Putting screens back on windows


















Take your time with this step. If you go to fast or push too hard, the screen may rip on the inside of the frame and then you have to start all over. Screening is a slow patient process; take your time and do it right the first time. Do the opposite edge the same way. Take the clamps off the screen. Stretch the screen over the frame so it's taut, and then press the screen into the frame's groove with the roller tool. Apply the spline, and press it in as well, using the other side of the roller tool.

If you're using aluminum, you'll have to cut new screen if you make a mistake. Repeat the process for the other 2 edges. Pull the screen tight over the frame on one edge, and roll it into place. Roll the spline into place, too. Do the same on the other side, avoiding wrinkles as you go by pulling it as tight as you can. Slice off the excess screen and press the spline into the corners. Cut off any excess spline first.

Lay the knife flat on the top of the spline, and direct the blade towards the frame. Cut along that edge to trim off the excess screen. With a screwdriver, tuck the spline in at the corners if it's sticking up. Just press down with a screwdriver so the spline will stay nicely in place. Make sure you use a sharp blade, as a dull one will just drag the screen along, not cut it. Method 2. Pay attention when you take the screens out.

Some screens only go back in one way, and if you don't put them back in the same way, they aren't going to stay. Look at the screen when you're pulling it out, and mark the top of the screen if you need to. If you forgot to look at the screen when you took it down, pull out another one to see how it goes in place. The spline will always face outward. Start from the top. It's usually easiest to begin from the top of the window and work your way down.

However, as you slide it into place, make sure the pressure clips are falling into the proper track on the right. Most often, the springs should go to the right when looking at the window from the outside.

Check the springs or pressure clips if it won't go in. These springs look like little metal strips that create a curve on one edge. Sometimes, the clips pop out of place.

They should be against the outside edge only, not flopping to the left or right. Place 2-part screens in like a puzzle. The top screen will have a lip at the bottom that goes over the bottom screen. The pressure clips, if the screen has them, need to be to the right when looking at the window from the outside. Press the pressure clips into the track on the right, then press in the left top corner. Push the screen to the top without pressing in the bottom left corner.

Push the screen all the way over to the right. Press the bottom left corner in, while still keeping the top screen's bottom corner and the bottom screen's top corner out a bit. Once the bottom left corner is in, press on the left middle part where the corners meet to set it in place.

Set in a 1-part screen with the springs to the left from the inside. If you need to put the screen in from the inside, the springs should be on the left.

Slide the top part of the screen out the window, and bring it back flat against the window. Set the screen in the tracks with the springs in place. Lift the screen up the window, and set it in place from the top if you can. You can do this from the outside, or if your house has windows that open from the top and bottom, from the inside. Method 3. Remove the wooden window frame from the window, if possible. Removing the screen and working on a flat surface will be much easier than attempting to work with the screen while it is still in the window.

Pry the molding out of the window that's holding the screen in place. Use a thin pry bar to gently pull up the molding. It's important to be gentle because you want to be able to use the molding again.

Once you get the molding out, tap the nails on the pointed end and remove them with a hammer. Take the old screen off the frame. Use the claw side of a hammer or pry bar to pull out the staples or nails that hold the screen in place. As you do, the screen should start to come off the frame. Pull it up, and set it aside to discard it later. Cut a piece of screen to fit the frame. Leave at least 1 to 2 inches 2. It's better to cut more than you need than to have to cut it again because you don't have enough.

That will make it easier to attach the screen. Starting stapling or nailing at one edge of the right angle. Lay the right angle of the screen into a corner, fitting it into the grooves for the screen, and staple it on the short side of the corner.

Staple the other side of the corner into place, and start working along that long edge, pulling the screen taut as you go. Make sure the staples are as flat as possible against the frame.

Set the top in place with staples or nails. Go along the short side connected to the right angle. Slide the new or repaired screen up into the top of the window frame while grasping the screen's base. Maneuver the screen's base with the lift tabs into the window's frame. Release the upward motion on the lift tabs. Allow the screen's frame to gently drop down into the window's frame. Visually inspect the frame's position in the window. Slide the frame slightly from side to side to center it in the window's opening, if necessary.

There should be no large openings for pest infiltration. Some screens are equipped with plunger pins rather than lift tabs. In these cases, simply press the pins into the frame with your fingers as you lift the screen out of the window. The removal and replacement process are essentially the same for both the tabs and plunger pins.
