I can't imagine not having it after debating if I needed it. Insert the lip first and then use the screening tool and push inward on the opposite edge at about a 60 degree angle. Don't try to do too much at once or it will pop out. Good luck and thanks again to swisco. I was able to eliminate this problem by attaching normally splined screen rails to the Emco frame with screws. New rails can be painted to match the door, and now I can use any type of screen that I please.

Used in Forever storm door inserts. Emco doesn't make it easy for the do it yourselfers out there do they? I do appreciate Swisco having this very hard to find product and shipping it quickly. First off, aluminum screening or anything of thickness just isn't going to work. I also found that you absolutely need a screening tool.
How to install the rigid screen spline
You can see this step around the 40 second mark of the video. Unfortunately the ridgid spline can not be reused. We have been repairing these screens with the ridgid spline for years and we have tried all different ways of reusing the spline without any satisfactory results. Mike - you make it look very easy. Thanks for creating the video.
Just re-screened my front door after 18 years. This has to be the best design in spline ever. The sline drew the screening tight as I as I installed it. It made it much easier to get a taut screen as compared to conventional round spline.

And I only do this onece every 4 years or so. I'm glad the tutorial video was able to help you successfully install your spline. Make sure you are placing the spline into the inner lip of the screen frame before you start pressing it in with the roller.

Thank you for your prompt response. So, I'm thinking I will order the replacement glass through Home Depot and that gives me time to replace the screen myself. Flat spline is appealing for manufacture, but not truly serviceable for homeowners. I don't see any advantage to using special materials or technique just for this one screen, and I can't use the type of screen material that I want. EMCO has been bought out by Andersen and I don't know if they still sell only their screens. On the inside hinge should be the serial and phone numbers of your door and door manufacturer.
