Installation instructions for Storm
Doors.
Please read instructions carefully and completely
before proceeding with installation. On pre-hung doors, all installation
holes are pre-drilled to ensure easy and proper installation.
1. Unpackage door and hardware carton.
Remove glass and screen inserts from the door by releasing finger latches
and lifting up and inward.
2. If the door was ordered as a Western
application, (casing with 1 1/8" or deeper rabbet), the door will
be furnished with a set of Snap-On adapters to increase the depth of the
Z-Bar frame. If applicable, snap the adapters on.
3. Try door in the frame opening.
Generally, the vertical Z-Bars have to be trimmed at the bottom with a
hacksaw. Measure the appropriate height on both sides and cut to fit.
The hinge side should be tight into the casing. To accomplish this, it
may be necessary to shim behind the Z-Bar in order to keep the door unit
level and plumb. Caulking should be applied to the back of the Z-Bar.
4. On the hinge side, install # 8
x 1" wood screws into the casing through the pre-drilled holes in
the face of the Z-Bar. Pull the latch side of the door out slightly, just
enough to remove the shipping screw which fastens the bottom of the Z-Bar
to the door slab. NOTE: Replace this screw in the end of the slab. Swing
door back into the opening and install #8 x 1" wood screws through
remaining pre-drilled holes in Z-Bar sides and then the header. Make certain
that door unit remains plumb and level and that the margin between the
door slab and the Z-Bar is consistent around the perimeter of the door.
5. Check the door for proper operation.
With the door on the open position, install #6 x 1 ¼ " through
the pre-drilled holes in the hinge and Z-Bar into the jamb casing.
6. The door is now ready to receive
the lockset, door closer, and door protector chain.
7. LOCKSET: Install in accordance
with instructions furnished with the lockset. If door was ordered pre-hung
and with standard hardware, there will be pre-drilled installation holes.
If door does not latch properly, it may be necessary to shim the striker
for proper latch engagement.
8. CLOSER: Install in accordance with
the instructions furnished with the closer. It will be necessary to pre-drill
installation holes according to the instructions provided.
9. CHAIN: Install according to the
instructions furnished with the hardware. It will be necessary to pre-drill
installation holes according to the instructions provided.
10. DOOR CLOSER: Tension should be
adjusted to provide best operation with the appropriate insert (glass
or screen) installed in the door.
11. ADJUSTABLE BOTTOM EXPANDER: Adjust
for appropriate position and fasten with self-tapping screws provided.
12. Thoroughly caulk full perimeter
of Z-Bars to casings if desired.
NOTE: Screens are intended to provide reasonable insect control
and are not intend to provide security.
