It's no secret that your window screens can take quite the beating no matter the weather. Rain, snow, wind and even excessive heat can easily damage or dirty your screens. That's why it's important to know how to remove a window screen when it comes time to clean it.
Keep in mind, the removal of every window screen is not the same. For each style of window, the screen is removed in a specific way. Don't worry, though. All window screens, regardless the style of your window, are pretty simple to take out and place back in.
Read on for step by step instructions on how to remove a window screen from Feldco with three of our most popular window styles: the double hung, sliding and casement windows.
Caradco Window Replacement Windows We manufacture custom screens and replacement window screen frames for residential and commercial applications. Many consumers do not realize that all our screens are custom screens. Since there are no standard size for replacement window screen frames, we make them to the size you need.
Double Hung Window Screen Removal
The double hung window is the most common window and is most likely the style you have in your home currently. Double hung windows have two operable sashes that slide up and down to provide ventilation. The reason most homeowners love this particular style of window is because both sashes can tilt in and are also removable for easy cleaning.
Knowing how to operate these sashes comes in handy when learning how to remove a window screen from a double hung window, as well.
Another thing to keep in mind is that these steps only apply to half screens which come standard in double hung and sliding windows. If you have a full screen, we'll cover how to remove them later in the article. Stay tuned!
Removal
1. To remove the screen, you have to raise the lower sash of your window completely. Most double hung window screens have two tabs located at the bottom. These tabs should be pushed towards the center so the screen can be raised, as well. Raise the screen about 3 inches so it can be removed easily.
2. Once the screen is raised, grab the bottom of it with your hands firmly. Push the right tab toward middle again but this time compress the entire screen to the left. After this is done, the screen can be pushed out of the window frame. You'll notice two springs on the side on your screen, these are called spring screen clips and are what helps the screen pop out with ease.
3. The final step on how to remove a window screen is to turn the screen sideways and bring it inside so you can clean or replace it.
Reinserting Your Double Hung Screen
1. When you want to return the screen back to its rightful place, make sure the spring screen clips are on the left side and the felt strip at the bottom of your screen is facing you. This is the proper position the screen should be in before you return it.
2. In order to reinsert the window screen, you have to pass the whole thing through your window again. You cannot push it back in without doing this step.
3. Insert the spring screen clips into the left track of your window frame. Pull the right tab toward the center again and compress the screen to left. Then pull the screen toward you and back into place.
Sliding Window Screen Removal
Caradco Window Pane Replacement
Sliding windows, also called sliders, are another common window style and are usually found in tough to reach places, like over the kitchen sink. Sliders are much like double hung windows in how they operate, but design-wise, they're double hung windows flipped on the side. They also add a modern touch to any room they're in.
It's also extremely easy to use a sliding window. All you have to do is release a latch and slide it open horizontally. It doesn't get any simpler than that.
And guess what? You already know how to remove a window screen from a sliding window. That's because the steps taken are almost identical to removing a double hung window screen.

1. The first step is to open one of the sashes of your sliding window all the way. Slide the screen toward the middle of the window.

2. Again, grasp the screen frame but this time push the screen up instead of to the side. The spring screen clips are located at the top of a slider window screen not on the side like a double hung window screen.
3. Push the screen out and twist to bring in towards you.
Reinserting Your Sliding Screen
1. To reinsert, just like with the double hung window, make sure the side of the screen with the felt strip is facing you. Don't forget, the screen springs should be facing the top and not the side.
2. Push the screen outside of your sliding window and then place top into screen track. Push down to secure in track and slide screen back into place.
Casement Window Screen Removal
Another popular window style choice is the casement, or crank out, window. Casement windows are hinged at the side and you can open them by using a hand crank. They're extremely easy to operate and provide a lot of ventilation and natural light.
Even though it might not look like it, learning how to remove a window screen from a casement window is actually not hard at all. The casement window screen is designed to be just like the window itself – easy to use! That being said, the screen is even easier to remove than double hung and sliding window screens.
Removal
1. One thing that's important to know when learning how to remove a window screen from a casement window is that there are tabs located on either side of the screen. These hold the window screen in place and need to be pulled out to release the screen from the frame.
2. Pull out all of the tabs at the same time to pop the screen out then simply remove it from the frame.
Reinserting Your Casement Screen
1. To return the screen, all you have to do is follow the above steps in reverse order. First, insert the screen into the frame.
2. Then once the screen is in the frame, push the tabs in to secure the screen back into place. That's it! Easy, right?
Full Window Screens
If you have opted for full screens in your Feldco double hung or slider windows, don't worry – the steps to remove the screen are just as easy to follow.
Removal
1. The first thing that needs to be done is to tilt down double hung sashes and completely remove sliding window sashes.
2. Once that is done, the full screens that are offered with sliding and double hung windows have very flexible frames. So much so that you can simply squeeze them to pull them into the home. There is a tab you can pull on to make them easier to compress.
Reinserting Your Full Screen
1. Again, follow the steps above in reverse to return your screen. Squeeze and pop back into the frame. It doesn't get any simpler than that.

