Hey, Allen. You picked a difficult screen to repair! I have some experience with these and it's never exactly fun. On some storm sashes, the frame is open on the sides, allowing you to get a flat blade screw driver in and tap out the corner. If you need to only replace the latch, you could try to pry up the frame by putting the screw driver into the groove were the latch slides in, install new latch, then tap the frame back in place with a hammer. It's a little tricky, but I have done it in the past.
If you do need to remove the corner completely, you will have to drill the "punch points" on the frame, remove the screen cloth, then tap the frame apart. Look at the videos we have related on the right side of this page for more context. |
