This guy is the most wholesome surrogate dad I’ve ever dreamed of lol

When I repair screens, I use blue painters tape to secure the frame to the work surface. I've found that it makes it a lot easier to position the screen material and put on the spline if the frame is held in place.

thank you. I appreciate your genuine dad vibes.

Thanks for believing in me, Lou!

This video is exceptional - your tips were all completely on target. If you need to replace a screen this is the one to watch !!

I saw this video a couple of times and ALL my questions/concerns were addressed. I installed the screen without issues. THANK YOU!

Hi Lou, I tell you thank you again you help me with one other project with the toilet seat a couple years ago so now you help me with this thank you again Lou I took your advice 100% and it worked out beautiful thank you thank you thank you thank you for the screen door tips and buying a bigger roll than you need. It works just like you said and what was ironic was the size of my screen door that I walked into accidentally also had a hole in it when I moved in about 16 years ago, that was nothing but me walking into it last night literallydid it in but anyway so I’m happy I bought the bigger size because my screen door size is 36 inches just like the one you said in the video which was exactly my size so I took your advice 100% thank you Lou You sure made me happy

Wow..... thank you so very much..... he is such a teacher. Absolutely super helpful video from starting to end.

Thank you for this video. I was nervous having to replace my screen on a sliding door, but your video helped me get it done like a pro. Thank you!!!!!

Great video! Thank you. What helped me get the screen nice and flat is this: I did a long side to start, just as in this video. Then, giving lots of slack on the spline, I tacked down the opposite long side in a few spots with the spline to ensure a nice and flat screen. Then I came around the first short side. Then the second long side, popping out the tack points as I approached them. Then the final short side. Voila, new screen door.

Thanks Lou. I did is myself with your help. I usually am no good at handyman stuff. Thanks!! I did myself and it only was $30 total.

Helpful. You should mention the two tools needed. Taping the screen down prior to start is a help.

Great video! Mission accomplished!

Thank you very much! This was very helpful. Saved me time and money!! God bless

Thank you. You make it look so easy but I’m sure it’s not. I’ll try and follow your instructions and do my very best. 😊

I love the hometown friendliness of Ace. Always someone there to help.

Worked great, great instructions! Getting the screen door out was tricky though -- mine had a screw on the side of the door to adjust the wheel height, which allowed me to get it out

Thanks this worked perfectly once I got the old seal out!

thank you . Great instructions.. off to Ace I go to get supplies to do this

Great video explanation of screen replacement. Thank you

Very insightful! Now I did it myself rather than dragging a whole door to Ace!!

Super helpful video. Just did mine. Came out really good. Thanks for making this video.

very easy to understand. thanks!

I can't believe you did this on a folding table.

Very helpful video, saved a few bucks doing it myself!!

I’m looking after my parents’ place while they’re on vacation and their cats decided that it would be fun to completely shred the lower half of the screen door, so this might be a real lifesaver.

Very good explain thanks sir

be sure that the spline goes all the way down. It can trick you and make you think its down when its only half way down, one reason to keep the screen loose and not tight, since it will tighten on its own as it goes down into the channel.

Amazing video. Ace is the best.

Great video, well explained and right to the point- thanks!

very helpful thank you

Nice. It helped a ton.

Thanks for the great information! Will tackle this in a couple of months once things warm up just before spring. Lou, I kind of feel like you must be from the Ohio/Indiana/Illinois area? I recognize your accent as being common in those locations. Always love stopping by my local Ace as opposed to the so-called "big box retailers". Thanks again.

Thank you and wish me luck !

Thanks Dude! And Thanks Ace !

The bottom part of the door. Is it the kicker?

I did same way but after I was done saw middle of the frame both sides bent inwards making space on one side I redid leaving screen free n loose same thing please advise

Does the screen have to be tightened as in pulling on the screen when you’re putting in the spline?

Out standing

Thanks a lot, man! I was struggling to press in the spline then came here and found out there are different spline diameters... How can I determine the correct diameter for the spline?

You forgot to show the most important step of the process - how to take the screen door off from the frame.. that was most frustrating part for me

Very good.

There's no more time for cryin'

What if you don’t have a spline tool. Can I use a flathead?

Are you using the groove side to install Sir?

Take example with that size, how much do they charge in Ace Hardware?

Having just done a replacement screen on my door, I'm surprised he didn't say to use clamps to hold the screen in place. It's nearly impossible to get the right level of tautness on the screen, especially for anything larger than a small window screen. Get yourself some clamps and the job will be much easier.

Getting the spline out was a pain! It was so dry that it came out in crumbles. That alone took an hour.

I have my door patio to be fix, the screen was rip off because of too old, what size of door spline you use?

The spline tool should be wider so it can't slip off side of spline.

Put a piece of cardboard on the screen when cutting off the excess.

It's infuriating watching you press that in so easily. I'm using the spline that came with the door and it is a pain to get back in.

This guy looks like alternate universe Dan Patrick where shit didn’t work out.
