Abstract: A pair of foot-contacting components are magnetically coupled on both sides of the bottom frame of a corner of a sliding screen door. The magnetic coupling holds the components to one another about the frame and near to the door's lower corner. The components have foot or toe contact surfaces so that either component can be contacted by a foot or toe in such a manner that lateral movement of the user's foot or toe against the component will slide the door open or closed in its trackway. The components are shaped to facilitate contact with the user's toe/foot and are easy to put onto the door and selectively removed. The magnets are molded into components (preferably made of silicone, rubber, hard plastic, etc.) and can be quickly placed onto the door and removed.
