No, Lindsey, it is not beyond you. (me and the ferrets will make you into a carpenter yet). Ask them if the normal tools will work with this screen, I am not familiar with it. But itÂ’s a little tube thingy that looks a little like a pizza cutter. You get a roll of this rubber string, (of course, take out the old screen) place the screen up against the window - I cut to just a little larger than the window, take duct tape and tape it across the top to hold it in place while I work) and start in a corner, that rolling thingy will push the screen and rubber into the little grove and you just work your way down making sure you don't go crooked . Then do the opposite side and finally top and bottom (of course, you remove the tape when you get the sides done. If you have a ragged edge standing out from where too much was there to go into the grove, just take a razor blade tool and cut the excess off. Now a sliding screen door is kinda big to start out learning on so you can come over here and practice on some regular window screens before you tackle that big ole door).
