Yes! This works with spline rails that are flat. I was able to re-enact the scene. I used these to screen my entire patio by myself. They're difficult to push together at first, and if you don't push them in far enough, they'll pop out. They worked perfectly after a few screens (and some practice). These clips are absolutely fantastic!
AWESOME PRODUCT! All of my patio screen enclosures, including some pet screens that are slightly thicker than standard fiberglass screens, were installed with my flat spline. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE SIZE OF THE SPLINE OR SPLINE GROOVE HAS NO IMPACT ON HOW THESE CLIPS PERFORM. For a small fee, you can get a lot of work done. A++++
They work well for flat spline screens, though I've never tried them. When I asked a screen installer at a hardware store, he recommended using the orange-handled spring clamps. For round spline screens, those would be ideal. This is what the clamps look like: https: //www. amazon. com/Finger-Tail-Tail-Tail-T Grips- Steel- Spring- B07V2JRF3C/ref=sr_1_23/dp/B07V2JRF3C/ref=sr_1_23/dp/B07V2JRF3C/ref=s 1 dchild spring clamps as a keyword 1599594864 is the unique identifier for this item. sr=8-

I was able to replace the screens on the back porch on my own with the help of this product. The work was estimated to cost at least $800. It took me two days because I started late on the first day and stopped for a beer after each panel was completed. The second day was still easy, but it took longer than the first due to the beer. I was, however, able to complete the task on my own. The parts were under $250, and the case of beer was only $20. There's no need to struggle with tape or rely on someone who isn't willing to assist. I only gave the instructions a cursory glance and only used them to hold the opposing corners for me. br>br>I replaced all of the panels with flat spline. The large ones weighed in at nine pounds each. I had no problems with the 10' wide space, and my husband was impressed with my progress until he realized I had consumed all of the beer. Because they are high tension, it was sometimes difficult to get it in the groove with one hand. They don't have a problem staying once they've gotten in. If your hand grip is weak, a pair of pliers might be useful in squeezing them. Robogrips would be ideal because they are wide and comfortable to hold. Regardless, anyone should be able to do it if I can do it even slightly buzzed. This is a fantastic product for giving you extra hands to hold the screen up.
a job of screening I initially dismissed these as a gimmick, but attempting to hold a 7' piece of screen and start the spline on my own proved nearly impossible. I was looking for ideas on how to do this (tape, clamps, etc. ) on YouTube and elsewhere when I came across these and a similar plastic product. br>br>These metal clamps were my choice. You begin by following the pattern outlined on the small card included in the package. Don't lose it, take a picture of it, or make a copy of it. The order in which you place these matters a great deal. Basically, you'll finish the top row, the two bottom corners, the work from top to bottom on each side, and the bottom row. You won't need the card after a while, but it's convenient to have at first. br>br>Because the clips' edges are fairly polished, they didn't snag the screen or scratch any of the aluminum parts. Although they appear to be stainless, after being left on the porch for a while, they began to corrode. Overall. br>br> If you're putting up screens by yourself and only have two hands, these will come in handy.
I'm a person who lives in front of a computer. replacing a novice who was tasked with completing a screen porch from start to finish. I ordered a large enough roll from Amazon and began watching videos; Clips were suggested by one person so that you could do it yourself. I needed to be able to do it, and to be honest, I think these are ten times better than having a helper. br>What distinguishes these: directions are excellent! You'd think it'd be easy, but they've figured out the best way to arrange them; don't reinvent the wheel; just do what they say. It worked flawlessly on every single one of the colossal screen panels I needed to replace. I was able to replace six large panels in two mornings, each one taking an hour or less. I could have gone faster, but I was focused on getting a good tension on the screens, which these clips allowed me to do. br>Twenty may appear to be a large number, but you'll need all of them to perform well. I could've used two packs because my screen panels were for a porch and were so large, but I only used one because I followed the directions on the package. Then, as I removed clips from one area, I replaced them in other areas to close any gaps. A six-pack of beer is one of my favorites. When the tension is set all around, the clips you remove from smaller areas can go right back into the larger gaps, ensuring that the area is maintained with proper tension as you work from clip to clip. br>Such a simple device, yet so helpful. I think it's fantastic that they should be able to fit through a variety of gaps. Because of their simple but effective design, they fit perfectly for my 1/8 inch spline gap and could probably cover a 1/4 inch as well. The clip's'spring' is simply metal tension, so it won't break easily. Putting it on and taking it off is a breeze. br>br>I love this product; I'm no longer afraid to replace damaged screens when the time comes, and I can do so in a professional manner. without the cost, and it looks a million times better than the previous repairs I attempted; Even with highly rated repair products, they still looked pretty bad. You'll need a good spline roller, a good screen roll, and a pack of these to get started.
Without them, I would not have been able to finish the job. This is a must-have for anyone who is installing a screen! br>br>I learned a lot of things, but the most important is that one package isn't enough, as I lost a few clips in the process. I recommend buying two sets to ensure a worry-free project completion. Other points to consider: Take your time, and don't rely solely on the clips to achieve a secure fit - Pull the screen a little bit with the other hand as you push the spline in; Begin at the top and work your way down, starting with the top, then the sides, and finally the bottom.
My cats have put me in the position of having to replace all of my screens. Every other month, they enjoy escaping through holes in my patio screen. My dogs, on the other hand, are far from saints. When they decided they didn't want to be outside any longer, they busted through the screen. I despise replacing screens because the area is so large and awkward; however, I was looking for a simpler way to do so when I came across a YouTube video of a guy replacing screens with these clips. My sanity has been saved thanks to that guy and these clips. Buy These Now if you, like me, have demon cats and dogs or simply despise having to replace your screening.
It was fantastic! I've set up screens before, but never with clips like these. My entire lanai needed to be rescreened, and I used both Florida glass and regular screen. On the first day, I set up four large (10-foot) windows. Screen panels and Florida Glass (approximately 10 feet by 10 feet by 10 feet). Even though the wind picked up to over 20 miles per hour on the second day, I was still able to install the remaining two panels using these clips - The screens are also very tight!.
