How to replace a screen in a non-spline screen door

 Help!

My house has a screen door with a ripped screen.  I'd like to replace
the screen, but it's not held in with a spline, it's held in with a
flat rubber ribbon about 1/2 inch across, that seems to be taped on one
side.  Lowes had no idea what the ribbon was, where I could get a new
one, or how to put in a new screen.

Has anyone heard of this?  Do I put it in like a spline, or do I need
some other kind of tool?  Thanks.

(The logo on the handle says "Peachtree," but the Peachtree door
website doesn't have any info on screen doors - I've emailed their
customer service.)

  Apparently, the answer is that I do have a spline, but it's a "flat
spline."  Now, all I have to do is figure out what kind of tool I need
to work it . . .

  You install it in the same way that you would install a round spline.
In some ways flat splin is easyer than round. use you spline tool to
push the screen into the groove then lay the spline with one edgein the
edge of the groove as you roll the other edge into the groove.

Thanks, that's exactly what I needed.

For any future flat spline people:

1) I got a pet screen, because a pet had ripped the original.  The
tougher screen definitely helped on installation, though - I probably
would have ripped a weaker screen on a couple of my splining tool
slips.   I couldn't buy flat spline at any of the local box stores, so
I reused the old spline rather than calling around to hardware stores
or mail ordering.

2) I cut the corners at a 45 degree angle just inside the screen track
with a utility knift, but left the rest uncut.

3) I ran the first spline just like Briz said, then pulled the screen
as tight as I could and did the opposite side, then pulled the screen
tight and installed each of the remaining sides.  Installing the spline
pulled the screen tight without too much effort.

4) Getting the flat spline in was a pain, but you definitely know when
you've done it.  I rolled it in a few inches at a time, and ended up
cutting off about an inch from each spline at the end (rolling seemed
to stretch the spline out.)  When I was done, I cut the excess off all
four sides.

5) The door looks nice but the whole project took almost an hour. (I
told you I had a hard time with the spline).   With more experience, I
could probably get it down to 10-15 minutes, but if I can find a
hardware store that can re-install screen with flat spline, I may just
pay someone to do it from now one.

 We had the same problem, put in a pet screen, and the pet pushed the screen
out from the spline.

So, you have to get a metal guard, too.  Actually, we had to get 2 of them
to go up high enough.
