It was a perfect day for replacing a large screen on a door today. Kudos to Home Depot for carrying a relatively inexpensive screen replacement kit! A perfect size for the 34" X 84" door I needed to fit.
I removed the door off of its hinges, laid it on a flat surface, removed the old torn screen and any protruding hardware that could puncture the new screen and began laying it out over top of what is obviously a home made/built to fit door.
One thing to be careful of when replacing a screen is to make sure the screen is pulled taught while installing the spline. From there just use one end of the provided tool, feed the spline into the groove and follow through with the other end while tucking the spline in (see photos below). As this is done the spline pulls the screen in nice and tight. There are a few other things to know, but I'm not going to bore you on it. We'll keep today's blog short & sweet, but thanks for reading!
