Remove Damaged Screen

Discolorations, snags and tears are the result of regular wear and tear on the screens of home windows and doors (Paradigm ane). To replace a door screen in its existing frame, lay the frame and damaged screen down on a big flat surface. If the spline is still intact, pull it costless to release the erstwhile screen (Image 2).

Cut New Screen

Extend a length of new screen to overlap the frame (Image i). Trim the screen to size, leaving a 1/2-inch overlap on all edges (Image 2). The screen will become more than taut as y'all install it so you volition end up with excess all around, but trimming the screen too short leaves yous at risk of non having enough screen available to reach all edges.

Attach Screen to Frame

The screen spline installation tool has both convex and concave rollers on information technology that make information technology easy to wedge the spline into the frame to secure the new screen (Image 1). Begin by holding the spline (be it a new length, or the spline that you removed in Step 1 if it is in reusable condition), and align it over the screen and groove in the frame (Image ii). Use the concave end of the tool to press it into position, rolling slowly along the whole length of the frame (Image 3). Agree the screen taut with one hand while yous roll with the other, or else you may discover that the screen bunches in some areas (Prototype 4). As you reach the corners of the frame, force the spline into a right angle, and use the convex roller to press information technology in (Image five). Roll over the length of the spline with the convex roller to ensure that it is completely pressed into the frame.

Trim Actress

Use the utility knife to cut off whatever excess of spline and screen (Image 1). To remove the extra screen, slice along the within of the frame higher up the spline for a overnice, clean edge (Epitome ii).
