We had one of these on a door that needed to be left open at a place I used to work. The one thing we noticed is that in order to work properly it had to be fastened on all 3 sides and stretched tight with just a slight overlap at the center. Once we mounted it that way it worked perfectly for the two years I was there. I think the reason why yours isn't working is you do not have it mounted in this fashion. We also used the tacks that came with it and threw the stupid Velcro strips in a drawer for some other project.
I know someone with this on their backdoor and it works perfectly. I'm starting to think that maybe after an initial run, a lot of these items are downgraded in production standards to shittier, cheaper versions.
Looking at it, he didn't attach the sides to the frame, and the seam had some overlap. Still, this looks like a much shoddier version than the ones I've seen in the past (and the one I had seen before got horribly torn by a dog going through it at speed).
EagleKai not to mention the "fold" on left side panel going from top left corner towards bottom right corner... suggesting the panel on that side is placed on angle so that it naturally goes more to left making it even harder if not impossible to close without help´after its open.
Or the magnets that wouldn't stay shut. Comments like "you should have connected the sides" are like the special olympics of internet commentary. Comments like these will probably lead Mike to bang his head against the wall and just disable commentary all together.
Lincoln Noronha i used long pieces of wood, and just screw it to frame, and put this cloth between, its still not pleasant, it shits behind but its not comfortable to use.
Well, Mike, you haven't set that up properly at all. The sides are supposed to be attached as well, and the top was a tad too spread apart. Regardless, the sticky pads were garbage, so even if it had gotten set up properly, it would probably end up falling down anyways.
+Kandi Gloss Nah, not everywhere. Say for example places with short summers, like in Scandinavia. When you'll only have something like a month's worth of screen door worthy weather any given year, those detachable nets are more likely to be worth the money than an entire extra door.
And in places in the states, there are these really dumb things called "covenants" where in a nicer neighborhood, there's a literal ban on things that make a house look lower quality, and screen doors are usually the first thing on those ban lists.
Funny... i actually own a bunch of these. in my country they were sold with push pins and velcro sticky pads.. and they work EXCELLENTLY. you're been a bit harsh here bro. Mines allow me to leave my doors open all night. and do exactly what the advert shows. The magnets even close it properly since it's firmly secured...
BurntFaceMan Yeah, he was doing it wrong for a bit of humor I suppose. But just FYI it wouldn't be "you're (you are)" it would be "you've (you have)" since it is past tense.
My family had one of these for our back door and for awhile it worked. But the thing is if you live in a place that gets quite windy like Arizona, like I do, it will fall apart after one or two wind, dust, or just monsoon storms. Plus it wouldn't stay together causing the flaps to bang around making an irritating noise. So...I WOULD NOT recommend it. It is a cheap piece of plastic mesh, Velcro, and magnet garbage.
I think there is a better version of this product already in most people's homes... Because, I wonder if the creator of this product just lived in a house that didn't have screen doors.
We had this one too, even with the sides connected it wouldnt click, the same thing happened as with you lol. I just ended up tearing the thing apart and I got the magnets out. They're strong af, I played around with them xD
Have one of those. Useful for dogs I gotta say, though the quality varies wildly between brands. It's gotta be installed just right for the magnets to close properly though. You need to tack in the sides by the way, otherwise it's useless.
I have one of these and it doesn't close on it's own after you walk through it, you have to actually push the magnets together to close it. also theres a small space between the two halves that bugs can still fly through, and they can easily crawl under the bottom of it too...
I had one of these for my balcony porch at my old place. The adhesive on the velcro was very weak and didn't stick. In the end we duck taped it the the door frame, which offered the most support. Even with that support all across the top and the bottom, the magnets proved to be just as weak as the adhesive on the velcro. We had to manually close it every time we went out, including the dog. Eventually we just threw it out. The duck tape, which was added for support, was the only strong and working thing about it all.
I used to deliver mail for the post office, and ran into a house that had one of these up. When PROPERLY installed, it felt like I was walking into a damn net, the magnets did not want to part so I could enter.
I had these, they work for a short amount of time but then the sticky pads lose their adhesiveness and then the whole thing is useless, it would be really good if it could stay up properly. If you can get it cheaper I would recommend it and come up with a homemade solution to actually keep the stick parts attached to the doorframe.
It is crap, however, I suppose, You should have fixed the mesh to the sides of your door frame, because othervise it would anyway be just a simple curtain.
It looks to me like there aren't whatever is holding the middle part stiff in the infomercial in Mike's version, the way it moves when it snaps back clearly indicates that there is something stiff in the center part, which would also ensure the magnets line up properly for catching each other. When it's jus thte mesh like it looks on Mike's there isn't really anything to guide the magnets back to each other
Bought one of these. You're not too far off. I had to reinforce it with extra tacks and duct tape for it to even last 3 months. And it required constant repairs. 2 adults, no kids and no pets.
I have one of these, just from a different brand from the look of it. It works perfectly every time and has never fallen off, even after a whole year of using it. I think it did require some setting up, maybe with screws, but that's better than those sticky pads from the version in the video.
I own one of these, and it does kinda work, but the magnets keep sticking to the metal pipes and the radiator next to the door, so it stays open sometimes. And it has already started to rip.
