# Hinged Insect Screen

A sash system that opens like a door — works with one hand, closes itself with the spring catch.

## How Does the Hinged System Work?

Its difference from fixed and roller models is that the screen panel itself moves.

In a hinged insect screen the meshed panel is a sash: along one edge it connects to the casing with hinges, the opposite edge is held and pulled like a door handle. The sash makes the same movement as the door — the user manages both arrangements with a single hand motion.

The hinge set is the sash's spine. Top and bottom hinges keep the sash in plane; a spring catch or magnet pulls the sash to the closed position. Closing stays slam-free and the sash seals itself.

This is the standard solution on doors: a fixed panel cuts the passage, a roller is for windows not doors, a sliding panel wants a second rail. The hinged sash merely attaches behind the door and mimics the door's own opening arrangement.

## The System's Standout Parts

The sash-hinge-catch trio is the system's identity.

- The Standard on Doors A sash that opens with one hand — screening without breaking passage.
- Hinged Opening A sash hinged to the side frame — it pivots like a door.
- Quiet Closing A spring or magnetic catch closes the sash softly.
- Frequent-Passage Durability A casing and connections designed for dozens of opens a day.
- Made to Measure Measured production fitting the door and window sash exactly.
- Low Maintenance Needs no care beyond a yearly hinge and catch check.

## On Which Opening, Hinged?

Passage frequency and sash direction make the choice.

On balcony and garden doors the hinged sash is the only right option: a user carrying a load opens the door and the screen in the same motion. On double-sash doors two panels are mounted on opposite hinges.

On an outward-opening window the hinged panel mounts from the inside; it pivots in the same direction as the window sash. On an inward-opening window the sash collides — a roller or sliding system is chosen there instead.

Mesh choice does not change the panel: fiberglass is standard, [pet screen](https://www.fenetresystems.com/en/cat-screen/) in homes with pets, [steel mesh](https://www.fenetresystems.com/en/steel-insect-screen/) where durability is wanted — all mount in the same hinged casing.

## Frequently Asked Questions

Which door does a hinged insect screen fit?

It fits single-sash doors opening inward or outward as standard — on double doors two panels work opposite each other.

Does the sash slam in wind?

The spring catch and magnet keep the sash closed; when the wind pushes, the spring resistance absorbs the impact.

Can it be used on a window too?

On an outward-opening window sash the hinged screen mounts from the inside — the sash opens together with the screen.

How is the opening direction chosen?

The hinge goes right or left — the direction is specified at order by passage habit.

The opening joineries the hinged sash mounts on are shown in the [application areas](https://www.fenetresystems.com/en/insect-screen-application-areas/); the alternative that disappears when not in use is given in the [roller system](https://www.fenetresystems.com/en/roller-insect-screen/).
