Instructions / Assembly

There are multitudes of door threshold/sill designs and these

must be considered before you install your Retractable Screen.

For a proper installation it is important to have or create a level

and stable surface for mounting the bottom guide of the

retractable screen.

Before beginning, identify the exact location where the Screen

Cassette will be installed, because this will inﬂuence the position

of the Bottom Guide.

The following are some of the more typical threshold/sill designs

and solutions for dealing with these instances.

FLAT THRESHOLD/SILL for TRADITIONAL SCREEN

INSTRUCTIONS: Clean the surface and then mount the Retractable

Screen Bottom Guide directly to the threshold/sill.

FLAT THRESHOLD/SILL with SCREEN TRACK

INSTRUCTIONS: To span over an existing screen track and

make a ﬂat and stable surface, install material such as the Genius

“Platform Transition” [Part #: 01-12360-X-X]. Most hardware

stores also sell shim materieals or various shaped aluminum trims

that will give the same result.