I have a product that's similar on my front door that works fairly well, but you need to attach it properly to the door, and that includes the sides. I will attest that the sticky mesh doesn't work well at all though, especially in the hot summer months, but then if you're looking for a year round solution you're better bet is getting an actual screen door. I wouldn't say that it's a great product but I do think it's far better then your review suggests. Then again I got mine at a retail store and not from mail order. I would suggest that if you set it up properly the screen might get a passing review. You are spot on about the adhesive though.
i had one and it worked just fine.the Velcro sticker that were provided did the job. but my dog(and stray cats) tore it up from whenever she wanted to come back inside . maybe if you used the pins it would have worked for you
I have something like this at work except it is made of a heaver harder plastic with a tension rod and different magnets. Its really great especially since it can easily be 10-20 F hotter inside compared to outside.
ive got one of these and it works fine, it came from lidl and cost about £4. the one I got online that cost more than that was crap and didn't work, its down to how strong the magnets are. I can vouch for the lidl's one, magnets are really strong. also, u have gotta stick it all the way around the frame, and it goes on the inside, rub down the door frame with alcohol before u put the Velcro on it and it won't come off again.
when I was 5 (I’m 14 now), I had a mesh door where the magnets were on the right outside frame of the door and then the screen was attached properly. It didn’t last long though but it was pretty good for a makeshift screen door.
I used to have one of these, it worked fine for about a week, then the magnet case things hit each other so hard that it cracked and the magnet came out.
Apparently the manufacturer matters. Mine came with a roll of velcro stripping used to line the doorframe in an upside-down U shape to hold the screen firmly in place on 3 sides, and the closure has magnets running the length of the seam, and seals itself silently. It's been 100% reliable at keeping yellowjackets out of the house and 99% reliable at stopping flies and mosquitoes (who will sometimes actually search the seam for an opening), as sometimes happens on the bottom due to the screen being a few inches longer than the frame. (protip: wipe the frame with isopropyl acohol and let dry before applying adhesive.) www.amazon.com/Magnetic-Screen-Velcro-Openings-34”x82”/dp/B00KZNOHTW/
I actually own one of these things, and mine works relatively well. Sure, some of the magnets on the bottom don't connect like they should sometimes, but it's not as bad as Mike's. The magnets on this one seem to be weaker than mine. Maybe there's a difference between the US and UK versions. The magnets on mine are fairly aggressive.
U should try using the pins to hold it in place... it makes it work better. We had 1 i worked fine but after a year it frayed at the bottom making it useless.
I think it would of worked better if you would of properly secured all the corners and sides to the door frame, it's hard for the magnets to get to each other when they are flopping around in the wind
1 friend hat this. As soon as his dog Trott. went through it it came off the door. Another friend had it. It kept stayi g open by sticking to the METAL Door. They can work right if installed PERFECTLY and not near anything metal.
this product would probably work if it was mad of some sort of mesh like they use in jeep insect screens and had weights on the bottoms to prevent it staying open due to wind
To be fair it seamed to be secured to the frame by the sides as well as the top in the ad, thus giving the weight of the magnets only one way to swing back into one another, but yeah those adhesive pads are a bit bollocks...
My friend's mother has one of these. Whilst the product does not work as advertised, it is useful, since she used pins to secure the whole outside to the doorframe and it works perfectly. It is still a bad product though I suppose since it is advertised as working with JUST the sticky pads which it clearly cannot do.
Mine came with tacks to secure it along the top and sides. I did have some trouble closing unaided, but it lasted the season. However it did end up breaking down eventually.
Me and my folks use one, out of the box it is pretty shitty and it was too big for our door. It does work sort of as advertised, but only after we affixed the damn thing with thumb tacks
You'd have better luck using those little magnets that vibrate and buzz when they collide. Actually, you probably would. but then they'd sound like the damn infomercial.
That and the openings between the magnets are large enough to let bugs in regardless. They manage to get in through small cracks, they can get in through 4-5inch openings...
+Isissa125 answer to the issue is curtains.. if youre outside mostly , keep the windows covered so sun dont get in. that wiull significantly cool things down :)
after doing these for a year you should do an awards ceremony kinda thing and give "awards" out for the worst products. Maybe come up with some kinda categories like worst foot product. Best advertisement lie worst cheese grater and overall worst product of the year.
You only taped down the top part. also you should try and add some weights to the bottom edges of the net so they sorta clang together instead of wafting in the wind. Might have worked i dunno.
when we had this it worked fine but the dog tore it up when we closed him outside. it came in a set of two so we put up the other one and were a bit more careful but the California sun somehow bleached the material and made it fall apart.
Maybe try a staple gun to secure it along the top and down the sides, those sticky tabs are truly useless. The downside to staples is that they will leave holes in your doorframe if you don't intend the mesh to be permanent.
My dad got this for me after the screen door broke. The mesh lining ran and constantly got caught in the door.Finally it decided to give up and fell down after a few days. This product is just as bad as this video shows.
I own or own one of these they are amazing when you have pets and live out in the middle of nowhere in Michigan. However if it is very windy the sides open if you do not have at least one side completely pin down
We had one of these on a door that needed to be left open at a place I used to work.

