I NOT ONLY IS IT HEAVY DUTY, IT’S THE LAST PATIO SCREEN DOOR YOU WILL BUY

Samson Last Patio Screen Dog

It all started at the JLC Trade Show for residential construction. For 25 years, PCA Products has built a reputation for manufacturing the strongest, most durable, swinging style screen doors on the market. At the show, a Property Manager that managed several hundred units stopped by and said that patio screen doors topped his list of repairs. He could not find one that performed and held up to every day use. Quoting, “If you manufactured a patio screen door with the same features offered in your swing style door, I would be a customer.” After that conversation we began asking show attendees — homeowners, contractors, property managers and suppliers — what their complaints were when it came to patio screen doors. They had a lot of them, which included:

  • They're hard to operate smoothly
  • They don't roll well
  • They have cheap plastic handles
  • They have flawed screen systems
  • They have weak corners, causing the frames to twist and flex
  • The frames are flimsy and bend easily

After the show we spent time in the Florida market, the screen capital of the world. Our distributors and contractors voiced the same complaints. At PCA Products, we don’t even want to produce products unless there is a need. Based on these conversations there was clearly a need for a heavy-duty sliding patio screen door that worked better, and lasted longer. And, importantly, it was totally in line with our mission statement of “continuous innovation that solves problems for, and excites our customers.”

PCA has already perfected the construction of swing style screen doors so we went to work on sliding patio screen doors applying that same technology. It wasn’t easy, and we went through eight prototypes, but at the end of the development process we are now able to launch a patio screen door that outperforms all other patio screen doors, hands down.

I THE PROOF OF THE TRUE STRENGTH OF A PATIO SCREEN DOOR IS IN THE PERFORMANCE

PCA sliding screen doors are designed to be the last patio screen door you will buy. Our determination to be the best and our rigorous and researched approach to developing the Samson Patio Screen Door, have enabled us to create the strongest, most durable patio screen door on the market today. Some features of our sliding screen doors include:

Samson Corner Key
Strong aluminum corner keys that secure easily with four (4) fasteners per corner
Samson Self Locking Spline
Exclusive self-locking screen system -- the more you push on it, the tighter it gets
Samson Trim Channel
Integrated screen trim channel for easy trimming after the screen is installed into the frame
Samson Large Wheel
Over-sized, easy adjusting, 1-1/4" wheels to ensure the smoothest glide to prevent jumping off the track
Samson Preimium Handle
Premium, recessed, self-latching handle
Samson Heavy Wall Frame
Heavy Duty Dual Wall Aluminum Frame -- Ours is 2-1/2" x 1" x .055" wall thickness

Our patio screen doors now pass the test for best in performance, durability and long-lasting, making the name Samson, synonymous with “strength,” a fitting name for the new patio screen door product line.

I INSTALLING A PATIO SCREEN DOOR COULDN’T BE EASIER

The Samson patio screen door can be delivered 2 ways; In a knockdown form (we cut it to your size specifications), or fully assembled. In the knockdown form it can be assembled and installed in about 20 minutes. If purchased fully assembled, it installs in about 10 minutes. In fact, no patio screen door installs easier.