Replace the 93' 6-point FUHR lock with part #4990237.
Microsoft office for mac 2011 update 14.7.7. This article applies to both lengths of locks. The only difference between the replacement locks is the height of the top extension.
*Note: If replacing locks in French Caradco doors, both the inactive and active locks may need to be replaced. Note that deadbolt of replacement locks extends 1 inch. If you plan on keeping original FUHR inactive lock, make sure 1' deadbolt will be able to fit into mortise in astragal. Instructions on replacing inactive lock component are pending.
Take appropriate safety measures and precautions when removing, changing, cutting and replacing locks. Safety eyewear and gloves are highly recommended, especially when cutting.
Summary of Replacement Process (Detailed Steps Follow)- Remove existing lock.
- Measure and trim new shootbolt extensions.
- Connect gear box and middle extension and install in door.
- Connect/install shootbolt extensions.
- Test lock.
- Check that original strike plate works correctly; if not, adjust as needed.
- Use a pencil to mark handle height and alignment line on edge of door panel before removing lock. New lock has to be installed at same handle height.
- Loosen set screws on base of handles, and remove handles.
- Remove interior / exterior escutcheon plates.
- Unscrew cylinder screw on door edge (where latch is located), and remove cylinder.
- Lock runs entire length of vertical edge of door. Remove all screws.
- Remove the multipoint lock from the door edge.
- Lay new lock parts next to original lock--align the handle-height of the lock bodies (there is a line to indicate handle-height on the front faceplate of the lock body). Note dimension similarities and differences:
- Lock body should be similar length and width.
- Deadbolts are different widths and in different locations.
- Old lock is in one piece; new lock is in 4 pieces:
- Lock body
- Middle extension
- Top shootbolt
- Bottom shootbolt
- Old lock had rollers and shootbolts; new lock has shootbolts but no rollers.
- New lock features a mishandling / anti-slam device; this is a small latch between the spring latch and deadbolt, which keeps the lock from engaging when the door is not closed or flush in the frame.
- Different overall length: when new lock is assembled, it is taller than the original FUHR lock; top and bottom shootbolts will both need to be trimmed.
- Attach (won't stay permanently attached until installed) the new bottom shootbolt to the gear/lock body. Make sure that the faceplate of the gear is flush with the faceplate of the shootbolt.
- Measure how far past the original lock bottom the new new lock extends. It should be approximately 2-3/4' too long, but double-check. Depending on whether your handle is exactly 35-1/2' from the floor, it may be slightly off from that. Mark line where shootbolt must be trimmed with a marker.
- Trim bottom shootbolt.
- Slide teeth of shootbolt so that teeth and faceplate are flush.
- Clamp shootbolt down to a sturdy table or surface.
- Trim shootbolt where indicated using a hacksaw.
- Be careful. Shootbolt WILL be hot after trimming.
- File end of shootbolt so it isn't sharp.
- Attach middle extension to lock body and again make sure that the new and original lock bodies are perfectly aligned at the handle-height.
- Line up extension with notches on lock box, then slide bottom 'bar' of extension (part with teeth) back and forth a bit until the extension fits down into place in the notches of lock box. Tighten screw in place.
- Next, again making sure that the handle-heights of the original and new lock are lined up, attach (won't stay permanently attached until installed) the new top shootbolt to the middle extension.
- On a 77' Caradco door (using kit #4990236 as a replacement), the top shootbolt should be approximately 3' too tall, but double-check. The goal is to make the lock fits the door.
- On a 93' Caradco door (using kit #4990237 as a replacement), the top shootbolt should be approximately 1-3/4' too tall, but double-check. The goal is to make the lock fits the door.
- Trim top shootbolt the same way you trimmed bottom shootbolt.
- Install lock body and middle extension into mortise in door. Loosely screw in place.
- Attach bottom shootbolt, loosely screwing it in place. Make sure that the actual shootbolt tips are not extended when attaching shootbolts. Likewise, the deadbolt should not be extended on the lock body.
- Attach top shootbolt in the same fashion.
- Test lock by inserting spindle and handle into handle-hole. Use cylinder to ensure that lock can be properly secured (lift of handle engages locking points; twist of thumbturn secures lock). **NOTE: mishandling device must be pressed down in order to engage tongue and shootbolt.
- If door functions properly, unlock lock and install and tighten all screws running up and down length of faceplate.
- Reinstall cylinder, trim and escutcheons.
- Old Caradco strike plate will fit new lock, although it may need shifted up or down slightly. If strike plate location needs adjusted, unscrew strike plate, mark where deadbolt hits jamb, use a chisel to notch out existing deadbolt mortise to fit new deadbolt and reinstall strikeplate in new location.
- Strike plate can also be replaced with new HOPPE strike plate. There are many different finishes available here.
