Question:

I have a screen insert that goes in my front door, after I take out the glass insert. The problem is getting the right amount of tension to keep the screen square to fit back into the door, The frame is about 1 to 1 1/4" wide so it is very flexible and the screen always seems to pull seems to pull the frame in even though I put a piece of wood in the middle to hold it. Any ideas to fix this problem?


When you replace the screen cloth, you have to clamp the material down all around with spring clamps so its absolutely flat and square to the frame.

Dont try to stretch the material when you roll it in with the screen roller. Keeping it flat is 90% of the battle.
