This 52yr old lady tackled this project with help from your video. Couple pointers to add - pay attention to how the door is positioned on the track when taking it off. I didn't realize on mine the wheels go at the top. Also, a good chance to give your door edges and handle a good cleaning before putting the new screen on.
When you try to take an old spline out, look for the starting point where the old spline was started. When you find that point, use that hook tool to get that spline out. Once you pull that starting point out, grab with your hand and it is easy to take the whole spline out.
Wordsnwood (Art Mulder) yep..... it only took 5 mins to pull the old spline out. Ive replaced a screen in my last house. It was alot easier then this one was
Pet proof?? HA! Nothing is pet proof against a Golden Retriever that wants to come back inside to get her food. She simply raises a front paw up and her (trimmed) nails rip it right to shreds. Then she looks at me while i yell at her like, "yo, your door has a hole in it. You should fix it". 🤦♂🤦♂
Removing the spline was easy since it all stayed in one piece for me. However, rolling in the new spline was over an hour of sweat and aggravation. Thank you for the explainer video though!
I’ve been putting off doing this for awhile but your video made it look not so bad. But did you have to keep the screen pulled snug as you put the spline in or does it kind of take care of itself?

All good points! Glad the video was of help!

Wes, i appreciate leaving dried out spline in the video. Too many other DYI vids do these hard cut edits. You know shit went wrong 😂
Thanks for sharing, you made this project less intimidating for an idiot like me. Now to just do it. Cheers.
Nice job, going to get a replacement screen kit and will do it my self.
Thank you very much for showing the way! :)
Thanks! Great video! Very helpful
When your old spline is stubborn, run your blade down the groove and it usually helps removal.
Nicely done! 😃👍🏻👊🏻
Fred McIntyre thank you Fred!
"this is going to be easy" ... spline falls apart ... "This is going to be a pain"... Been there, done that. :-D

Nice instructional video.
Thanks
they now make a pet proof screen that I am going to try to put on today, your video was a great help to me, thank you!
That’s funny you mentioned that. I need to replace this screen again (dumb dog) I am going to replace it with the pet proof one

You can put a screen door grill on the outside. It doesn’t necessarily look nice but it may save you from having to replace the screen frequently.
Hey thanks for this!!!
Awesome!! Buying one of these kits tomorrow! Looks fairly easy 😝

Your new spline was likely the wrong size of it was that hard.
Thanks for sharing ❤
Thank you kind sir!
Thank I will try to replace mine, it seem not so difficult to fix it.
Awesome. I need to replace a few window screens. What if the entire frame came apart?

Nice! I was trying to buy new spline, but they have different sizes, what size did you use? Flat or round ?Thanks 😊
FYI I fine needle nose pliers works very well to remove the old spline
Claro!, molesta por malditos mosquitos, listo👍
Adrián Peralta i dont know what you said. I am assuming its good because of the thumbs up. Thanks
TY
How long did this take?
10-15 min
So stupid question but do you have to remove the screen door to fix it? Is there any way you can do all that without removing the door ?
Yes, you have to remove it. It’s super easy. Just lift up on the door and pull the bottom out.
Thank you!!!! Lol@cricket
