How to Remove the Screens from Your Windows?

Matthews Brother Walcott Windows - Screen Removal and Replacement

Your Spencer Walcott double-hung windows are designed with removable screens, making seasonal cleaning quick and easy. Follow these simple steps to safely remove and reinstall your window screen.

Removing the Screen:

  1. Unlock the window and raise the bottom sash several inches to provide enough room to access the screen.
  2. From inside your home, place both hands on the screen frame near the top.
  3. Push the screen upward into the upper screen channel.
  4. While holding the screen up, gently pull the bottom of the screen toward you until it clears the window frame.
  5. Once the bottom is free, lower the screen out of the upper channel and remove it from the window opening.

Reinstalling the Screen: 

  1. Hold the screen with the exterior-facing side toward the outside of the home.
  2. Insert the top of the screen into the upper screen channel.
  3. Push the screen upward until there is enough clearance to position the bottom of the screen into the lower channel.
  4. Lower the screen into place, making sure it sits securely in both channels.
  5. Check that the screen is fully seated around the entire frame before operating the window.
