We're just wondering if their really nice or just a pain. we'd like to close them at night but we live on a fixed income and can only afford to buy these doors once. So have the blinds given anyone any trouble? Thanks in advance

My advice, do not purchase them. It is expensive to fix when they break, and they will cease to function at some point. Better to purchase the best doors you can afford that have the heat and light resistant glass.
