What about a roll up screen. I see them on front doors . You may not be able to open both doors but one is better than nothing

[Villages Kahuna]

Easy. Call Ro-Mac Windows (352) 261-0391. I had the big slider screens for years. Not at all expensive as I recall.

Actually, if you have any window issues that need fixing, Ro-Mac is the place to call.

My lanai is completely screened so when I open my sliding doors there is no problem. Have I missed understood what you are asking?

If so, do you have any recommendations? Was it complicated? Thanks.

I added a screen but the anoles (the lizards everyone seems to refer to as geckos) manage to squirm their way inside. They aren’t harmful and they give my dog something to chase. Fortunately for the anoles, she can’t catch them but they do keep her entertained!

How about the hiding screen doors we have on some of our front doors? I used them on our sliding glass doors in South Florida after losing regular screen doors to hurricanes.

I modified the bottom of my lanai screen door, so far bugs or geckos aren’t getting in, but really small insects can actually get through the screen. So an additional screen might help a little. Also need to caulk the saw cut lines under the lanai screen bottom frame

[Red Rose]

Try to pinpoint the area they are using to get in. I found it in my lanai and blocked it up with aluminum foil. No lizards ever since.

I have a wide lanai doorway with one stationary and two sliding windows. There are no extra tracks on the bottom or top. Any suggestions? Any ideas or suggestions about installing an independent screen (new track?) that could cove a two-door-wide opening?

Now that I know about this, I won't sleep! How do you catch an anole?

One method is to buy some sticky paper glue traps for mice.

Another method is to place a large Tupperware bowl over the anole and then carefully slide a piece of cardboard under the bowl.

I have a sliding glass door on the side of the house and that has a sliding screen door. Even with that, lizards get in between the screen and the glass. There is about a one inch gap at the top and bottom of the rubber seal on the screen door and I think that is how they are getting in. I called the warranty department and they sent someone out who said there is nothing they can do to close the gap. It seems to me that there should be a solution-screen doors should not have gaps that allow frogs and lizards into the house.

I found the little creatures are getting in under the threshold for the screen door. A bit of spray foam insulation did the trick. Give it a try.

I have no idea WRT double moveable doors.. Mine is a single slider. One side is fixed the other slides.

[villagetinker]

OP, you did not mention the type of house, ours is a Gardenia, 12 foot wide 4 sliders, however, it is concrete block and there is a lip all the way around the exiting sliders, so it appears a second track could be added for screens.
