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>

Q: How do you install a screen door insert?

The process to do so will vary by door, but you&rsquo;ll follow these general steps: First, use a flathead screwdriver to pop out the retainer strips&mdash;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>

Q: Do you have to take window screens down to clean them?

• <div><p>No, but removing window screens will achieve a deeper clean. If you aren&rsquo;t sure how to remove your screens, you can still clean them while in your window. You can follow the same cleaning steps, but you may not be able to get into corners or struggle to clean the entire screen if the window is up high.</p></div>

Q: Can someone break in through the basement window?

• <div><p>Among the various entry points into your residence, it's crucial to recognize that your basement windows are arguably the most susceptible. Basements usually have windows facing the side and back yards, often concealed from driveway floodlights, porch lighting, and doorbell cameras. Their vulnerability underscores the importance of reinforcing basement window security to safeguard your home from break-ins.</p></div>

Q: Why did my window seal fail?

• <div><p>Window seals don&rsquo;t last forever, so they&rsquo;ll inevitably fail for one reason or another. One of the most common reasons is the expansion and contraction of the glass. When the glass gets warm from sunlight, it expands and adds pressure to the seal; at night, as the glass cools, it contracts. This process, day in and day out, can eventually cause the seal to fail. Other common sources of failure include the house settling over time, chemicals that damage the seal when <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-paint-window-frame.htm">repainting windows</a>, and incorrect window installation.</p></div>
