    After 1.5 hours of fumbling around and not getting it quite right, I went to TH-cam. Found this video and was done in 30 minutes. Turned out way better than it would have otherwise. Very helpful. Thank you very much!

    I've done this project before, but as it has been a while, I decided to watch some youtube videos for refresher training. This is the only one I've seen where the spline is cut into 4 pieces. In all the other videos the spline is kept in one piece and is run around the perimeter. I tried his method and it worked perfectly. Thanks, screen dude.

    I watched 2 or 3 videos before yours, but yours was the best one because you demonstrated and explained the process much better than the others. Each of the others obviously do it for a living because they had the material and tubing on rolls to the one side of their work table, whereas you not only used a kit, but you let the viewer know that there is a kit, and that some come with a roller. Thank you so much!

    Just a suggestion. Make sure when you are screening the longs sides of the door(or any screen) it doesn't bow in on you. This will happen if you pull the fiber too hard. And this will matter because when you go to reinstall your screen door and you go to shut it the reveal will be the same. This will be an important key if you want your screen door to lock. So make sure you also have a measuring tape with you when you screen, so you can measure the width in two spots. The top or bottom doesn't matter and the middle and make sure the measurements are measured the same.

    Great video, helped a lot. My knees don't let me spend that much time on the floor so I matched up two patio tables and taped the door to the tables.
    Keep in mind that if your door is older than 10 years and the latch has plastic parts they may be brittle and break as you remove them or re-install them. A new latch is cheap enough that you might want to have one on hand just in case.
    My repair was because our lab "puppy" decided that we should have a pet door there and made one.
    For this job I replaced the torn screen with pet screen. I am also installing a pet guard and putting a doggy door through it. The pet screen is a little harder to work with but should hold up to the dog and the kids much better.

    Thank you so much for a clear and easy to follow video. I stood in line yesterday at a large local big box hardware store and checked the price and lead time to have a patio door re-screened. In the process I saw the very poor quality of their work. After hearing I would have to leave the screen for at least two weeks I asked for DIY tips and was told that any re-screening will look "crappy" whether they do it or I do. SAY WHAT?
    I went home, found your video, went out and bought your products, and just did a beautiful job of re-screening my patio door screen in about twelve minutes. I can't thank you enough. It looks like new. No "crappy" factor at all.

    • @PrimeLineHowTo
      @PrimeLineHowTo  10 ปีที่แล้ว

      The beauty of it is, even if you mess up the first time, you just pull the spline out and try again. (This is assuming you haven't already cut off the remainder screen from around the edges)
      Glad we could help you out and give you the courage to try it yourself.

  • @PrimeLineHowTo
    @PrimeLineHowTo  11 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Best advice I can give you is that when you're pulling the screen, before running the spline into the groove, pull a little harder. Now, if you pull too hard, the frame can/will bow in and you'll have perfect screens for hourglass shaped windows. :-)

    • @Reloadeez
      @Reloadeez 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Make sure it's not tight if your adding a screen door protector also. I see alot of people put them tight because the protector will re square the frame. The problem is it puts pull pressure on the screen at the splines and over time will stretch it out. So now you have the opposite, a saggy screen.

    I spent a lot of time trying to remove the door by loosening the screws at the bottom and using a putty knife to try and get under the wheels without success. I was careful in pushing on the spline standing up as I did not want to bend the door.In the closed position, the door is supported on three sides. Handle was recessed into frame so that saved a step. The $9 kit I bought included screen, the tool and new spline, however the spline was too thick for my door and I just reused the old one.

    If you have indoor-outdoor carpeting, let's say in your patio, that works great for a working surface. I had to redo my patio door and it used a 1/4 thick, flat spline, which wasn't easy to push down into the gutters, but I managed to do it. If my roller had been an industrial strength one, it might have made it easier. I just had the smaller one that I had used for my window screens. They used a round narrow spline.

    My 6 year-old is asking, however, what the scissors were for.

    • @PrimeLineHowTo
      @PrimeLineHowTo  9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The scissors aren't necessary, but some people use this kit for screening windows, or doors that are smaller. In those cases it's sometimes easier to use scissors to cut out a smaller piece of screen before starting.

  • @kat4u2luv
    @kat4u2luv 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Oh and I used the aluminum screen for the patio door, with 3mm spline. If anyone out there uses this, be careful around the edges, got at least one or two pieces stuck in my skin in the process. Tried to use my work gloves, but they were too bulky, so as long as I stayed away from the edges as much as possible, I was ok.

  • @PrimeLineHowTo
    @PrimeLineHowTo  12 ปีที่แล้ว

    Sorry for the late reply. Cutting the spline ahead of time is just easier for some people. It's a little rough rolling the spline around the corners, and sometimes you'll have to use something to poke the spline down into the corners. Either way is just as secure.

    You don't have to pull it too tight before rolling the spline in. Rolling the spline in will tighten the screen quite a bit. You just want to make sure there are no wrinkles in the screen, and that you're pulling on it with a little pressure when rolling the spline.

    Thats awesome. Taping the door was great idea. I replace all the screens at home. Thanks for the information.

    In addition, the tips were so good such as taping, I did the second door in place, standing up. My door refused to come out, slides nicely and so I rescreened vertically.

    Thank you so much. I am guessing it doesn’t matter if the screen side you are working on is the inside or the outside? Maybe that will be clear to me when I start thank you again

    Thank you, this was very helpful. I probably got too large gauge of spline, so make sure you compare the one you are replacing. Thanks again!

    This is a great video. Very well explained and very professional. I followed all the steps and I think I didn't do so bad for a first time. I have a question though, what do I do to get the screen real tight?
    Thank you

    • @PrimeLineHowTo
      @PrimeLineHowTo  10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Well, technically you don't want the screen REAL tight. If you put the screen in too tight, either on window screens or door screens it can bow the frame inwards and you start to get an hourglass effect. That's why on large window screens we use a cross brace to keep the frame square. On door screens, the frame is much thicker, but it can still be bowed in if the screen is real tight.
      You just want to pull on the screen slightly right as you're rolling the spline in at that part of the screen frame.

    Good video, Thanks !!! I have the steel roller instead of the plastic one, but will get the plastic one for this. Oh, what about the different sizes of spline to use? Just take an old piece of spline and match it up I guess?

    great video! I just thought I'd mention that home depot, lowes, any good hardware store sells these heavy duty screens that can screw into the bottom third of your screen door to prevent your doggie from breaking through again...Believe it or not, there was a trapped rat that tore through mine during the night hours...My pooor puppy got blamed until I found the other evidence!
    They are called Screen Tight 36" Pet Dog Grille.

    Thanks so much. Just saved $ doing it myself. Taping everything down made a difference. Easy process.

    • @PrimeLineHowTo
      @PrimeLineHowTo  10 ปีที่แล้ว

      We sell screen tables for people doing professional re-screening but for the person who just wants to re-screen a few screens the tape works great.

  • @PrimeLineHowTo
    @PrimeLineHowTo  13 ปีที่แล้ว

    @ouluvme2 The ripples you see are actually wrinkles on the white drop cloth we have under the screen to keep from scratching the screen frame.
