Ratings & Reviews for M-D 5/16-in x 5-ft White Aluminum Replacement screen kit
Ratings may include incentivized customer reviews.
What Customers Are Saying
Customers praise the kit for affordability, straightforward assembly, and professional results at a fraction of professional costs. Many successfully build or replace multiple screens with basic tools, appreciating the included components and money saved. However, many report the aluminum frame bends or warps under moderate pressure during installation, lacking rigidity to hold tension properly. Additionally, reviewers consistently criticize instructions as vague and incomplete, omitting critical details like measurements and assembly sequence, leading to costly mistakes. Despite these durability and guidance issues, most customers find the core value proposition worthwhile.

GARBAGE - DO NOT BUY
Would Not RecommendThis flimsy junk is not worth your time. The metal frame bends too easily, the plastic corners are brittle and not a good fit, and the little pull tabs are essentially useless. Like others, I wanted to return this even though I had already cut pieces. Very frustrated with the low quality. When I stretched the screen, it bowed the frame. That's how flimsy this metal is. Absolute trash.

Very low quality
Would Not RecommendEasy enough to use kit but I should have scrutinized it more before I bought it. I'm an old hand at making screens and I'm tempted to take this waste of material back used. Frame extrusions are smaller thickness than normal. Much smaller than the screens I was replacing that had damage frames. Material bows easily if you are making a screen over 2' x 2'. Spine doesn't want to stay in, especially where the pull tabs are. Pull tabs aren't very good, tension springs were fine.
Thank you for your review, Rob. We will pass your feedback on to our quality team to review.
way too flexible.
Would Not RecommendThey should not sell this in a length as long as they do, it is way to flexible for large screens. The screen warps the frame, and if using pet screen, forget about it

Material specs exceeded
Would Not RecommendI feel if the product is a 5' window screen kit, the materials should be of sufficient strength to not bow in at any length over 2'. Product really isn't capable of what the customer is led to believe it is designed to do. Instructions could be more helpful regarding measuring to fit...I did not have 'the old screen' to measure (and the corner brackets are 1 1/2" together). I will admit that I found the actual assembly simple enough.
Thank you for your review. We will pass your feedback on to our quality and marketing teams.

Great simple screen. Easy to build.
Would RecommendEasy to use. Make sure you measure to cut including the space the corners take. Also if you want to use the pull tab and springs, install them before you spline the screen in!
