Default Re-screening a door

Asked this question in a thread up yonder but it apparently got overlooked.

I need to re-screen a screen door. Will probably use fiberglass (the
aluminum screen has started disintegrating after only about 10 years).
Wooden door with wood screen mold (about 1/4" thick).

I'm thinking of lining up the factory edge of the screen with the edge
of the opening, stapling the screen to the door, getting it nice and
tight, tacking on the molding, then trimming the excess screen from the
other sides. Is this the best way to do this? I've never done this task
before.