My grandma had one of these bitches, it worked great! For about a month. Then it came apart.
Yup, downgraded versions, same at the Ideal Home Exhibition, top quality German kit to demonstrate, cheap Chinese crap to sell..
"you should've connected the sides too!"
Yeah, that'll magically fix the fact that the sticky pads weren't even fucking sticky.
Or the magnets that wouldn't stay shut. Comments like "you should have connected the sides" are like the special olympics of internet commentary. Comments like these will probably lead Mike to bang his head against the wall and just disable commentary all together.
+Matt S but it works. i am using this shit secound year and it shuts behind.
Congratulations...
did u nailed it? I think the thing may work if you ditch the pads and use nails
Lincoln Noronha
i used long pieces of wood, and just screw it to frame, and put this cloth between, its still not pleasant, it shits behind but its not comfortable to use.
You didn't believe in the magic of the Magic Mesh. It was doomed to fail. If we all clap or hands and say "I believe" the magic will come to life!
every time you say "I don't believe in magic mesh" a magic mesh somewhere stops working and it's family become frustrated.
You gotta believe, DAMN IT!
***** Santa Christ? Wait, the fuck?
sonicawesomeness No, don't listen to the bad bad adults, Santa Crhist does exist!
yenee94 What the fuck is Santa Christ. I thought it was Santa Claus. The fuck am I missing.
Well, Mike, you haven't set that up properly at all. The sides are supposed to be attached as well, and the top was a tad too spread apart.
Regardless, the sticky pads were garbage, so even if it had gotten set up properly, it would probably end up falling down anyways.
That's what the pins are for.
In Australia, we have an ingenious solution. a bloody screen door. either made of metal screen for security or plastic mesh
+Mitchell Theobald I think most everywhere has that, this is just a stupid product of stupid people.
+Kandi Gloss
Nah, not everywhere. Say for example places with short summers, like in Scandinavia. When you'll only have something like a month's worth of screen door worthy weather any given year, those detachable nets are more likely to be worth the money than an entire extra door.

