Have basic one pane sliding metal windows. High and over staircase (unreachable) screen partly pops out. Will this tool pull 2x4' screen corner in?

The magnet is pretty strong, and would have no problem picking up the entire screen, but most screens are aluminum, so a magnet won't help there.

It is a fairly strong magnet. I would imagine it would depend the tensile strength of the bend in the metal. Also, if it is a screen, good chance it is made of Aluminum which is not magnetic and no magnet is going to help. But if the metal is magnetic, this tool has good strength.

No, both screens retract fully. If you want just one open, there are pegs on the left side that hold that side of the door screened.

If you are good with tools you can remove the plastic tab which prevents it from making a full turn. If not, do not buy this product. It works great for my purposes.

It should work great, I just tried it with 3 windows and a doorwall all open and you could still see it.

Yes. Get a fingernail under a corner and gradually lift it up.I have done this successfully more than once while getting it positioned correctly.

Depends on the construction of your window. Ours allowed us to open-close window simply by moving the screen back and forth inside the window.

Yes but when you raise the window it forces the plastic tabs out and the guard falls off.

If you remove the wedge (I used 2 per window) then you can open the window BC the velco does NOT impede the window from being raised up.

I don't have double hung windows, so I'm unsure if these will work. It works on locking the bottom slide window from moving up any farther. Hopefully someone with double hung windows will be able to give you a better answer.

Yes, if you are 'handy' at all. Try one of these options. #1 Use 2 window panel kits which are slid & pegged together. The other option is try the EdgeStar APPK2010 door kit. #2 Go to a Plexiglas Shop and have them cut a 7" wide x height of your door frame panel for you. Several people have posted they had the shop cut the vent hole into the Plexiglas so they didn't have to mess with the kit. One even used an optically-styled piece of Plexiglas to make sure people noticed it (and they didn't walk into it). #3 Go to a home improvement store, which offers 2-3 free 'cuts', on a purchased plywood panel and have it cut to the size you need (the nice thing is the plywood can slip into the door tracks for 2 sided stability). On #2 & #3, I would make sure to cover the long open edge with paint/tape...etc., so some doesn't pick up splinters/cut themselves on it when using the door. Please remember you may need a new sliding door track lock/s. It needs to be very sturdy if you are going to be using the door for inside/outside access.

You need space for a tension rod to hang the screen. So if you do not have about 2 inches of frame available, it will not work as designed. Since you can go out of one side only, one door will not be able to open.

Take a thin flat head screwdriver and slip between gap and pop up. Once one end is up the rest will pop right off. Good luck

I use mine in a sliding door (to the deck) where the opening is 75". The screen fabric hangs 4" over towards the outside of the threshold but it isn't too much of a bother to keep it that way. I really like all the magnets down the center opening. It works much better than other types of a soft screens I have tried.

Anyone ever install infront (outside of house) of the sliding door. Where your sliding screen would be. This would allow your glass sliding door to shut as normal. I picture adding my own brush sweep along the vertical edge to help with air lose. Comments and pictures would be helpful.

It is somewhat thicker than normal screening. That being said I used it to replace the screen in my sliding door. It took a bit of effort with a spline tool but it worked in my case. I was concerned it would be too thick, but decided if it didn't work I would trim it for a ripped window screen. Some people suggest using a thinner spline to make installation easier.

I think if your window swings open, you would need to do some modifications for this to work. If you had a sliding window, no problem.

Yes should work fine. Use a decent level to make sure your screen is truly spot on level. The design of the brackets and hanger bolts will let you make minor adjustments to one side or the other. Good luck.
