To install the latch assembly and door closer,

refer to the instructions included in the

hardware box provided by the manufacturer.

An easy to use drill template is included with

your hinged screen door. This will allow you to

precisely drill the holes needed to attach the

latch assembly for your hinged screen door.

To use, slide the two parts of the drill template

together.

Position latch handle assembly to avoid any

interference with primary door lock set. Slip

EZ drill template on screen door where

latch is to be installed. Mark latch strike hole

positions from inside of doorway. Pre-drill

3 holes with a 5/16" drill bit using the drill

template and install handle hardware (Fig 11).

Using the EZ Drill Template and hardware mounting instructions

Once screen door is mounted, verify that it ts

properly. The top of the screen door to the top

of the door frame opening should have a reveal

of approximately 3/16".

The latch side of the screen door should also

have a gap of approximately 3/16" from the

frame jamb.

With the sill expander installed, there should be

a gap of approximately 1/4" from the bottom of

the screen door to the oor (Fig. 10).

Measure the current overall door width

including the expander channel. Mark & cut sill

channel expander to this dimension.

Position sill channel expander on bottom of

screen door aligned with the edge of the door.

Adjust its position to create an even 1/4" gap

between the threshold and the sill channel

expander.

Temporarily tape sill channel expander in

place with masking tape. Mark and pre-drill

(3) sill channel expander attachment holes as

indicated on interior side using 1/8" drill bit.

Secure with #8 x 3/8" screws provided (Fig. 9).

With hinge channel expander attached to door

frame, carefully slide screen door into the hinge

channel as far as it will go. Ensure hinge channel is

ush with door frame at the top (Fig. 7). Close the

door carefully and slowly adjust the t and alignment

of the door in the frame. Insert wood shim or spacer

(approx. 3/16" thick) between frame and latch side

of door. Slowly adjust door in the hinge channel until

gap is uniform (3/16") top to bottom (Fig. 10).

Once the screen door is completely aligned, mark

and pre-drill 4 holes through the exterior of the

hinge channel expander and the door using 1/8" drill

bit. The holes should be 1/4" from the edge of the

hinge channel expander, with one adjacent to the

top hinge, one adjacent to the bottom hinge, and

remaining 2 equidistant between them. Secure the

hinge channel expander to the door using the #8 x

3/8" screws provided

(Fig. 8)

. Repeat this procedure

on the inside of the screen door.

Position the hinge channel expander on entry

door frame where installation will be made, leave

a 3/16" gap at top of frame (Fig. 6).

Note: An extra set of hands to hold channel

while installing screws will make this step easier.

Using one of the #10 x 1" at screws provided,

attach channel using top hole in top hinge, on

to the door frame. Without letting channel loose,

and using a level, check that hinge channel is

ush with exterior face of door frame. Using a

pencil, mark the location of all the hinge holes.

Use a 1/8" drill bit to pre-drill the holes. Secure

channel by attaching each hinge to the frame

with screws provided (#10 x 1" at head screws).

Cut bottom of the hinge channel expander

Using sheet metal snips or a hacksaw, cut the

lower section of the hinge channel expander

where marked in Step 4 (Fig. 5).

Using a le, clean the edges of both the top

and bottom of the channel to remove sharp

burrs.

Take the adjusted measurement in box 2 and with

a tape measure, mark this distance on the channel

but measure from the top of the channel (where it

was previously cut) to the bottom and make a line

around the expander channel. IMPORTANT: Make

certain, you measure from the previously cut end.

Subtract 2-3/16"

Result is hinge channel expander cut length

Cut top of hinge channel expander

With the hinge channel on the correct side

based on Step 1, measure down 1" from the

top of the expander and draw a pencil line

around the entire perimeter. Write the word

"TOP" under the line for later reference.

Note: Use masking tape around channel

where measuring and cutting will be done.

It reduces scrapes from cutting, and is easy

to mark a line with any type of pencil or pen

(Fig. 3).

Using sheet metal snips or a hacksaw with

a ne tooth metal cutting blade, cut off this

excess section of channel.

Reverse swing direction if necessary

If the opposite swing direction is needed, remove

the hinge channel expander and cartwheel it 180°

(Fig. 2).

Reposition the hinge channel expander on the

opposite side of the screen door.

Again, the hinge knuckles face the front of the

door.

Determine which way the screen door should

swing. The hinge side of the screen door

should be on the same hinge side of your

main entry door (Fig. 1).

This door is designed to swing outward so

the hinge knuckles are facing the front of

the door. The screen door is precongured

with the hinge channel expander on the

left side. If this conguration is opposite of

your desired swing direction, go to step 2,

otherwise go to step 3.
