How do I install these screens???

6 years ago

last modified: 6 years ago

We've moved into a 3 year old house that has these screens for the double hung windows. The bottom sash is the movable one and I finally figured out that I have to raise the sash and disengage it for the screen to go in the opening. I can't figure out for the life of me how these little "clips" work to secure the screen in place. Can anyone shed some light on it for me?

I'm sending a photo hoping it may be useful. HELP! :)

Those are corner keys for the screen track to make the structure of the screen.

The screen is probably held in place via tension spring clips.

Just saw your reply...thank you so much. I'm not sure this will work in our case as there isn't a big enough slot to add the springs. But!....you've pointed me in the right direction. I appreciate it!

the juniper with the blight.. or winter damage.. should probably go .... its not worth the effort ... there is a conifer forum.. not all evergreens are conifers... things are done differently with different types ... i suggest pix of individual plants.. to get proper IDs ... in the tree forum.. the conifer forum.. the shrub forum.. and as a last option the name that plant forum .... so you can learn about every individual one.. regardless.. simply maintain the mulch.. keep out the weeds. and enjoy.. as they are all mature plants.. they need ABSOLUTELY NOTHING .... i mean nothing... which is proved by the neglect for the last 6 years.. and how nice it looks i see a rhododendron flowering.. a barberry ... a pine .. a spruce ... most IDs are accomplished with a pic of the bark.. a leaf.. and cones or seed pods if any ... looks like you might have rabbit damage also.. if those are all juniper.. i would plan on getting on with life.. and putting something better in there... the hardest lesson for a new home owner to learn.. in the garden.. is to get rid of the prior owners problems. ... trust me... been there done that good luck ken

lawmar their are servile things you can do. Hold down on the CTRL Key and roll the wheel on your mouse. For a Resolution change. Right click your empty desktop screen - properties - Settings Tab - move the slider bar until it reads 800 X 600 - Click Apply - OK If your using Firefox go to the Toolbar - View - Text size - Increase. For IE6 - Go to View - Text Size - Larger or Largest OR do what Mikie said in your other post.

crichetm look for this key and press it. prt scrn and Sys Rq Your front screen picture goes on your clipboard. To create a clipboard shortcut. Right click your desktop - Go to new - Click shortcut - type - clipbrd - next - Click finish. Your Clipboard shortcut will be on your Desktop. You can open your clipboard to see what you have copied. I prefer ScreenHunter 4.0 to capture small sections of a website for easy croping. http://www.download.com/3000-2192-10063246.html

+1. Unless there are pins or clips, the vast majority of vinyl window screens are side loaded tension springs as demonstrated above.
