For most applications, the height of the door will require adjustment. This may require
adjusting the top, bottom, or both expanders.
Start with the top expander. Loosen a top expander screw using a Phillips-head
screwdriver. Use a at head screwdriver at the edge of the door as a lever to extend the
expander until the plastic guides are just inside the sill pocket or until the wheels are
pressing against the top of the sill pocket, which may or may not include a guide rail.
Tighten the expander screw. Repeat for the other top corner of the sliding patio screen
door.
If the top of the door is still not fully engaged in the patio door sill track, repeat this
adjustment at each bottom corner of the patio screen door to increase the height of the
screen door until it fully engages in the patio door top sill track.
Test to check if the door slides smoothly. If not, make small adjustments to each corner of
the bottom expander until satised. (Fig. 6)

Press the bug sweep back into the door frame in the channel opposite the handle side. If
bug sweep is too long for the installed height of the patio screen door, carefully trim excess
with a utility knife. When the screen is closed, the bug sweep should t snugly against the
stationary glass panel of the patio door. If bug sweep is too wide, impeding the operation of
the screen door, carefully trim excess along the grooves provided. (Fig. 7)
