    What Is a Wicket Screen?

    A wicket is the individual hinged pane within a window screen that flips up or pushes out, giving you access to the window crank or latch without removing the entire screen. Wicket screens are essential for casement windows, awning windows, and any window with hardware that needs to be reached from the interior.

    The key difference from a standard flat screen is the 3/4" stand-off frame. This creates clearance between the screen and the window so the crank handle or push-out arm can operate freely without hitting the screen mesh.

    Types We Install

    Push-Out Wickets

    Hinged panels that push outward for window access. Most common on casement windows.

    Crank-Out Lip/Flange

    Specialized screens with lip frames that snap or clip into the window frame around crank-out hardware.

    Skylight Wickets

    Custom wicket screens for skylight windows — hinged to allow ventilation control.

    The 3/4" Stand-Off Frame

    Standard flat screens sit flush against the window frame. Wicket screens need extra depth — the 3/4" stand-off frame creates clearance so the window crank or push-out arm can operate without pressing against the mesh. Without this stand-off, the screen mesh gets pushed into the hardware, causing tears and premature failure.

    Wicket Replacement Options

    Individual wicket pane replacement
    Wicket re-meshing (keep existing frame)
    Hinge and latch replacement

    Wicket Screen FAQs

    A wicket is the individual hinged pane within a window screen that flips up or pushes out, allowing you to access the window handle or crank. A full window screen covers the entire window opening. Wicket screens are common on casement and crank-out windows where the screen needs an opening for the hardware.

    Yes! In many cases, only the wicket pane needs replacement — not the entire screen. We can replace individual wicket panes, re-mesh existing wickets, or replace the hinges and latches. This is significantly cheaper than a full screen replacement.

    Absolutely. Crank-out windows require specialized lip or flange screens with wicket openings. We build these to your exact window dimensions with proper clearances for the crank mechanism.

    For the estimate, yes — we need access to measure your windows and doors, and it helps to walk through your needs in person. For installation day, you don't need to be present the entire time, but we do need someone to let us in and be available for a final walkthrough when we're done. Most installs take 1–4 hours depending on the scope.
