Installation Guide

Verify that the exterior brick mold, trim board or casing is rmly attached to the opening. The storm door
will sag over time if the mounting surface is not suciently fastened to the entryway.
To install the storm door, you must verify that the opening width, height and mounting surface are
sucient.
1. Measure the width at the top, middle, and bottom of the opening (Figure 2). Measure from the inside
of the brick mold or exterior trim. Refer to Table 1.
2. Measure the height at the center of the opening. Measure from the inside of the brick mold or exterior
trim, down to the top of the bottom sill. Refer to Table 1.
3. Make sure that the brick mold or exterior trim meets the mounting surface requirements to install the
rain cap, hinge rail and latch rail (Figure 3). You must have a minimum of:
• 1” mounting surface depth.
• 3/4” mounting surface front.
• 2 1/2” handle clearance

For opening widths up to 1” wider or for mounting surface depth between 5/8” - 3/4”, please call
