The Prime-Line PL 7813 provides a 48-inch segment of aluminum screen frame, offering a middle-ground size for medium-sized residential windows. It uses a 6063-T5 aluminum alloy, which is naturally resistant to rust and corrosion. The 5/16-inch profile is specifically shaped to accommodate spline diameters between 0.125 and 0.140 inches, which helps ensure a tight lock for the screen mesh.
Build quality is supported by a powder-coated white finish that resists yellowing over time. This frame is designed for high customizability; it can be cut to precise lengths with a 32-teeth-per-inch hacksaw blade. Because the aluminum is lightweight and malleable, it is easy to handle during assembly but should be stored flat prior to use to avoid kinking the metal.
Practical usability is high for DIY maintenance, though the product is sold as a single frame piece. To complete a full window screen, a set of four pieces along with plastic corner keys and mesh will be required. The material is sturdy enough for daily household use and handles the tension of standard fiberglass mesh reliably.
If you are looking for a complete kit that already includes the mesh and tools for a standard door, consider the Prime-Line Screen Door Repair Kit.
