Are you in search of tools that can make window screen replacements easier? We offer a collection of different types of window screens hardware. They’re made of durable materials and designed for easy use, making them suitable for replacement window screen projects.
Say goodbye to frustration and hello to convenience with our wide range of screen replacement equipment.
Corners
These are used for assembling the screen frame by joining the frame pieces at the corners. This secures the frame pieces and keeps the entire structure firm.
How does this hardware make screen frame assembly easier? It removes the need to measure and cut the frame pieces at an angle for a perfect fit. This is a complex process which requires experience.
You’ll find this equipment piece in two forms:
External corners: These join the corners of the screen frame, making assembly easier without needing to cut angles.
Internal corners: Fit inside the frame, giving it extra strength and a clean look without any exposed parts.
Pull Tabs
This accessory comes in handy for installing replacement window screens on a screen frame. All you have to do is place the pull tabs in the spline channel of the screen frame with the channel side facing up.
With it, you can easily replace window screens, as this hardware tool provides a secure grip to the screen material and spline.
Springs and Clips
If your window screens are becoming loose or sagging, springs and clips can help. These provide tension, holding the screen material firmly in place within the screen frame.
Types of springs and clips include:
Slide-in leaf spring: Slide onto the frame at the corners to create tension on the window screen.
Tension spring: Fit into a notch in the screen frame to create tension on the window screen.
Rams Horn Clip: Hold the window screen fiber firmly in place by gripping the external surface of the screen frame.
Metal Casement Clip: Used for securing large window screen frames or solar screen frames into the window frame.
Latches
Like springs and clips, latches work by securing the screen to the window frame so that it doesn’t get loose. These come in many forms, including:
Butterfly Latches: These are inserted into a small groove or notch on the screen frame. Once inserted and engaged, they grip the screen frame, securing the window screen in place.
Acorn Latches: Use a small screw or pop-rivet for attaching to the exterior edge of the screen frame. They secure the window screen firmly in place within the window frame due to their turning action.
Slide Latches: Slide into the screen frame to secure the screen material in place.
Bail Loop Latch: Comes in two styles: spline-on or slip-on. These work in the following way:
Spline-on: Insert the screw into the bottom window sill. Fit the bail loop on the top of the screw head so that it fixes the window screen in place.
Slip-on: The screw is inserted into the bottom of the screen frame. Then, slide the bail loop over the top of the screw head to lock the window screen in place.
Spring Plunger
Spring plungers consist of a plastic cap, a spring, and a metal plunger. They hold the screen in the window frame by exerting pressure on the window track and screen frame.
Self Tapping Screws
Need screws that drill into screen frames with ease? You can use self-tapping screws without drilling the holes first. These hardware pieces work best for screwing in casement clips or when securing screens to the screen frame.
Crossbar and Grid Clips
Crossbar clips: Hold the window screen’s crossbar in place.
Grid clips: Secure the grid bars onto the window screen frame.
Plastic Screen Wicket
If your window screen blocks access to the cranks of your awning or casement window, a screen wicket can help. They provide easy access to window cranks and other operators behind the window screens of awning windows.