fuckin' magnets, how do they work?
Jennifer Brady Has something to do with electrons and shit
Jennifer Brady I think they are rocks that were blessed by Jesus.
i don't wanna talk to a scientist!
+Jennifer Brady Stole my Idea.
Well it went click-click-click when it hit the ground at least.
this is quality mike, absolute classic informercialism !

But the thing is if you live in a place that gets quite windy like Arizona, like I do, it will fall apart after one or two wind, dust, or just monsoon storms.

I had this as a kid and it was just as bad as you showed it here lol.

***** no
You have an axolotl as a pet? That's a sub/favorite/like just for that.
CapnHolic They're so fucking cute. Mudpuppies, too.
I rate this video 5 stars... oh wait it's 2017.
You didn't install it right. The sides should be connected as well, which makes sense considering it would be the only way it would keep bugs out.
The scary part is his comment got 12 likes. This is why everything's going to shit. Stupid people are taking over.....
Considering how well the top stuck on I dont see how that would have helped much in the long run
I think there is a better version of this product already in most people's homes...
Because, I wonder if the creator of this product just lived in a house that didn't have screen doors.
DarthMorius I see these all over the apartments I live at where they do, in fact, not have screen doors
We had this one too, even with the sides connected it wouldnt click, the same thing happened as with you lol.
I just ended up tearing the thing apart and I got the magnets out. They're strong af, I played around with them xD
But you forgot to see if the mesh is a good cheese grater.
These actually works wonders. The sticky pads suck, nail or tack it up and they are awesome.
Have one of those. Useful for dogs I gotta say, though the quality varies wildly between brands. It's gotta be installed just right for the magnets to close properly though. You need to tack in the sides by the way, otherwise it's useless.
What ever happened to screen doors? this is not a problem!
Your worthless son will forget to close it!
the worthless son shall be spanked then!
I have one of these and it doesn't close on it's own after you walk through it, you have to actually push the magnets together to close it. also theres a small space between the two halves that bugs can still fly through, and they can easily crawl under the bottom of it too...

"It's magic, we don't have to explain anything!"
Your Axolotl looks very dark in comparison to mine :3 but I love them!
Umm arent you supposed to stick the sides down too?
In concept, it’s a pretty good idea. This would be especially useful in tropical countries where mosquitoes are the freaking number one predator.
It's great how closing and opening your regular door is about 4x less the hassle at least.
I had these, they work for a short amount of time but then the sticky pads lose their adhesiveness and then the whole thing is useless, it would be really good if it could stay up properly. If you can get it cheaper I would recommend it and come up with a homemade solution to actually keep the stick parts attached to the doorframe.
My mum bought this today.
This'll be funny.
lilbluedemon plays So how funny was it?
+lilbluedemon plays You have to tell us.
It blew away, via the slightest updraught.
It is crap, however, I suppose, You should have fixed the mesh to the sides of your door frame, because othervise it would anyway be just a simple curtain.
You know the product is bad when you don't get the Infomercialism jingle at the end.

I like the carved in flower in the wooden panel besides your door.
Mike, you are SO damn hilarious! You make me laugh EVERY single time I watch one of your videos! I just love you! No disrespect to Grace. 😁👍
Could have called them Magic Mess!!! Cute video! Well guess who won't be buying this!!!!
BTW, thanks for your English humour, loved it!

"Fuckin' magnets; how do they work?"
- ICP
my family has one of these, and if u put it up using pins, it actually works pretty good
Even if it works as show, bugs are still going to get in under the bottom of it. Do screen-doors no longer exist?
I have something like this at work except it is made of a heaver harder plastic with a tension rod and different magnets. Its really great especially since it can easily be 10-20 F hotter inside compared to outside.

My grandfather uses something similar for his tool shed. It works fine just fine, although one of the little magnets did break off.
sticky pads are for the tacks to put in. and it has to go all the way around the door way not just the top. Install it properly and do a proper reveiw
I used to have one of these, it worked fine for about a week, then the magnet case things hit each other so hard that it cracked and the magnet came out.
4:15 Magic Mesh turned into Magic Mash!
We had one of those, they never closed properly, they broke at the mesh and it wound up in the bin.
Probably would work if there were stronger adhesive pads and if the natural resting position of the magnets was right beside each other.
Apparently the manufacturer matters.

