    It is not difficult if you follow the directions--usually they are step by step. It takes time and yes--there is some frustration! I would enlist the help of another person--for holding things and another perspective on the directions!

    The screen or the entire door? Either is relatively easy. The door just pops in the tracks with spring rollers. So replacing the door just means you need good measurement to purchase a new one. If replacing the screen, purchase screening to fit, must be wider than the frame. New rubber screen cord the right width, and a little tool to put it in. Lay the screening over the door and start at a corner. Push the cording down over the screening into the channel. As you get to the third side, begin to pull the screening taut from opposite side and on the fourth side as well. Once done, trim the excess screening material close to the edge. I use a razor blade box cutter. Just be careful not to cut yourself in the process!
