How to reinstall aluminium fly screen?

How can I insert back Aluminum fly screen on security door front entrance? It got off the door.

Thank you for your question.

With standard flyscreens, the screen sits in a channel with a spline used to essentially wedge it in place. Being an aluminium security screen, yours is likely different, but I imagine it should follow a similar principle.

Can I trouble you to take some photos of the channel that the screen has come out of?

It is likely behind that black rubber piece around the opening.

Can you see anything resembling a spline? Or perhaps there are screw holes, or some kind of rubber wedge?

Let me know what you find.

Hi @softkun123,

The logical place for it to sit, from what I am seeing, is this channel here.

Can you see anything that resembles Flyscreen Spline? Is that a spline just above the dotted line in the above photo?

If not, does that aluminium piece that you have your screwdriver sitting under seem to be able to lift out?

There is something around here that should be the solution. I'm thinking that there is either a spline at the top of that channel that you would need to remove, reinsert the screen, and then reinstall the spline using a spline roller, or part of the aluminium lifts up, the screen is reinserted and the aluminium clips back into place holding the screen in place.

Let me know what you find.