I've had mine up for a year now . You need to put the sticky bits down the sides and the pin hold the top
maybe it would help if you secured the sides as well
i think i found my new favorite channel omg
I actually own one of these things, and mine works relatively well. Sure, some of the magnets on the bottom don't connect like they should sometimes, but it's not as bad as Mike's.
The magnets on this one seem to be weaker than mine. Maybe there's a difference between the US and UK versions. The magnets on mine are fairly aggressive.
What's that wooden thing to the right of the door as we look at it with the flower engraved into it?
U should try using the pins to hold it in place... it makes it work better. We had 1 i worked fine but after a year it frayed at the bottom making it useless.
I think it would of worked better if you would of properly secured all the corners and sides to the door frame, it's hard for the magnets to get to each other when they are flopping around in the wind
This honesty looks like a crappy product that's also being used wrong. I'm pretty sure the sides aren't suppose to just sit there loose like that.
I just recently got this and it works exactly as advertised.
1 friend hat this. As soon as his dog Trott. went through it it came off the door. Another friend had it. It kept stayi g open by sticking to the METAL Door. They can work right if installed PERFECTLY and not near anything metal.
That would be more useful as a pass through on an inside door or as a way to air out a closet but not as a real screen door.
this product would probably work if it was mad of some sort of mesh like they use in jeep insect screens and had weights on the bottoms to prevent it staying open due to wind
I don't think you put it on correctly because mine works perfectly. Thank you for you info's though, keep up the good work your hilarious!
Sorry about the wind! (It's England)
0:21 Fucking magnets. How do they work? Motherfucking Miracles.
To be fair it seamed to be secured to the frame by the sides as well as the top in the ad, thus giving the weight of the magnets only one way to swing back into one another, but yeah those adhesive pads are a bit bollocks...
Never mind, no bugs will come in. They all roll on the floor laughing after they have seen this flimsy curtain! 🤣
My friend's mother has one of these. Whilst the product does not work as advertised, it is useful, since she used pins to secure the whole outside to the doorframe and it works perfectly. It is still a bad product though I suppose since it is advertised as working with JUST the sticky pads which it clearly cannot do.
Mine came with tacks to secure it along the top and sides. I did have some trouble closing unaided, but it lasted the season. However it did end up breaking down eventually.
Isn't this what those regular, notably _non-magic_ strings of beads is for?
You could try sticking it up with some industrial strength Velcro.
To be fair it did make the clicking noise, when it hit the ground that is
You didn't put it down the sides of the frame of the door.
Me and my folks use one, out of the box it is pretty shitty and it was too big for our door. It does work sort of as advertised, but only after we affixed the damn thing with thumb tacks
one of my friends have this. i still like seeing it click together when i walk through it
my mother bought one, it tore along the inner seam because the magnets didn't separate like they should have.
You'd have better luck using those little magnets that vibrate and buzz when they collide.
Actually, you probably would. but then they'd sound like the damn infomercial.
Why do you have a dinosaur in your tank?
My boyfriend's mother used to have something like this and hers worked fine. I don't think you put it together right.
Had mine fitted for a couple of years, works great but didn't use sticky pads, I fitted it with plastic strips screwed to door frame :-)
Wait, if it's warm outside wouldn't you want to close everything up to keep it cool inside?
That and the openings between the magnets are large enough to let bugs in regardless. They manage to get in through small cracks, they can get in through 4-5inch openings...
+erekllama Only if you have air conditioning. In my house all windows need to be open in summer most of the time.
+Isissa125 answer to the issue is curtains.. if youre outside mostly , keep the windows covered so sun dont get in. that wiull significantly cool things down :)
after doing these for a year you should do an awards ceremony kinda thing and give "awards" out for the worst products. Maybe come up with some kinda categories like worst foot product. Best advertisement lie worst cheese grater and overall worst product of the year.
Maybe attach the sides and too with better strips (command?) and try again.
i have this product and it stopped connecting after a couple of weeks.
You only taped down the top part. also you should try and add some weights to the bottom edges of the net so they sorta clang together instead of wafting in the wind. Might have worked i dunno.
I was thinking that it'd be attached at the top and bottom too... maybe even pulled somewhat tightly so it wanted to go together.
when we had this it worked fine but the dog tore it up when we closed him outside. it came in a set of two so we put up the other one and were a bit more careful but the California sun somehow bleached the material and made it fall apart.
we have the magic mesh and it works for us....after my fiancé struggled with it for an hour, nailing the mesh to the door frame.
Maybe try a staple gun to secure it along the top and down the sides, those sticky tabs are truly useless. The downside to staples is that they will leave holes in your doorframe if you don't intend the mesh to be permanent.
do people not have screen doors??
But does it keep the cheese out?
I've got one of these and it works fine. He hasn't attached it a the sides just at the top. Once taught it works properly
My dad got this for me after the screen door broke. The mesh lining ran and constantly got caught in the door.Finally it decided to give up and fell down after a few days. This product is just as bad as this video shows.
I have a magic mesh and mine doesn't close either. :/
Clearly the wizard was off duty when this one rolled off the line.
I own or own one of these they are amazing when you have pets and live out in the middle of nowhere in Michigan. However if it is very windy the sides open if you do not have at least one side completely pin down
