Abstract
A control assembly for a pocket-style screen or door. Top and bottom guide rollers carried by the screen travel along adjustable guide rails mounted in the pocket. A magnet assembly includes a stationary magnet mounted in the pocket wall arranged to attract a moveable magnet carried on a cable to facilitate final opening and closing the screen. A damper cooperates with the magnet assembly to decrease the velocity of the screen as it moves into stowed and deployed positions.
