Tools needed:
In this step, you will hang the storm
door in the opening.
Position the door in the opening so
that the edge of the hinge rail is ush
with the end of the rain cap, and the
top end of the hinge rail is butted up
against the underside of the rain cap
(Figure 13).
While holding door in position,
mark onto the mounting surface the
location of the top-most pre-drilled
hole in the hinge rail. Once marked,
remove door from opening and set
aside.
Using the 1/8” drill bit, drill a hole
in the mounting surface where you
placed the mark.
Reposition the door in the opening
and align the pre-drilled hole in the
hinge rail with the hole that you
drilled in the mounting surface.
Fasten the door to the mounting
surface using one (1) #8 x 1” screw.
Using the level, make sure that the
door is plumb (straight up and down).
While holding door in position,
use the 1/8” drill bit to drill holes in
the mounting surface through the
pre-drilled holes in the hinge rail.
Fasten the hinge rail to the mounting
surface using ve (5) #8 x 1 screws
(Figure 14).
Open the storm door.
Using the 1/8” drill bit, drill holes in
the door jamb through the pre-drilled
holes in the hinge rail.
Fasten the hinge rail to the door
jamb using eight (8) #8 x 1 screws
(Figure 15). Do not overtighten the
screws.
Starting at the mitered corners,
remove the clear protective tape
from both the interior and exterior of
the door frame, if applicable.
Center glass panel in bottom of door
frame and carefully tilt it forward into
opening in frame.
While holding glass panel in place,
start inserting the side retainers
(Figure 16):
• Position the side retainer at the top
of the door frame cavity and then
press ange of the side retainer
rmly into the door channel (Figure
17), until you hear a snap. Continue
this process until the entire retainer
is snapped into door frame.
• Install the other side retainer and
both top and bottom retainers using
these same techniques.
