Our full screens are designed as "side mount" systems. To remove them, follow the steps below:

Step 1: Remove both sash.
Step 1a: Unlock the window and lift the bottom sash 6 - 8".
Step 1b: Use the Tilt-Latch to tilt the bottom sash into your home.
Step 1c: If there is a pivot retainer (plastic clip) in your model, it must be removed with the end of a pen or like device.
Step 1d: Disengage the bottom sash from the frame by lifting one side and then the other.   To remove the top sash, pull the top sash down 6 - 8" and follow the same procedure in steps 1b through 1d.
Step 2: Once both sash are removed, you may take hold of the pull tabs located on the right side of your screen. Pull the screen to the left and push out.   If it is easier for you to release one end of the screen first, pull the top half of your screen to the left and push out. Then, do the same for the bottom.
Step 3: Replace both sash by following the reverse of the instructions above.

Step 1: Raise your lower sash approximately 4 to 6 inches above the sill.
Step 2: Raise your screen up to approximately 4 inches from the top.
Step 3: With your lower sash raised, retract the window sash release latches on the top of the sash and gently tilt the window sash toward you until it rests on the sill.
Step 4: Lower the top window sash to approximately 8 to 10 inches above the sill. Retract the latches until it rests on the lower sash.
Step 5: Take hold of the top and bottom rails on the right side of your half screen.
Step 6: If your screen has release latches on the bottom rail, you may push the release latch and the top rail towards the left and push out. This will disengage the lock on your screen to remove it.   If your screen does not have release latches on the bottom rail, you may just push the top and bottom rails to the left and push out.
