3 THE SCREEN CASSETTE The Screen Cassette Assembly can be installed on either the right or left side of the door frame by flipping the Screen Cassette end for end. The rounded side of the Screen Cassette will face outward. Decide if you will install the Screen Cassette on the right or left side of the door, and determine which end of the Boot Body [FIG. 3.1] will be the top. Attach the Boot Body End Cap using three #6 x 3/4"(19mm) Phillips Flathead Screws.

BOTTOM GUIDE: Using the width measurements taken in Step 2, subtract 2-1/4"(57mm) from the opening width to determine the needed length and cut the Bottom Guide Rail to that length.

To install, cut the Threshold Transition to the door opening width, less 4-1/4"(114mm).
