I'm having a hard time finding replacement parts for the top alignment fixed pins for my screen. Should they just be replaced by plunger style pins?

Greetings, I am preparing to re-screen my window screens with pet-proof screening. All my screens have these plunger pins. My question is, do I need to remove them before re-screening, and also, how do I do this? Or, can I re-screen on top of the pins rather than attempt to remove/replace them? ... (cont.)

Any suggestions or helpful info on sizing/making the receiving holes in the wooden door frame?

What is the purpose of the screen plunger. I was locked outside and neighbor took off the screen in 1 second and was in my house. I was happy to get inside, but this was frightening how easy it was to be robbed. My window was not locked and he pried it open also in seconds.

I'd like a dozen spare. The pin is metal and has a spring inside.

I built a new home over 20 years ago and put in windows by Caradco. The windows are wooden. The screens were held in the frame using a stick-push-in pin. A number of these have broken off and have no ability to hold the screens in place. I was told by a clerk at Lowes that your company could h ... (cont.)

Hi Swissco, is there a proper way to determine what size latch I will need. The ones that came with the screens I have are "crumbling" away and I need replacements. As ell, do you sell these? Thanks Sincerely, Doug

Hi, the old coil springs are pretty well rusted away and the plastic push caps are disintagrating. Can you match these up please? I would like about 60 pieces. Best regards Bruce

I can't think of another name for this item except to say it is spring loaded inside the frame and is a pull pin. The thing comes from an old Pella screen for a convertible storm door.
