The screens have just one moving part and require no lubrication. Vacuum the tracks once a year, or more often if you notice dirt accumulation, and the screen will operate smoothly for years. Most customers go 6-7 years before needing any service, and we’ve seen well-maintained screens last a decade or more.
Colors and Customization
Our screens come in a range of standard colors designed to match common door trim finishes. During your consultation, we’ll help you select a color that complements your Orem home’s existing appearance.
For homeowners wanting broader selection, we also offer window solar shades and interior blinds that can coordinate with your retractable door screens for a unified look throughout your home.
