Loosen both top and both bottom expander channel
screws (Fig. 1). Fully retract both expanders (setting the
patio door to it's smallest possible height) and tighten
the expander screws. Determine which way the sliding
screen panel should slide. The handle side of the new
sliding screen panel should be the same as the sliding
glass door. The screen latch release should face toward
the inside of your home. Carefully remove the vertical bug
sweep from the non-handle side of the screen door. Set
aside.
To reverse which side the handle is on, cartwheel the
sliding screen panel 180°. (Fig. 2)

Place the top of the patio screen door into the top sill
track of the patio door. If the sill pocket is too deep for
the wheels to reach the surface without inserting the
door into the sill pocket and the door is too thick to t up
into the sill pocket, install the plastic top guides using a
Phillips head screwdriver, as shown. (Fig. 3)
Option: remove the wheels when plastic top guides are
installed.

Place the top of the patio screen door into
the top sill track as far as it will go when
using wheels or until the plastic guides
are just inside the sill track. (Fig. 4)
Lift the bottom of the sliding screen door
into the bottom sill track of the patio
door. This may be a tight t. If so, slip a
putty knife under one wheel assembly,
compress the assembly, and lift that side
of the screen door into the track. Repeat
for the other wheel. Ensure that the wheel
rests on the guide rail in the patio door sill
track, if applicable. (Fig. 5)
