As others have said in their reviews, this kit comes as 4 channel pieces WITH THE SPLINE ALREADY INSTALLED in each piece (which is problematic). If you just pry this out as you would in a normal screen repair job, the prying will damage this otherwise "new" spline and you'll likely wind up with many small pieces of it instead of a whole. Instead, use a small sharp tool and stick it into the spline near the end of the channel, and then just push it a bit in order to just slide the entire spline out of the end of the channel. Once you get it out a little bit with the tool you can grab it with your fingers and the whole thing comes out pretty easily and in one nice piece.
Other than that, it's as easy to use as other kits. I also agree with other reviews that it is pretty flimsy, but in my application I am using clips to fasten the whole thing to an old wood screened-in porch, so it doesn't need to be sturdy on its own.

Have a window screen frame that was busted and all messed up. I never knew I can buy the frame and screen online once I did I ordered but the frame and screen and replaced it by myself. It was easy I messed it up a bit that’s on me. Now the window looks nice and neat.

The metal bars are okay. They twist a little when installing the screen, but for an inexpensive online frame I am happy enough with it to give 4 stars. The spline is preinstalled in the rails, so you have to pull it out. It is stiff and contributed to the twisting of the frame. I bought separate spline from Prime-Lime P7630 and it is a much more flexible, easier to install spline. I got minimal twisting of the frame with the alternate spline. I used a chop saw to cut the rail pieces to size and it worked very well. The corner pieces are plastic and I am hoping last through weather.

I've now purchased quite a few of these sets. I'm using them to hold 4 mil and 6 mil clear vinyl on our screened in porch for the winter. These things are working great. The first room I used them on, I used liquid nails to attach them to the wood. It worked great, but by time I got around to the 2nd room, it was pretty chilly out and the liquid nails wouldn't set, so I drilled holes along the sides of these and screwed them into place.. That worked really well. This holds the plastic in place very firmly so we'll have two screened in porches to enjoy this winter. I used frost king clear vinyl and flexible glass vinyl, and using that with the screen frame kits, it created glass like enclosures.
My biggest problem with them is that the spline comes inserted in the channels, so you have to pull it out before using it. The spline actually is pretty hard to get out. I used a flat tip screw driver to get the end out of the channel enough that I could pull the rest of it out.. It'd be easier if the spline just came rolled up.
I'm hoping that I can just pull the spline out of the channels in the spring, roll up the vinyl and reuse the whole system year...
