Window Screen Assembly Inspection

Inspection template for assembled window screens to verify frame squareness, spline seating, mesh tension, and visible defects before packing.

Inspection Identification

• Screen model / size recorded
  Record the product model, nominal size, or work order identifier for the screen being inspected.
• Inspection stage confirmed as pre-pack
  Confirm the screen is being inspected after assembly and before packing.
• Inspector name recorded
  Enter the name or ID of the inspector performing the check.
• Inspection date and time recorded
  Capture when the inspection was completed.
• Reference work order or batch number recorded
  Record the work order, lot, or batch number for traceability.

Frame Geometry and Assembly

• Frame is square within specification
  Check that opposite corners and diagonals indicate a square frame within the approved tolerance.
• Corner joints are fully seated and aligned
  Verify all corners are tight, flush, and free of gaps, twist, or separation.
• Frame members are straight with no visible bowing
  Inspect the frame rails for warping, bending, or distortion that could affect fit or appearance.
• Frame surface is free of dents, scratches, or burrs affecting fit
  Check for damage that could interfere with installation, handling, or customer acceptance.
• Overall frame dimensions match the work order
  Confirm the assembled screen matches the specified size and does not show obvious oversize or undersize condition.

Spline Seating and Mesh Tension

• Spline is fully seated in the channel
  Verify the spline is continuous and fully pressed into the groove around the perimeter with no lift-out or gaps.
• Mesh tension is even across the full screen
  Check that the mesh is taut and uniform from corner to corner without localized slack.
• Mesh is free of wrinkles, waves, or sagging
  Inspect the visible mesh surface for loose areas, ripples, or deformation that would be visible after installation.
• Mesh is centered and evenly trimmed at the perimeter
  Confirm the mesh overlaps are consistent and there is no excessive overhang, pullback, or exposed edge condition.
• No tears, punctures, or broken strands in mesh
  Inspect the screen surface for damage, holes, or broken filaments that would reduce function or appearance.

Final Appearance and Packing Readiness

• Screen is clean and free of debris
  Check for dust, metal shavings, adhesive residue, or other contamination on the frame or mesh.
• No loose components or unfinished fasteners present
  Verify there are no loose clips, protruding ends, or unfinished assembly elements that could detach in handling.
• Screen fits the intended packaging or handling standard
  Confirm the screen can be packed without interference, damage risk, or special handling due to assembly defects.
• Defects documented with photo evidence when present
  Capture photos of any non-conformance, including loose mesh, wrinkling, spline issues, or frame defects.
• Disposition selected for failed screens
  Choose the disposition if any defect is found.
