Air and light pass through
Unlike a mesh screen or a solid door, a chain curtain leaves the opening open. The breeze moves, the light comes in and the room stays connected to the outside.
American Chain Curtain sells aluminum chain curtains for open doorways, patios and shop entrances, plus the electric and manual fly swatters that deal with the ones that still get in. Pick your width, pick your drop, and let the air through without the insects.
A hanging chain curtain lets people, pets and air through an open doorway while flying insects stay away from the moving, shimmering chains.
Unlike a mesh screen or a solid door, a chain curtain leaves the opening open. The breeze moves, the light comes in and the room stays connected to the outside.
Flying insects steer away from moving, reflective strands. A chain curtain across a doorway cuts the number that get in, without a door to open and close every time you walk through.
Walk through with full hands, let the dog out, push a cart through a shop entrance. The chains part and fall back into place on their own.
Aluminum chains do not rust, rot or fade the way fabric and plastic strips do. Hose them down, wipe them over, and they keep working season after season.
Width and drop in inches, chain material, what comes in the box and how it mounts are listed on every product page, straight from the manufacturer. Nothing is left to guesswork.
Wrong width for your doorway? Send it back within 14 days of delivery, unused and in its packaging, for a refund of the price you paid, on top of your state consumer protection rights.

A chain curtain works by movement and shimmer. Flies and other flying insects avoid the moving, reflective chains, so a curtain across an open doorway cuts the number that get in while people, pets and air still pass through. It is not a sealed mesh, so a few insects can still get past. For a sealed opening use a mesh screen instead, or pair the curtain with a fly swatter for the odd one that makes it in.
Measure the width and height of the opening you want to cover. Most standard US doors are 36 inches wide and 80 inches high, and the curtains on this site are listed in inches so you can match them. A curtain a little wider than the opening gives better coverage at the edges. Many chain curtains can be trimmed to length, and the product page says whether a listing can be cut down.
Most curtains come with a top rail or hanging strip that screws to the door frame or the wall above the opening, with the chains clipped to it. The product page lists what is in the box and the fixing method as the maker publishes it. Where a listing ships chains only, the page says so and you will need a rail.
Yes. The same curtains hang indoors as a divider between a kitchen and a dining area, across a hallway or in front of a storage space. They let light and air through, they do not block the view completely, and they take up no floor space.
Yes, when used as the maker directs. The mesh is only live while the button is held, and most models have a safety switch and an outer guard. Keep them away from children, water and flammable sprays, and never touch the inner mesh while it is charged. The voltage and safety features of each model are on its product page.
A manual swatter is cheap, needs no charging and works anywhere. An electric swatter is faster against flying insects because you do not need a surface to swat against, and it is the better choice for mosquitoes and gnats. Many households keep one of each: a multi-pack of manual swatters for the kitchen, porch and barn, and an electric racket by the back door.
Yes. We deliver to all 50 states, including rural and remote addresses. Standard delivery is free on orders of $60 or more and a flat $22 under that. Every order is tracked. Allow 24 to 48 hours for handling, then 5 to 7 days for delivery.
You can return it within 14 days of delivery, unused and in its original packaging, and we refund the price you paid for the item. You pay the return postage. That is on top of your rights under the consumer protection law of your state if anything arrives faulty, in which case the return is on us.
A chain curtain is a row of fine metal chains hung from a rail across an open doorway. It is the fly screen you see in the doorways of cafes, butchers, kitchens and back porches in warm places, and it does something a mesh screen door cannot: it keeps the opening open. This guide explains what the words on a product page mean, how to measure your doorway, how the curtains mount, and where an electric or manual fly swatter fits in, so you can choose once and leave the door open all summer.
A screen door closes the opening. It has to be opened and shut every time someone walks through, it bangs, it needs a frame, and a dog or a cart cannot get through it on its own. A chain curtain parts as you walk and falls back into place behind you. Air moves, light comes in, and the room stays joined to the yard, the patio or the shop floor. Aluminum chains do not rust or rot, so the curtain lives outside in sun and rain without complaint.
The second reason is the flies. Flying insects avoid moving, reflective strands. A chain curtain across a doorway noticeably cuts the number of flies, wasps and moths that come inside. It is not a sealed barrier, and we say so on every page, which is why most people keep a fly swatter by the door for the few that make it through.
Measure the width of the opening at the top and the height from the rail position to the floor. A standard US interior or exterior door is 36 inches wide and 80 inches high, and most of the curtains on this site are listed around those numbers, in inches. For a wider patio or French door opening, hang two curtains side by side or choose a wider listing. A curtain a little wider than the opening covers the edges better; one that is a little short is fine, since the chains do not need to touch the floor.
Every curtain here is aluminum. It is light, it does not rust, and it is quiet enough indoors. Most are sold in a silver finish; some listings offer black or other colors. The product page states the material and finish as the manufacturer publishes it. Steel chain is heavier and louder and is not sold on this site.
Most chain curtains come with a top rail or hanging strip and screws. The rail fixes to the door frame or to the wall above the opening, and the chains clip or hook onto it. Some listings ship the chains only, so you need to supply a rail. Each product page lists what is in the box and the fixing method. Many curtains can be cut to length with pliers if the drop is too long, and the page says whether a listing can be trimmed.
The same curtain hangs indoors as a divider: between a kitchen and a dining room, across a hallway, in front of a closet or a storage nook, or as a backdrop. It takes no floor space, it lets light through, and it moves out of the way. Choose the drop to suit the ceiling or doorway height.
A manual fly swatter is cheap, needs nothing and works anywhere. We sell them in multi-packs so there is one in the kitchen, one on the porch and one in the camper. An electric fly swatter is a handheld racket with a charged mesh that zaps a fly or a mosquito on contact, with no surface needed to swat against. It is the faster tool against mosquitoes and gnats. The voltage, power source and safety features of each model are listed on its page exactly as the maker states them, and the safety FAQ above applies to all of them.
Hose it down or wipe it over when it gets dusty. Check the rail screws once a season. If a chain comes off, clip it back on. That is the whole maintenance list. Aluminum keeps its finish for years outdoors.
Measure the width and the height of the opening. Pick a curtain at least that wide. Check what is in the box: rail and screws, or chains only. Check the finish. Decide whether you want a fly swatter pack or an electric racket to go with it. Then order, knowing you have 14 days from delivery to change your mind.
Measure the door. Buy a little wider. Aluminum, with a rail in the box. Hang it, leave the door open, and keep a swatter by the frame for the one fly that gets through. Everything we sell lists the size.
