Question for tension spring for screen.
I have windows and screens that have tension bars with small pins attached to them that poke through the screen frame which then holds the screen into the window frame itself. These small pins have broken off the plastic tension bars on many windows.
Can the springs above that attach to the screen on the outside of the screen frame be used on any screens?

I'm not sure, actually. Could I see a few pictures of the part you're describing? Can you also tell me its measurements? Once I see what you have I will be better able to suggest a solution. Thanks!

Hi Dave. Thanks for the reply. As you see by the pictures there are plastic tension springs that go inside the side bar of the screen and a pin stick out the hole of the side bar. The pins have broken off these white plastic tension springs.
Is there a solution I can buy to put a tension spring on the side of the screen to keep it tight in the window opening. In order to get these white tension springs out of these screens, I need to remove the screen on one end and pull the end screen bar off in order to get inside of the side bars.
