Press the bug sweep back into the

door frame in the channel opposite

the handle side. If bug sweep is

too long for the installed height

of the patio screen door, carefully

trim excess with a utility knife.

When the screen is closed, the bug

sweep should t snugly against the

stationary glass panel of the patio

door. If bug sweep is too wide,

impeding the operation of the screen

door, carefully trim excess along the

grooves provided. (Fig. 6)

For most applications, the height of the

door will require adjustment. This may

require adjusting the top, bottom, or both

expanders.

Start with the top expander. Extend the top

expander until it fully engages in the top sill

track by rotating each top expander screw

counter-clockwise using a Phillips-head

screwdriver.

If the top of the door is not fully engaged

in the patio door sill track, repeat this

adjustment on each of the 2 bottom

expander screws to increase the height of

the screen door until it fully engages in the

patio door top sill track.

Test to check if the door slides smoothly. If

not, make small adjustments to each corner

of the bottom expander until satised.

(Fig. 5)

Place the top of the patio screen door

into the top sill track of the patio door.

Lift the bottom of the sliding screen

door into the bottom sill track of the

patio door. This may be a tight t. If

so, slip a putty knife under one wheel

assembly, compress the assembly

and lift that side of the screen door

into the track. Repeat for the other

wheel. Ensure that the wheel rests

on the guide rail in the patio door sill

track, if applicable. (Fig. 4)

opening and attach directly to door with 2 screws. (Fig. 3C)

For TYPE B, position plastic top guides into top channel near

each end. Tap lightly with hammer to install. (Fig. 3D)

Sliding patio screen

If frame sill track conguration looks like Type B without a short center rail, remove top

roller assemblies then install plastic top guides into top channel near each end. If plastic

guides are too wide to t in the door sill track you can trim each side up to 1/8" using

scissors or sheet metal snips. Insert top of sliding patio screen door into open pocket

in the top frame sill track. (Fig. 3B)

IMPORTANT: FOR SMALLER OPENINGS

Expander(s) can be removed. Turn screws counter-

clockwise alternating from right to left screw until

expander can be removed.

Fully retract top and bottom

expanders by turning the expander

adjustment screws (2 on top, 2 on

bottom) clockwise until they stop

(Fig. 1).

DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN.

Determine which way the sliding

screen panel should slide. The handle

side of the new sliding screen panel

should be the same as the sliding

glass door. The screen latch release

should face toward the inside of your

home. Carefully remove the vertical

bug sweep from the non-handle side

of the screen door. Set aside. (Fig. 2)

To reverse which side the handle is on,

cartwheel the sliding screen panel 180°

(Fig. 3).
