Hi RX, how are going?
With the kitchen door hinges what you can try and do is use a screwdriver to force the hinges off, once you get to a stage the hinges will be loose enough to pull out, you will have to use new screws to reattach it and perhaps replace the hinges as well, so don't worry if you have to damage them, they're for the bin.
Absolutely, use the fly screens you already have and you will save a fortune, do you know whether they fit inside the house or on the outside, don't panic, what you can do is place them on the outside and screw them onto the frame, 4 little screws will hold it in place, but you can let me know.
To pull them apart there is a rubber that goes around the whole screen, it's in the back of the screen.
Get a smallish screwdriver and pull out the rubber end, that's what holds the screen together, then take the flywire out, if it's still in good condition keep it, then the flywire screen will fall apart, cut off as much as you want, don't go overboard and cut off too much.
Now there is a plastic tool, it's got a wheel on it, but if you ask at the hardware store 'a tool to put flyscreens together', they will know what you mean, it's only a couple of bucks.
This is what you use to push the rubber back into the groove to hold the screen together, because if you try to push it in using a screwdriver you will damage the flywire by putting holes in it.
Let me know if they fit inside or outside the frame, but to keep them in place you can buy little plastic hooks where you screw in 1 end and the other end turns 360 degrees but will hold them on the frame.
Good to hear from you, as always.
Geoff.
