Simple Screen Repair

For some reason one of my screens had a broken frame, I picked up a new frame section at HD (Home Depot) and carefully lifted the rubber edging out which holds the screen, then pulled the frame apart. I measured the length of the good one and cut the new one to length and placed it within the frame. If your frame does not have joints you may need to take it all apart, buy joints and cut all your pieces to size. Spline Rubber edging comes in two sizes so the frame is meant to fit either. In this case, my rubber edging is the larger size so after I cut my frame I used a wide blade screw driver to pry the grove wider to match the old grove the entire frame length. This makes it way easier to get the rubber edge back in. Using my spline roller I pushed the Spline Rubber edging in place, simple, easy and off my list.
