Your Larson storm door is R E V E R S A - H I N G E
™
meaning that the door is designed for either right hand
or left hand hinge installation. Looking at your door
opening from the outside, determine which side you
want the hinge on. Turn your new door upside down to
have the hinge on the opposite side.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: If you choose to have the
storm door handle on the same side as your prime
door hardware, you MUST verify that there will be
NO interference between the two handles or
hardware.
The “hinged Z-bar assembly” (or hinged door frame) is packaged unattached.
It can be mounted to either side of the door.
Lay the door flat on saw horses (outer front face of door facing up). Place the
“hinge Z-bar assembly” on the edge of the door as shown with each hinge
leaf turned down (see Figure 4). Check to see that the aluminum Z-bar is
orientated as shown in illustrations (Figure 6 for a left-hand hinged door, or
Figure 7 for a right-hand hinged door).
Move “hinge Z-bar assembly” up or down until the top of the z-bar hangs over
the top edge of the door 1/16"–1/8". (See Figure 5) Mark the top hole of the
top hinge and drill an 1/8" pilot hole. Fasten with one screw, using screw A or
B depending on door thickness of model being installed. The top end of the
Z-bar MUST overhang the top of the door 1/16" to 1/8". The bottom end
will be cut to length later.
Align each hinge leaf along the edge
of the door, drill 1/8" pilot holes, and
complete the attachment of each
hinge to the door using screw A or
B—again depending on the model.
N O T E : Hinged Z-bar must swing
after securing hinges to the door.
Rotate per Figure 4.
