[@DenaliDad]

I finally found out how to remove the screens off my third-story apartment windows! The only problem I have is some of the tabs are broken. How would you remove such a screen with broken or missing tabs?

[@philwelch3106]

Press upward at the top part of the screen frame - this will lift the screen as it squeezes the metal springs at the top (both left and right sides have springs, so you need to press on each side). Once it rises above the lower lip you can gently push the bottom outwards. (Because pressing both sides of the top of the frame at the same time AND pushing on the bottom can be challenging with only 2 hands, often you can press up on the left side and push the lower left corner out, then work on the right side) This is how I'd recommend handling any screens with old and broken/degrading tabs, as those partial tabs are still useful for helping put the screen back in place.

[@lanalowlifer7499]

So we all here for he same reason huh?

[@tylerzakkour8427]

Yep😂

[@jessenathan6147]

Yea. I brought beer tho

Glad I could help!

[@alithras666]

See the color of this gentleman's hair? Nuff said. After countless, incessant, asinine hours of watching idiot DIY'ers try to explain pull tabs, this video is the best. It should be pinned on the KZbin home page. Wish me luck, as I can only install mine from the INSIDE (high floor condo) -- so I'm going to put the pull tabs AFTER the screen, then spline, -- then yes, tabs. I hope this works. Simply because, if I put the tab first, (this video, he is correct, of course, don't get me wrong) then spline then screen- I wouldn't be able to grab the tabs from the INSIDE of the house. Stay tuned. But thank you again sir!

[@basicworks1]

Nice! Thx! Much appreciated!

[@andrealorente3660]

Thank u for the vid, I watched other videos and they weren't helpful, thos video is short and explains how to take it out and install it, I like how u explained about the tabs and how the springs are on the opposite side, I did not know that, at my place the tabs are on the side of the window not the bottom, if I wouldn't have watched this, I would have probly broken the screen trying to get it out

[@basicworks1]

Very Nice! Glad this can Help!

[@calenajackson8772]

Thank so much. It’s so hot today and I needed to setup my ac but couldn’t figure this out

[@basicworks1]

It's Hot weather season...Glad it helped!

[@basicworks1]

Just to help get them out....

[@crimson5k440]

Thank you Clyde.

[@basicworks1]

Any time

[@Alanom2007]

Damn! Thanks for the video I was trying to put one back and now I know it does not have spring clips I was thinking Why the heck I am unable to put it back. Lol

[@PaKiKiNg908]

Thank you so much!!!!! What if there is only one tab? Thank you Sir

[@basicworks1]

Some can get broke off...Use 1 and a small screwdriver to lift where the other should be...

[@markrodgers1965]

Whats the best way to clean those screens ?

[@BassKittehz]

All the kids wanting to sneak out meanwhile I'm just an incapable adult with a professional window cleaning coming up..

[@basicworks1]

Thx! Glad You Like It !

[@channiggy6927]

Thanks Clyde

[@jeanneevans6078]

What do u do if your tabs are broken and cracked off??

[@basicworks1]

Try lifting it with a plastic putty knife or such..tabs can be replaced once u have it out.

[@TaylorDiamondTurtle]

i know this is an old comment but when you get it out you can make new tabs out of duct tape

[@Choii_]

lol bro just saved me

[@insane1503]

Really helpful thanks. I just wish I would have know this when I got locked out of my room, than I wouldn't have damaged the screen on my new windows! 😭 lol

[@basicworks1]

[@basicworks1]

Lol Yeahhh!

[@im_a_pretzel6715]

Definitely won't sneak out with thid

[@Gala_tha_Prince]

Hi I hope all is well, I accident snapped off the black tabs. So they go back on easily ? Doesn’t seem like anything broke

[@mlp-gr5uu]

I tried pulling but then I ripped the pull tab off..

[@swaggeralien8482]

What did you do??? And what did you tell your parents! I got anxiety now

[@swaggeralien8482]

Welp nvm I ripped the tab off…

[@mlp-gr5uu]

@@swaggeralien8482 1. Did nothing 2. Didn’t tell them

[@TaylorDiamondTurtle]

@@mlp-gr5uu kzbin.info/www/bejne/rnTMiK2od8udb7s you can make new ones w duct tape

[@warrenkawamoto8660]

I have a ridiculous situation here. My screen frame has spring clips on the top AND on the side! I struggled to take it out, had to nearly bend the screen to force it on removal. Once out, I now find it impossible to put back because the screen is too tall and too wide to go back into the slots.

[@basicworks1]

Oh no! Can you get a small screwdriver on the side tabs to push them in then push the top ones in?

[@warrenkawamoto8660]

@@basicworks1 Yes! I used a small wire as a hook to pull the frame. I had to force the frame to bow it vertically and horizontally in order to pull it into the slots. I sprayed WD40 to lubricate, and it's finally in place.

[@kegajitt]

he sounds like doc mitchell from fallout new vegas

[@sarahnoble74]

My screens do not have springs and pull tabs broke off. They are 20 years old, the screen felt like silk so I had Ace Hardware install new screens and frames are cock-eyed. 👎

[@debraannconn2706]

My screen tabs broke off when I tried this.

[@Natasha831_1]

Mine snapped 😭

[@polypop7560]

what if your tabs are old and broken = no tabs where they were.

[@npc6953]

Nah bc I think someone tried to take out my screen with a card and laminated paper they left behind 😮

[@israelporter3686]

You are the man, thank you.

[@basicworks1]

Thanks and welcome!
