Can anyone tell me the best diameter size spline to use with this heavier duty screen? It's for an aluminum window frame (versus a door)...

We used the old spine but it was hard to get it in place. Sorry I can't give you the exact diameter because I'm sure not going to take it apart! These screen replacements are tough to do. Although this screen has held the neighbors dog visiting our cat, the issue with the color variation has not gone away after it has been up awhile. Still have darker stripe marks running down the fabric.

The spline needed is based on the door or window you are taking it out of. If you had 1/8" in there before use 1/8" if you used 5mm before use 5mm. This product does not change the size spline you need. I have some windows in the house that take very small spline and some windows of the same rough size and shape take very large spline- it's all based on the manufacture of your window frame.

Our old spine came off in one piece, so we reused it. But I have to say it was a tight fit. The screen is heavier than your average screen.

I ended up returning mine, it left a 1.5" gap of screen on each side, and animals could damage the screen. That was a long time ago, maybe the manufacturer made improvements to the width, instead of measuring from the aluminum bracket for an entire width.

You just fit the extended piece of rubber into the groove on the end of the screen door metal frame! This product works really well with the metal frame screen doors. You can then shortened the width of the bug flap by tearing pieces off at the perforations to accommodate the sliding glass door. Good product, I hope this helps you!

U would use the 2mm. I've tried the 3mm and it's little wide. I've done quite a few lcd screen replacements and the 2mm has always been a good fit.

LOL just raise your window insert screen pull out the sides so it fits snug close window as far as it will go down...thats it no tools needed...

The aluminum panel should work. As previously stated, please make sure to order the correct height for your door track.

My screen is 12 1/2 inches. My Metric tape is buried somewhere right now (condo reconstruction) so you will need to convert it if you are on the metric system.

Depends on what type of install. Super screen is a bit thicker and stiffer. A thinner spline might be needed.

Yes, I had mine done in less than 5". Instruction are basically the same for either type of sliding window.UPDATED 5/11/2015: This will work in a casement/crank window with a little ingenuity, please see my review on how others solved this problem.

This depends on the exact size of your spline channel. Pet screen is heavier and normally works in a channel larger than 3/16" . Super screen is a product we carry that may work for you. It is a lighter weight pet screen, but is very durable. It is on Amazon or you can order by phone at 1800-413-2579

I have the same issue. My width is 24' frame to frame. How can you pull 24' out of 19'.5"?? That would mean I would have to velcro the stationary glass door. Would look crappy I think.

I'm not sure if I can answer this BUT my window is 28" wide from the outside, they are 10 year old windows so they have a screen that slides up or down, the door was a fraction to small with the side panels so I took off the white side panels ( they are screwed in) and it turns out there are 2 metal push rods top and bottom that move the panels to fit your window, the window just fit into the slot that the screen was in so I pushed up the screen and the little metal rods keep the window in place. I can now open and close the window and that is great since I live in New England and keep the cats in at night. Not sure if that helps but I was able to make it work and then just put foam strips around to help keep out the cold.

There is a maximum width. We cancelled the order and paid to have someone order and install a heavy frameless glass from a glass company. It actually had to be redone 3 times and we didn't have to pay for the mistakes. If your doorframe is not very square I'd suggest paying someone to do it all from order to installation.

There are thick edges where it attach to the frame. You would have to modify it to fit. I would search for a closer size to fit. As for a double garage door the screen was fantastic.

It's been a while since I ordered mine, but I seem to remember there were different sizes available. My screen as a 3/4 inch frame all around. The inside mesh is 22 3/4 inches by 24 1/2 inches. I don't know how you could have more mesh without compromising sturdiness.

As I recall, when I installed mine, the width was just right for a travel trailer door. It may not extend fully for the width of a standard sized house screen door. However, your local big box hardware store should have a what you're looking for at half the price. Good Luck.....

The screen is black, and the size of the spline isn't on the package but I'm guessing it is a 1/4 inch thick and they give you enough to do whatever width and length of screen you order. I would also like to add that I can't exactly remember when I purchased this product but my puppy is going to be three years old and she is constantly standing up on the patio screen , (where I replaced the old screen with this), and it doesn't have one scratch and looks just like the day it was installed. Well worth the price and very easy to install, comes with spline tool.
