To replace an aluminum screen, follow these steps.

Remove the screen in its frame from the door and lay it flat on a workbench or a set of sawhorse.
Pry the spline out of the groove using a pliers and lift out the screen.
Wipe the spline groove clean, making sure to remove the tiniest grit.
Lay a new aluminum screen over the frame so that it overlaps the groove by at least 1/8” on all four sides.
Cut off the corners of the screen at a 45degree angle.
Press the screen into the groove of the frame using the splining tool.
Use the concave end of the roller to press the spline into the groove.
Use a sharp knife to trim away any excess screen.
Fiberglass screens can be replaced in much the same way.
