1. Measure width
Lay the screen flat. Measure the outermost edge of the frame from left to right in inches. Record the measurement to the nearest 1/8 inch if possible.
If you have an existing screen, measure its outside frame edges—not just the mesh. If you are unsure, send us photos and we can help determine what is needed.
2. Measure height
Measure the outside of the frame from top to bottom. Measure twice and note whether the frame is square.
3. Check frame thickness
Measure the depth of the metal screen frame (for example 5/16 or 3/8 inch). A close-up photo of the edge is helpful.
4. Photograph hardware
Photograph pull tabs, tension springs, corner keys, plungers or clips, including where they attach.
5. Missing screen?
Take a photo of the full window opening and close-ups of the tracks. Do not guess at the finished screen dimensions.
