Questions & AnswersHey Don Golden back with Expert Village. Were working on our screen door.Now Come across a challenging part here that were gonna have to work out together and that is lets reinstall the housing for your door handle. now this goes on the inside of your door which means that its going on, inside. This our inside here the face, its facing up. So we got to get this on here and the mesh and the spleen around it. Looks like its kind of challenging but I got a trick for you. This is the only part that your gonna trim right now. Were gonna trim the rest of the excess mesh but right now Ima trim a little piece here so we can get around this. Let me show you how to do this. Fold your screen here underneath the handle clip, Sort of mark it, you can eye ball it. Just eye ball it, grab yourself a little piece here, and be careful cause you dont want to go down and cutt the other side of this. Just a little cutt there. And up. Ok now lets do the same thing on this side. Right about here. Dont try this at home kids, you'll cutt your fingers. Im Just kidding, Ok here we go, boom. Theres our piece, lets just finish like this, it right across. Alright, and were gonna fold this underneath and get a rolling tool and continue on. Lets see how tight you can get this. Ok right up to there. Thats a little loose, lets pull it out. Thats all you got to do, if its a little loose pull it out and redo it. This stuff is very flexible. And if you didnt leave yourself enough, see im pulling and I didnt cutt enough you see so im going to cutt a little more of material. Lets measure it. This might even be better, lets cutt it right up here. Just like this. Ok. Lets try it again. here we go. Pull it and roll it there, Get this underneath. Now your probably gonna want to use your screwdriver to get these little bits in here. Just a little, little bit. And push slide this up a little, there we go get under it and push it in, There. Ok that works.
