No rubber channel on wood screen doors, the wood is bowed a bit and
the screen stapled into a rabbet and as the bow is released the
screen is tensioned. Rabbet, staples and raw edge get's covered with
moulding strip.

Yes, that's normal but one *can* use a metal channel and rubber spline. I
got tired of the PITA of replacing screen (cat) in my conventional wooden
one and routed a dado for the aluminum channel that is about 1/4 x 1/2. Ran
some caulk in, set the channel in the caulk, let dry, applied the screen and
spline. Much easier to change now.
