REPAIRING WINDOW SCREENS
Easy steps to follow
Replace sagging, torn and rusty screens
Most screens are easy to remove and replace. The frames will be either wood or metal and the screens with either be aluminum or fiberglass. Chances are, the frames themselves will not need attention nearly as often as do the screens but cleaning the track they rest in will keep the dirt from accumlating, and allows them to fit tightly
Begin by using a screwdriver to pry up the spine that runs around the perimeter of the frame.
Pull out the spine and remove the old or damaged screen fabric with new screen fabric over the frame. Using a sharp utility knife or scissors, trim it so that it is just slightly larger than the frame (about 1/2" inch). Then snip off the corners. (the piece cut off will shape a triangle)
With the convex wheel of a screen-spline roller, force the screen into the spline channel. Then push the spline back in and using the roller's concave wheel, force the spline into place by stretching the fabric taut. Cut off the excess fabric with a utility knife.
(If the screen frame is bent - consider replacing it rather than repairing. It just isn't worth the effort to reshape it)
