Installation Steps:

1. Determine Required Height: Assess the gap between your window frame and the screen. Use the provided stackable rings to achieve the desired height. The clips can adjust from a flush fit up to 7/16 inch.
2. Assemble the Clip: Place the necessary rings onto the base of the clip. The rings interlock to create the required height.
3. Position the Clip: Hold the assembled clip against the window frame where the screen needs to be secured. Ensure the clip's arm will properly hold the screen in place.
4. Mark Drill Points: Mark the location for the screw hole through the clip's base.
5. Drill Pilot Hole: Using a 5/16 inch drill bit, carefully drill a pilot hole at the marked location.
6. Secure the Clip: Place the clip back over the pilot hole and secure it with the provided Phillips head screw. Do not overtighten.
7. Repeat: Install additional clips as needed around the perimeter of the window screen for secure fastening.

3. Operation

Once installed, the Prime-Line L 5924 Universal Screen Clips function by holding the window screen firmly against the window frame. The adjustable height ensures a snug fit, preventing the screen from dislodging due to wind or accidental bumps. To remove the screen, simply rotate the clips to release the screen frame.

4. Maintenance

These plastic screen clips require minimal maintenance. Periodically inspect the clips for any signs of wear or damage. If a clip becomes damaged, replace it promptly to maintain screen security. Clean the clips with a damp cloth and mild soap as needed to remove dirt or grime.

5. Troubleshooting

• Screen Not Secure: If the screen feels loose after installation, ensure the correct number of stackable rings has been used to achieve a tight fit. Verify that the clips are properly rotated to engage the screen frame.
• Clips Do Not Fit: If the clips do not fit your window frame or screen, double-check the dimensions of your screen and frame against the product specifications. The adjustable height is designed for gaps up to 7/16 inch.
• Damaged Clips: If any clips are cracked or broken, they should be replaced immediately. Continued use of damaged clips can compromise screen security.
