Step 5: Remove the screen window or door from its track. The screen door can
generally be removed by lifting it upward and swinging the bottom outward.
Occasionally the wheels will interfere with removal. In this case, the wheels will need
to be lifted upward to clear the track.
Step 6: Lay the screen window or
screen door on a flat surface with the
screen spline facing upward.
Step 7: Remove the screen spline (the ribbed rubber around the screen)
from the
installation corner. Needle-nosed pliers work very well for removing the screen spline or you can also
carefully use a flat head screwdriver or a putty knife at the corner to get started. If using a screwdriver or
putty knife, be careful not to cut into the spline or slice into the finish of the door frame. HINT: Only
remove the spline from the corner you will be working on, going a little bit farther than the finished size of
the pet door. Leave the spline attached for the moment and just push or fold it out of the way.
