Saint-Gobain ADFORS Standard Screen, 48 Inches x 84 Inches Roll - Replacement Screen for Windows and Doors - Charcoal

-)

Due to a large dog and a small child, we had a few tears in our screen door that eventually led to a very large rip after some time so we finally decided to replace it. If you're not sure how to (as we were) look up replacing screen on screen door on youtube and the videos are very easy to understand and it's a simple, fast job once you know the basics. This was just the right size for our screen door, with a couple inches to spare around the edges. It's very sturdy, even sturdier than our original screen that came with our brand new house, and not to mention a great price. Went in very nicely and seems to stand up to the pressures of kids leaning on it and dogs bumping into it so far.

This roll is enough for one screen door or two medium windows. It looks good, feels strong, and is easy to cut and work with. I don't mind because thankfully the days of metal slivers are over, and this is an easy and inexpensive upgrade. I chose the gray, but honestly can't tell the difference between it and black, either from outside or inside. I just ordered a 25 ft. roll to complete a few more windows and another sliding door. This was my first but came out great. Instructions for rescreening a sliding patio door To remove door from the track, first loosen the screws that hold its wheels on. They may be on top, bottom, or both, so look for a little cutout with a phillips head screw, possibly on the side. There's probably two total. Unscrew almost all the way, then push up on the top and out on the bottom to dislodge from track. You may have to run a flat screwdriver along bottom to help push the wheels up and off the track. I found laying it on carpet or grass works best as it doesn't move around. Lay it flat and starting in a corner, pry up and remove the rubber spline that holds the old screen in. I like to reuse this if possible, but to my surprise there *was* no spline to remove. Luckily I had ordered some just in case, so I tore out the old screen and used a utility knife to clean out the groove. Remove any latching mechanism from the screen as well. Lay the new screen over the door with at least 1 inch extra all around, and tape down four corners for now. I now own the pizza-cutter looking tool, but previously used things like a knitting needle, popsicle stick, ballpoint pen, you get the idea. Anything thin (but not sharp) to help push the screen and spline into the groove. With the tool, they recommend using it first to form the screen into the groove, then laying in the spline. I skip that step and do both at once. Just make sure it's kept somewhat taut and not saggy. You can always reposition and start over, but that's seldom necessary. Cut off excess spline and use a pen in the corners, since tool can't do them. Recheck that spline is seated all around, then run a sharp utility knife or box cutter around the excess screening. Keep any remnants because you never know what you might need them for :) Reattach any latch, put it back on the track top first, and tighten the wheel screws. Easy peasy.

i am happy with this product.

Great product, one of the reviews said it was very dark grey and hard to tell from black which was why I bought it.... It's VERY light grey... Silver grey.

looks awesome:)
