|
|
Anyone ever seen a screen door in Korea? I mean the one that is made of wire mesh that goes behind the regular door (or in front) so that the regular door can be open without having mosquitos come in. My apartment only has windows on one side, so I often like to leave my door cracked open. If the wind is coming from the hallway to the room, then mosquitos get in. Of course I have an aircon, but it makes my throat so dry.
What would I even call a "screen door"? In Konglish 스크린 도어 has been taken to mean "sliding door", as in subway doors. So not even sure what to call a screen door in Korean.
I know they are easy to find in America and Thailand. In Thailand they will even come with steel reinforcement and a deadbolt lock so you can leave the regular "solid" door open at night. Would love something heavyduty like that here.
Thanks, |

Reminds me of that Seinfeld episode when Kramer put a screen door on his front door. |

Interesting, thank you.
The pictures showed some models that folded, that would be great since right inside of the door is the shoe pit.
I'll have to check out the Seinfeld episode. Must have missed that one.
Thanks |

A few people in my apartment complex have screen doors, so I know they exist here. |

There was a group of guys advertising their screen doors right outside of my fiancée's apartment last week, they looked pretty legit.
She took their business card. I'll see if she still has the number. |

Go to literally any interior store, or better yet neighbourhood door/window guy and he will come measure it up, I took my old one down and the local guy made me a few new ones... |
