1. DETERMINE HINGE SIDE:
A. The storm door has been designed for either left or right hinged installation. Position
the door frame in the door opening with the top of the door at the top of the entry. The
top of the door is where the screen pull and screen cover plate are located. The hinge
side will be the side that is the door pivot point. Be sure that the window latches are
to the inside of the door.
Looking from the outside of a home:
• A right hinged door will have the handle on the left,
• A left hinged door will have the handle on the right.
B. While door frame is in door opening, hold inside handle (from handle set parts box) in
place to make sure it will not interfere with the handle of your front door. If your handles
interfere, hinge on opposite side.
C. You may wish to mark the hinge side of the door with a piece of tape for reference.
