I took a chance these were the correct pegs for my window frame. They are not. Product appears to be of nice quality although I was unable to test functionality.

These screen pins work great, but make sure to read the instructions first. You might need to drill out the holes in your screen to fit these larger pins, but that’s easy to do with the right drill bit. Once installed, they work exactly as intended. Plus, these pins are hard to find if you’re not buying from Amazon, so it’s worth picking them up here. A solid product!

Good replacement for the plastic ones that came with my Marvin window screen. I gave it a 4 rather than a five because it took more strength than I had to get the caps to snap on, but channel lock pliers did the trick.

Purchased to replace plungers that started breaking because the older plastic started cracking falling off. Seem like good quality. Easy to install.

The original retaining pins were all plastic and became brittle and broke. These replacements have a metal shaft and should be much more durable. And they fit perfectly! Measure carefully before you buy. Different replacements have different shaft diameters.

These worked great! Live by the beach and the old ones had become corroded and would not work. Be sure to measure the size that you need, and these fit the screens perfectly. Wouldn't have known there were different sizes. Only thing was pushing to get them to click into place was a little difficult, but turned the screen upside down and pushed and it clicked right in. Have bought more for all my screens.

Bought a new house and discovered a half dozen screens had plungers that were so broken the screens were falling off. Previous owner had tried to tape them on. These were a perfect replacement.Only minor complaint is that they have black caps as in the picture not white as in the description, but either works. The black blend with the mesh.Hardest part was getting the old stuck and broken plastic plungers out. Had to use a nail punch. Instructions say to use a 5/32 drill hole for the plunger end, but I found that was too tight and hard to get the springs in. Went with 11/64 and had no issues. When putting the caps on, use a wrench and squeeze each end lightly until you feel the cap pop on the plunger if you want to save your fingers.
