Manual Drop Screens Features
Custom Screen Services in Orange County
A manual drop screen is a horizontally mounted screen unit that lowers down for sun, wind, and/or privacy control. The screen is mounted across the top of the opening to be protected. A manual drop screen is installed with a left and right bracket system and is operated with a hand crank that turns counterclockwise to lower the screen and clockwise to raise the screen.
All manual drop screens come standard with a bracket mount system, hand crank, weight bar, and wire guide system. Manual drop screens do not include a housing cover, but one is available for an upcharge. The left and right wire guide system is intended to prevent the weight bar from swinging in the wind. They provide limited retention and don’t secure objects, animals, or persons inside or outside your dwelling. Manual drop screens can also be installed without a wire guide system depending on the application.
