Those are what we have in our house. For a small door, like a TD, you wouldn't want them attached at the top and side(s) as shown. They open diagonally and with a small TD door, you wouldn't have enough of an opening to get in, unless you're about 3 feet tall and weigh 50 pounds. If you attach them at the top and place the magnets at the bottom, you will be able to utilize the entire door opening. As I said before, they would be very easy to make if you have, even rudimentary, sewing skills. just be aware that they do not fit perfectly tight and an occasional flying visitor will find it's way inrmblefsh wrote:I was thinking about a screen as well and thought that if I cut down a magic screen to fit, it would work well:

Maybe a mini version of that could work in a TD - provided
you can spare a couple inches - or slightly more - of inside width.
Remember you can use 1x2 [3/4in x 1 1/2in] wood for the door
structure. It just needs to be able to hold the screening and be
stout enough to take the sliding motion.

You could cut 2 pieces of ply 1/4 thick and sandwitch the screen between them and drew handles on each side lay on bed while in travel Just my 2 cents
