  • Phiffer® Charcoal mesh are standard on all units.

    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.
    Mounting Diagram
    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.
