Best Screen Solution for Doors: Is Retractable Worth It?

violajones13

Hi folks, I've been eyeing retractable screens for my home but can't decide if they're really practical. Do they actually hold up in busy households with kids and pets? Also, how hard is it to keep them clean and maintain their smooth operation over time? Curious if anyone’s had good or bad experiences with these screens on different door types, especially sliding or French doors.
