How do you install a screen door insert?

• <div><p>If your door has interchangeable inserts, you’ll likely want to swap the glass out for a screen during the summer months. The process to do so will vary by door, but you’ll follow these general steps: First, use a flathead screwdriver to pop out the retainer strips—the plastic strips running down both long (and sometimes all four) sides of the door. Then gently pull them out by hand. Carefully remove the glass insert from the door and replace it with the screen. Finally, push the plastic retainer strips back into place, working from top to bottom. </p></div>

Do awning windows have screens?

• <div><p>Awning windows can have screens, but it depends on your manufacturer. If your awning window does have a screen, it will be on the interior side so it doesn’t get in the way when you crank the window open. Having the screen on the inner part of the window also makes it easier to clean from inside your home. </p></div>

What are solar screens?

• <div><p>Solar screens use a thick mesh of polyester to block out the UV waves and solar heat. While they are more expensive at about <b>$7.50 per square foot</b>, they can protect your porch or hardwood floors from sun damage and keep the room or porch on the other side of the patio cool.</p></div>

The hinge on my laptop snapped, and I wasn't sure if was able to be repaired. Alan walked me through all of the steps he would need to take to repair it. He attached the hinge back to my screen, and I able to close it again.
