2.6 Installing and Removing Screens

2.6.2 Opening or Removing a Screen
Removing a screen from a single Margay standing
alone is not a problem. Simply grasp the sides of the
screen and pull forward sharply. The spring latches
will pop loose.
Removing a screen from a Margay in a wall is more
exacting, because the screens are so close together.
On the opposite page, look at the row of Margays.
To remove a screen on the outside column in a wall,
do not start at the outside edge. This seems the logi-
cal place to start, but it will cause the outside screen
to crunch against the next screen to the center.
Notice also that if you want to remove a screen in
the middle of a wall, you should work from the out-
side of the wall inward.
Hints
When pulling with the suction cup, always pull at a
slightly up angle. This keeps the screen from scraping
the screen below.
Place the suction cup puller near the corner of the
screen.
Start at the outside and work in.
Never pull the “open” edge first.
Steps to remove a single screen from a Margay wall

3. Place the suction cup near the corner of the
screen and pull slightly up and outward sharply.
You will hear the screen latch click and release.
Pulling up a little keeps this screen from rubbing
the screen below. Release the latch at top and bot-
tom of one side.
CAUTION
When you pull the edges out, pull out only ½"
(2 cm). That is enough to release the spring
latches without harming the next screen.
