How to Mount
Before measuring, consider your mounting options:
Screens can be installed on exterior or interior
of a structure, inside the frame or on the outside of the frame (shown
below). Handles are on both
sides of the screen so you can open and close the screen from either
side. When determining mounting style and postion be aware of handles
and hardware on existing doors, standing area on both sides of the
closed door/screen while being aware of which way permanent door opens.
These will all contribute to your decision on mounting position and
whether pulling right or left to open for side pull will be better for your needs. If ScreenEx screen is replacing an existing storm
door, most times it is easiest to install ScreenEx where the old storm/screen
door is installed.
Side Pull can be installed
as a right pull or left pull. This can be decided at time of installation
but may be a consideration when determining whether you mount on the
exterior or interior of structure.
French Doors use 2 side pull units with a single
track top and bottom. It is necessary to advise Sales Associate that
you are ordering for a French Door applictaion when ordering. A stationary
lock can be used to keep one screen locked while the other is used as
an active doorway. Stationary locks are optional and recommended for
a double door openings.
Patio Decks and Garage Doors: Up to 16' or 18' wide, order two 8' or 9' kits the same size. Advise
sales associate that your opening requires a multiple unit install
so that we provide you with a removable dual-track (back-to-back)
center pole with floor slide bolt (stationary lock). A 1/2" hole must
be drilled into floor.
