Fresh air is great for the whole family. Opening up the doors and windows for the sights and sounds of the neighborhood helps boost mental health and lower energy costs.
Having a screen on your front door and back door or windows can help improve passive airflow into your home and reduce the amount of air conditioning you use.
Some homeowners might feel unsure about adding a screen door to your front door if they have kids, but with the new latch stop feature for Phantom door screens with the latching handle, you’ll have peace of mind that you can help prevent any unwanted visitors, sometimes even including family and friends, as well as add a level of security for the younger members of the family so they can’t just simply open the screen door.
The latch stop feature is a seamless addition that doesn’t add any bulk or distraction from your home’s design. Here are 4 ways you can improve your space with Phantom’s new latch stop feature:
Whether they were invited or not, having the latch stop feature can give your home extra security so friends, family, or neighbors can’t simply walk in. This added security is great for families in busy neighborhoods.
If you do invite someone over, you’ll be able to know when they arrive before they come into your home, giving you extra time or space before they enter your home. When they can’t just open your screen, they’ll be forced to ring the doorbell!
The latch stop feature not only prevents people from coming in but also prevents
young children and vulnerable elders from exiting, preventing any accidents from happening on busy streets.
Leaving a door open by accident can cause a pet or child to run out of the house, but with the extra protection of a latch stop, you can easily prevent accident openings from happening. Just be careful not to lock yourself out.
Oops, you locked yourself out? It happens to the best of us. Check out our guide for getting back in, even if your screen is locked.

Fixed screens are stationary, always in place to offer protection and ventilation, but their disadvantage is that they can obstruct views or generally get in the way. Retractable screens, on the other hand, slide away discreetly when not in use, which adds to your home’s design and boosts convenience.
Choosing Phantom retractable screens for your home on Long Island gives you flexibility. You can enjoy their protection and privacy when you need them, and easily move them away when you don’t. They are a superior choice for those valuing both functionality and style.
Absolutely! Retractable screens offer an ingenious solution to common issues like insects, harsh sunlight, lack of proper airflow, and lack of privacy but with the added convenience of disappearing when not in use.
They adapt to your needs and easily enhance your living space without compromising on style. Phantom’s retractable screens are particularly durable and reliable, thanks to high-quality materials and expert installation. They seamlessly blend elegance, utility, and longevity.
Motorized screens enhance the convenience of retractable screens by automating the process. With a simple button push, they eliminate the need for manual handling, which makes them especially useful for oversized or out-of-reach screens. And even beyond that, they allow you to effortlessly manage light, privacy, and home protection. With Phantom’s motorized screens, Long Island homes can get that extra touch of sophistication and utility.
Designed for longevity, Phantom’s high-quality motorized screens can last for many years, 20+ even, if you choose the right option for your home and if you make sure to maintain them properly. They are built to withstand the elements and daily use, and once they’re installed and given regular care, they remain a beautiful and functional addition to your home for a long time.
