Is there a special tool used to install this spline?

Install replacement rigid screen spline with the flat side down; slide the side with the innermost protrusion in first and then the other side will snap in with a standard screening tool such as the SWISCO product code 75-019

I need to re-screen an EMCO storm door screen Serial No. A-971456. The spline on the current door measures 5/8" do you carry flat spline that will work for this?

You may have measured incorrectly, recheck the original spline again; we use the 55-109 Spline that measures a heavy 3/8" wide for EMCO storm door screen repairs in our shop.

What a horrible design. Very difficult to get in right compared to conventional spline. You have to pre-trim the screen which is risky. The only way to get it to work was to bend the spline into a U-shape and use a stip of wood and a hammer to get flatten it. Use your third hand to hold the screen tight while doing this. Even then some of the edging stipped off. Took 3 hours. I'll never buy another Emco door because of this.
