    FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO SAY YOUR SCREEN SEEMS BIGGER THAN THE WINDOW SLOT: freaking I finally figured it out. you need to fit one top corner into place by holding it super diagonally, then you place other top corner into the frame. After that you realign the frame making it undiagonal and as you fit both top corners in. pull up the tabs on the bottom to fit the other half in. DONE, I FINALLY DID IT

What would be a second option for this dilemma?

    • @Iscaper
      @Iscaper  10 ปีที่แล้ว

      On our windows that are high off the ground the tabs are on the inside for ease of removal. On the bigger windows on the deck the tabs are on the outside of the screen for the same reason. I use window secondary locks with thumbscrews on the glass frames of those windows to prevent someone from breaking in.

      If it's a sliding glass door you could either cut a pipe of pipe or wood that would sit in the track behind the door to keep it from sliding open, or even use a secondary lock with thumbscrew and fasten it to the track edge just behind the door that slides.

The screens are one solid piece as well, so they would have to be bent and forced back in and I don't want to try and fall off the ladder

    I have the two clips and they are on the side of the screen. I am on the second floor and live in a co-op. I could not for the life of me get the screen back in after repairing it. I spent almost an hour trying to get the stupid thing back in but could not from the inside. I also have NO tabs. In the process of pushing, pulling, tugging, I now have the screen half in and half out, jammed in on one side and I cannot get it out. I wanted to avoid going to the super tomorrow but I am afraid if I pull and tug any more I will break the frame. I already think I broke one of the medal clips and that's why it is jamming now. Any suggestions? I managed to get screen out with no problem, but no way going back in.

    • @Iscaper
      @Iscaper  10 ปีที่แล้ว

      If you don't have the tabs to pull on then you might have to use a flat blade screwdriver to pry on the opposite side of the frame to get the spring clips to compress. Also double check that you don't have dirt built up or some kind of obstruction in the frame slot the screen goes into.

  • @OrangeeJuiicee
    @OrangeeJuiicee 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    • @Iscaper
      @Iscaper  10 ปีที่แล้ว

      The metal spring clips on the opposite side should push the ends with the tabs into the groove. Can you hold the tabs and wiggle the corners into place opposite the spring clips?

    • @OrangeeJuiicee
      @OrangeeJuiicee 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah I can and I get the springs in first, and then I try pulling the tabs in and it goes in partially but then the corners hang out like I bent it.

      If the corners are sprung a little bit you might have to take a flat blade screwdriver to get them in.

    How do you remove the screen if it doesn't have the tabs to pull up on?

    • @Iscaper
      @Iscaper  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Smaller flat blade screwdriver works.

    One thing I discovered is that it can go in backwards. On my screen, I had to pull back the springs with a screwdriver and pull it out on that side. I turned it around and was able to do as in the video. Having it the other way, there's no possibility of getting it out by pulling on the tabs. Weird.

    What if you only have but 1 of those compression clips and also don't have them tabs at the bottom.

    • @Iscaper
      @Iscaper  10 ปีที่แล้ว

      If the tabs are missing you'll have to take a flat blade screwdriver and carefully pry down (or up) on the screen on the opposite end of screen from where the clip is. Once the edge of the screen clears the window frame you can pull it out.

    I have window screens from the mid-1970s; they only have two sliding tabs that move in and out on one vertical side (i.e., on the right, when working from inside) and NO springs whatsoever. There is some tension built into the design to aid in removal/reinstallation. It was miserable getting them out, and I've just about given up trying to put them back in place. There must be a simple method way to reinstalling them, but it's difficult working alone. You have to work one side in, then bend them a lot to get them to fit in place. It feels like I'm close to leaving a permanent kink in the frame, so I back off. They were just re-screened at Ace Hardware, and now I can't reinstall them. I spent almost two hours trying from the inside, then going back outside to reinstall them before I gave up. This is a job that either takes less than five minutes for a professional to do, or four hours if you're a neophyte. So far, I haven't found a video that addresses my type of window screens. I'd appreciate usable advice from professionals who have dealt with this issue. Thanks.

    oh man..... good video, but!!! but.... it's never works so easy (maybe its just for me) but I always have to bend frame either pull out or place in back in.... literally every time i have band the frame, do you know why screen always seems to be bigger.....
    anyways .... i going to make my own windows screens this time and it will be a bit smaller

      Melina Diaz has a good point, you need to tuck one corner in first then the other corner will go in.

  • @sastath

    but what about a fitted window. a screen that has edges on all sides. and is fitted in on all sides to the window?

    • @Iscaper
      @Iscaper  10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Good question, I've never had window screens like you describe. Might be worth a call to a glass company on how to remove that type of screen.

  • @Cluetube
    @Cluetube 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    lmao mines isn't the size of the whole window & my little metal-bops were on the side instead of the top. im also on the second floor so i couldn't go outside to do it. finally got it fixed tho
    one of the metal-bops were slipped to the side so when i thought it was actually in, the higher one was out by just a little bit & messed up any chance of me pushing it in, but the method pretty much works the same for the sideways ones too.

  • @YourGreatPotential
    @YourGreatPotential 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    No tabs here and compression clips are on the side (versus the top). Thing is, while the screen is the same size as the one it is to replace it just does not seem to fit, not from the inside nor the outside.... I know it doesn't make sense but it appears to be too tall as I haven't been able to fit the full length of the side where the clips are into the window.

    • @Iscaper
      @Iscaper  10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Do you have a build up of dirt in the bottom track that's keeping you from getting the top and bottom in? If not double check the dimensions of the new screen with the opening.

    • @YourGreatPotential
      @YourGreatPotential 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      No dirt; the aluminum of the frame is not allowing the screen to be pushed over. I will again hold the old one up to the replacement to double check size.
      Yes, it is the same size, but old one had no tabs nor clips. New one has clips and plastic corners.

      The windows that are 10' above the ground I have the tabs on the inside so I can remove the screens from the inside of the house. The rest of the windows I have the tabs on the outside so I can remove the screens from the outside of the house.

    Update: I had to use a butter knife to wedge out the tabs.

      On my screens that the tabs are broken off I use a smaller flat blade screwdriver.
