Removing the Handle from a Sliding Screen Door

Video Transcript

"Hey! Don Golden back here with Expert Village and we are continuing on our spline installation with the screen mesh but before you come around this whole edge here, I forgot to do one thing and that is take off the door handle. This is the handle that obviously operates your screen door and locks it. It is kind of seated in there in a way that all you need to do is turn it and then pop it off. There are two plastic parts here so it pops right over and when we come back to putting our spline in, we can just pop that back in when we reinstall it. This is going to make our job a whole lot easier as far as our roller coming around here and getting the spline installed. Let's work on that right now. We made it this far so if you want to keep this thing tight and without any wrinkles, here is a tip for you. Get a couple of clamps like I have right here and clamp it here on one side, pull it tight, tight as you can on the vertical here and let's clamp this and let's clamp it right across here. Okay and we are going to be on our merry way. It is as easy as that. Okay get your tools back here and let's roll. Let's rock and roll some more here. Okay, there we go. Get out of there. We can come back to that right here because this is pulled very tight so it is hard to get that down but once I get all of this in, I'll come back and release clamp and we will have that in there nicely. See how that works? Okay we are just about finished now with the spline around the entire circumference of the screen but what you want to make sure and do is get the corners in right. Now to do that, now this clamp is pulled pretty tight and it is really hard to get it down there. You are not going to do that so take the clamp off. Give it a little breathing room there and this is only going to get your so far, the roller. You want to finish this with a flat head screwdriver. Okay let's just drive that down in there.
