Thanks for having all the parts to update some old screens! These clips are correct but for whatever reason they are a hair too big for the screens I have. Is there a special tool out there that is used to puncture the screen frames for these clips to go through? Seems like a hacksaw just buthcers the frame and leaves it jagged/rough. Thanks!

Hello!

If you're very careful, you can use a sharp utility knife. I also suggest placing the screen frame in a vise when cutting with the knife.

I hope this helps!

Thanks. For anyone else out there I ended up using the utility knife and just shaving off some of the new plastic clip. Much easier (and safer - for me) than trying to cut the metal with a utility knife. Thanks swisco and Paul!
