Abstract
A garage door screen with a swinging door is disclosed. A durable multi-panel full garage door screen with a built in swinging door transforms a garage into a fully functioning indoor/outdoor space which allows airflow and protection from pests and provides easy ingress and egress to and from the interior of the garage. The garage door screen with swinging door operates just like a regular garage door. There are three or four or more horizontal panels depending upon the height of the garage door opening that are hinged together just like a regular garage door but the panels are screened and not solid wood or windows.

A garage door screen with a swinging door comprising:
- a lower horizontal panel;
- a middle horizontal panel;
- an upper horizontal panel;
- a first four-sided rigid frame located in the lower horizontal panel, the first four-sided rigid frame further comprising:
- a first hinge swingably connecting a first vertical side of the first four-sided rigid frame to a first hinge side rigid frame of the lower horizontal panel;
- a first magnetic strip fixedly attached to a top side of first rigid frame;
- and
- a second magnetic strip fixedly attached to a second vertical side of the first four-sided rigid frame;
- a second four-sided rigid frame located in the middle horizontal panel, the second four-sided rigid frame further comprising:
- a second hinge swingably connecting a first vertical side of the second four-sided rigid frame to a first hinge side rigid frame of the middle horizontal panel;
- a first magnetic strip fixedly attached to a top side of second rigid frame;
- a second magnetic strip fixedly attached to a second vertical side of the second four-sided rigid frame;
- and
- a third magnetic strip fixedly attached to a bottom side of second rigid frame;
- a magnetic strip fixedly attached to a first handle side rigid frame of the lower horizontal panel;
- a magnetic strip fixedly attached to a first handle side rigid frame of the middle horizontal panel;
- and
- a magnetic strip fixedly attached to a bottom side of upper horizonal panel opposite of a top side of the second four-sided rigid frame.
