Question 1

My door frame is 90 cm wide—will the 85 x 205 cm size still work if I stretch it?**

Accepted Answer

This model is designed to fit a frame that is exactly 85 cm wide or slightly smaller (around 83–85 cm). Stretching a 85 cm screen over a 90 cm frame may cause the magnets to gap, especially in wind. For best results, measure your frame’s inner width and height precisely before ordering. If your door is larger, consider a wider model or a custom-sized screen.

Question 2

How strong are the magnets? Will the screen stay shut in a breeze?**

Accepted Answer

The VP version uses upgraded magnets that are noticeably stronger than the Apalus Classic. In calm to light breezes, it seals well. However, many TikTok users have noted that in heavy wind or on open balconies, gusts can still push the seam open. For indoor patio doors or sheltered entries, it works great—just not for exposed, windy spots.

Question 3

I have a cat that likes to push through the mesh. Is this truly “cat claw safe”?**

Accepted Answer

Most cat owners find the mesh holds up well to typical pawing and leaning. The material is denser and more tear-resistant than standard screens. That said, “cat claw safe” means it resists scratching from casual contact—not from a determined cat that claws or climbs repeatedly. If your cat is very active, many users recommend reinforcing the edges with additional Velcro or screws.

Question 4

The strap isn’t shortenable—what if it’s slightly too long for my door?**

Accepted Answer

You’re right, the 3.8 cm wide strap cannot be cut or shortened. It fits best on doors that are exactly 205 cm tall or slightly taller (up to about 210 cm). If your door is shorter than 205 cm, you’ll have excess strap that hangs loose, which some find unsightly. Measure your height carefully, and if in doubt, contact support about alternative sizing.

Question 5

Is the sticky tape enough, or do I need to drill holes?**

Accepted Answer

The included adhesive tape works well on smooth, clean surfaces like glass, metal, or painted wood. However, on textured, porous, or dusty frames, the tape may lose grip over time. Many users on Reddit recommend using the tape for a quick setup, then adding small screws or pin nails for a permanent hold—especially if you have pets or live in a humid area.
