You’re welcome 👍

[@saurabhkhatrii]

Thanks so much. I was able to replace my backyard sliding door with help of your video. Raw materials costed me 20 bucks from bunnings. Cheers!

[@alisha-y5v]

Thanks Bill! I’m about to replace the screen in my door. Funny story I had to take the handle off to get the guard off and locked myself out of the house when the rod came out 😂 thankfully I watched Mcgyver as a child and the stake from a solar light opened it right back up! Great videos, well explained!

[@Derangh]

life saver. Thanks so much. Love how precise you are when you say 'flat head screwdriver' when you refer to it all the time :D

[@Thunda_Storm]

Perfect DIY tutorial, very easy to follow and well detailed. Thanks!

[@Scarlett.R]

That looks so easy! Thanks for showing how it’s done. I ended up buying a crimsafe door because I had someone tampering with it… otherwise I would have just replaced the mesh of my security door

[@RomanovTV]

THANKS BILL!! My cat just ripped the screen riiiiiight down trying to catch a fly and this is the easiest tutorial Ive found so I can fix it myself 😅

[@irenedehaan]

Thank you! My screen doors look SO much better now!! =) Very easy to follow, too.

[@jeffreyb3238]

Excellent video, Bill. I will be making my own flyscreen and homemade sill sections (!!) very soon. I changed the mesh on my flyscreen door and it was a nightmare. Being a total beginner DIY-er, I used the stronger aluminium mesh, not fibreglass as per your video. Warning to all!! This seemed industrial and I had to exert great pressure on the roller to apply it. Too rigid. Ended up with a puncture, threw my hands in the air, said many choice words and went back to the big B to swap with fibreglass. They actually gave me a refund. Bill, would be great if you could please explain the pros, cons and uses of each type of mesh in any future videos. Thanks.

A flawless workmanship, Bravo!!!👍👍👍

[@superspecialty5169]

I don’t know about “flawless”?

[@victorialuck1259]

Thanks Bill, you just saved me $400 for a new door!!

[@Andy-or9wc]

I was using a screw driver instead of a roller to put the spline in all the way around like a moron. Went to bunnings to grab a roller, life saver mate thanks

Thanks for this video. I am going to have to replace my screen doors in my renal because I have cats and, well, you know, cat claws are sharp! This was extremely helpful as it will be cheaper to replace them myself when I decide to vacate in future. Thanks bill :-) have subscribed as I’m keen to check out your other how to videos 😀👍

[@waltertate2108]

Nice video. Any KZbin DIY video completed in thongs has double the authority👍

Thanks Bill! Super helpful video again! I have the exact same door and want to remove the lattice (looks like chicken wire to me) and replace with simple cross-bar. Is that possible or do I need to replace the entire door?

[@lenazhang4758]

Could you please add a video about how to remove and put it back of the the security window? Thank you!

[@lolbirdy]

thank you for the very clear and easy guide

[@Arkata]

Thanks this video mate, it's been insightful. Now, what if someone has a gate that does not have the grove like yours but they wanna install a screen on it, how would you recommend they go about doing that?? Do you have any recommendations??

[@scetchport]

Well done Bill.

[@garymarkham4167]

Hey Bill. Thanks for the video mate. Great instructions. What happens if i can't remove a handle blocking the track? There's no visible screws and it looks like a punched in rivet hole. Please help.

[@billshowto]

hi , I have a few videos on how to remove and install pop rivets👍

[@altongrovez4631]

Nice ome thanks bill bro ill be doing this tomo 💯

[@bfnew4440]

Thanks mate! Great explanation

[@TaliaDakota]

Hey Bill, can you please do a video to show how to replace the screen if you’ve got the tough steel mesh?

[@positiveeffect6770]

I guess its easier with the screen out... I'll have to do it with the security screen in... Thanks for video.

[@waynesayers1791]

Any tips on the best way to trim the screen when using aluminium mesh as Ive just done my back screen door but the mesh tended to fray when I was trimming the excess mesh & it looks a bit rough. I still have to re screen the front screen door yet & I'd like it to not look as rough

[@clayboi7]

Great video! Cheers 👍

[@wm5006]

Hey mate, can you show us how to replace the cord lock for a roman blind? And clarify whether you need to take down the whole blind, or whether you can leave the blind up while you swap the old lock with the new?

[@rogerdutton9033]

Thank for your good video. My problem is how to remove the amplimesh security screen from the window frame. I have removed the two screws at the top but I am unable to lift the screen up and free from the bottom track. There at two black plastic extrusion wedges on the LH side that have taken up the lateral slack between the screen and the window frame and these are making it impossible for me to lift the screen up and out of its track. Can you advise me please?

[@iamnights]

Thanks bro, this helped me.

[@ez3932]

Cheers mate , keep up the good work legend 👌

[@matthewsullivan6515]

Hi bill, loving your videos and your helpful tips on jobs around the house. I've got a bathroom sink where the plug is one of those push down and pop up ones, not the ones where you have the plug completely separate. Anyway when you push down on it to stop the water from going down, it doesn't lock. It stays down and I have to unscrew the plug and use pliers to get the centre bit back up to normal open state. Do you have any ideas on how to fix this. I've tried spraying WD40 but that hasn't helped.

[@billshowto]

Hi Mathew, I’m glad you are enjoying the videos. Usually I would replace the entire mechanism as they are very cheap to buy, but give me a few days and I’ll post a video to show how to do it👍

How did you remove and refit it? Ive got the same that are pop riveted

[@jolewington1811]

How about tips to replace with metal wire for mouse proofing? I can’t get the rubber in the groove

[@yarpos]

yep one on metal mesh would be good, much harder to work with and you only get one go as the metal deforms and takes on the channel shape

[@dfredericks86]

Great vid bro, real handy!

[@zacharylyon5231]

thanks bill, great video! If i dont have a spline roller what could i use instead?

[@billshowto]

The back of a butter knife 👍

Can you do a video on how to make a diamond grill window screen please?

[@sorj]

Is it possible to remove the crisscross bars from these? Current house has this pattern and they took the screens down prior to us moving in. Don't want to feel like I'm living in a prison but want the screens to open the windows.

[@cadets64]

Hey bill . My fly screen has not got the grill installed . Is it possible to install a grill ?

[@superspecialty5169]

So how strands of the screen mesh did you sever with the screwdriver & spline installation tool?

[@bizkitboxx]

is it possible to replace the mesh with the door still attached standing up? I'm worried if i take it apart, the screws etc are so old, I may not be able to put the door back up lol

[@billshowto]

Lol , as long as you can access all areas to install the spline and new mesh you can leave it on the tracks👍

I need to change the fly screen of my balcony sliding door but the spline is facing inside, and I don't have any idea how to take out the sliding door🤔 could you please tell me how I can take out the sliding door as well? Great video btw, thank you so much!!

[@billshowto]

Hope this helps 👍 kzbin.info/www/bejne/moiWo3iebp1knbs

[@meadowbird]

Question... should the screens be fitted with the grille facing inside the house or outside the house?

[@billshowto]

Grille is on the outside

[@meadowbird]

Billshowto that’s what I thought. Is there a specific reason why? I’m asking because I’m renting a house with every window and door having the grille facing into the house, which I had never seen before.

[@brookecalla8922]

What mesh do I need to buy from bunnings? Haha they all say fly screen for windows - does it matter can I just buy a roll of any fly screen mesh or?

[@nonamesnonames]

Thank you. Very helpful. BUT! 3:58. No!!! Bringing the utility knife towards yourself like that is begging for trouble, particularly while not wearing shoes. Looks like a few inches away from a nasty slice to the foot there!
