Not wrong you have to do this carefully and slowly... I needed to add a bracket to both ends of the cassette to secure it in place... Well, I undid the two screws holding the cap on, jiggled it a bit and the damn thing spun around so crazy that it cut my fingers up! Scary!! Glad you put this video up, so I can put it back together! LOL!
just installed one of these.. few things to note - 1. At 1:58 you mention that there is a video on the cutting if you do a DIY install. I've not been able to find this. 2. The instructions don't tell you to take into account the height of the cassette when calculating the length of the vertical rails for cutting. I cut/installed the cassette, then measured the vertical rail height from base of cassette. 3. If you have clearance problems with latches/handles etc., just spin the cassette so it feeds out the front instead of out the back of the cassette. I had to do this and it works just fine. The curved face of the cassette will be facing outwards, and a flat face will be facing inwards. 4. Be careful with the provided screws for mounting the vertical rails. one sheared off screwing it into pine. 5. Don't forget to install the handle prior to inserting the endcaps on the bottom of the flyscreen, they are hard to get out. Other than that, it works well (our old window is far from square - 880mm wide at top, 885mm wide at bottom - make sure you measure top and bottom and left and right! ), didn't require any tension adjustment - it retracts back up at a controlled speed.
Product is great, however this video and the install manual only shows installation process if the kit has been "pre cut".... If your window is around 450mm wide the tension spring needs to be pulled out and cut down and then you will have to retension....100 extra steps if you order the kit and cut yourself. Please update your install instructions based on cutting the standard kit at home Look at replacing all your casement widow handles and lock bolts as mine all clashed with the screen and side tracks. Product looks and works really well but more info is needed concerning window types and minimum dimensions My windows were all casement type
Great until I realized it requies drilling holes on window frame! My apartment window frames are metalic...plus its a rental... So are there any options beside drilling holes?
he has missed one important thing - when the end cap is taken off the cassette as well as the white spacer there is a black fitting which needs to go back on after the cutting - if not careful it will drop down inside the cassette and be lost - take it out before you cut andput aside with the end cap and spacer - it is effectively the locking device which seems to stop rotation after re-assembly
*My patio doors are taller than average, so finding a screen door has been a challenge. **do7.pl/pPatio** None available at the local home improvement stores - not even special order. Even though assembly is required, these were a great value.*
Look like nice kits. They have more information available at ezyscreens.com.au/. I don't know if they sell outside of Australia, but they offer this email address on their site: sales@ezyscreens.com.au
Well, we saw a spirit level NOT ONCE - these free running meshes (ie mesh not retained in the tracks) are just as important to be plumb, level and square.
@@2F51RL ok you tell me then where can I buy this product. Its like me telling you come to my house to pick up your $1000, without me giving you my address. Whats the point
@@moseslmps6261 ; The point, princess, is for you to do something for yourself for a change. You might learn a skill you are currently lacking. Go on, just fucking try, instead of crying for mummy and daddy like a baby.
The ezy screens holding up very well in normal winds. They allowed light to come in as any other screens. Cleaning screens once awhile is recommended to stop building dust in it.
Hello. Thank you for this good video. I wanted to know how well these screens hold up in windy conditions, how much natural light will be allowed through it and what type of maintenance / cleaning is required for it?
Two concerns. First, the bottom track creates a trip hazard. A more tapered design would have been preferable. Also, all during the installation demonstration, I was watching to see if the screen would hit the front door handle. We'll never know because in the final moments of the video, the front door was open.
I agree with the trip hazard. That's the main reason I won't buy it. As for the door handle hitting the screen, why would anyone keep the screen extended and close the door at the same time?
@@stevenkimdmd The same reason people keep a conventionally hinged screen door closed at the same time. To prevent an influx of bugs when the main door is opened.
@@patdthomas you keep a hinged door closed , or hooked back all the time because its always there. This retracts and disappears when not in use. You wouldn't close this with the main door closed, pointless.
Plus you could only do it from the outside which makes it even more pointless. Use case is, I want some breeze not bugs to come in, open the door and engage fly screen. Don't want the breeze, I have to retract the screen anyway to shut the door. Why would you want to engage the screen again? You're just trying to find problems. Even the trip hazard is not a concern to me. It's a trade-off. It's somewhat common to have to step up if you have sliding doors and I never seen anyone tripping on those.
We're looking for a screen door like this! What is this product and where do we get it? We don't have kids, pets, or stupid people walking through our doors, so we would love to have a screen like this.
