    This is the fourth video I’ve watched on how to wrangle these screens and it’s by far the best, because you explain and demonstrate everything so clearly. I’m saving your video, because I just know I’m going to need a refresher course in the future.
    Thank you!!

    Thanks, this helped quite a bit, particularly the bit about having to hold the screen up in the upper-left when putting it back in. I'd had quite a bit of difficulty getting my screens back until I watched this.

    Thank you SO much! I have had these bustard window screens for decades, and absolutely dread having to take them out. At least I now know that these screens are, actually, a real bugger to get in and out. I thought it was just me.
    At least your tips make it easier, if possible. These things should be outlawed.

      Unfortunately, it's not uncommon for vinyl windows to "shrink" in size or shift/move over many many years of heat cycles causing the window to compress in on the window screen making the screen seem tight. If this happens to us we free the screen and then cut it down 1/16" to 1/8" to make sure it's easier going in and out for the future.

    Can the screens be removed from the outside? If someone tried to break in?

    • @ScreenMedic
      @ScreenMedic  2 роки тому +1

      It depends on the window manufacturer. Some screens do come off from outside and some from the inside.

    Those plastic tabs are so damn easy to break

    • @ScreenMedic
      @ScreenMedic  3 роки тому

      Agreed, the sun breaks them down and makes them very brittle. They make metal ones but they end up getting super scratched up and they also make rubber ones but they don't fit in all the frames.

      There's literally 100s of different screens for all different manufacture years and models. I have a few other tricky ones on our channel, but defiantly not all. Maybe you have already figured out how to remove them? ua-cam.com/channels/zWSrasR1w9YdEr9vZMhBzg.html

      @@jamesgentry13 if there are tabs there usually are springs. Sometimes pushing on the frame side where the springs are helps loosen them. There have been a good handful of screens we screen in place due to them getting stuck in place as well.
