Components

The components in (FIGURE 1) are typical of the

items that must be installed on a two-wide door.

Not shown is the installation pack (see Page 4).

The inset in (FIGURE 1) shows the two possible

sill track configurations.

Because the components are custom sized to fit,

no cutting is required.

The following instructions describe the complete

installation procedure for a two-wide door.

Where installation differs because of door type,

you will be referred to the “Installation Variation”section which shows details for other door types.

No matter what door type, installation consists of

assembling the screen cassette(s) to the head

track and sill track, slipping the assembly into the

door frame, and screwing the assembly in place.

Some hardware needs to be attached and is

dependent upon door and screen type.

Following the installation instructions is a parts

list.

Most components will fit only one way and are

not “handed”.

The screen cassette(s) can be installed on either

side of the doorway but must be flipped end-

for-end so the flat side is always towards the

structure’s interior (FIGURE 2).

Consequently, the end cap with the tension

adjustment spring can be either at the top or

bottom of the screen cassette (FIGURE 2).

Typical unit installation diagrams are shown on

the following pages.

The following instructions show installation

on a two-wide, side hinged door unit.

Basic installation and adjustment steps are

similar for all door types.

Significantly different installation require-

ments will be explained and illustrated.

Unless stated otherwise for your door type,

complete the following procedures.

7

Installation Preparation

1. Clean all areas of existing door frame. Include

the sill, head jamb, and side jambs. A clean flat

surface is required for proper screen installation

and operation (FIGURE 1).

2. Unpack all components and lay them out on a

protected surface (FIGURE 2). These are the

parts for a two-wide, side hinged door. Pictured

from front to rear are: the sill track, screen

cassette, screen cassette, and head track.

3. One screen cassette on multi-wide units will

have a slide bolt operator mounted (FIGURE 3).

When installed, this cassette should be located

so its screen will be in front of the inactive door

panel.

FIGURE 1

FIGURE 2

SLIDE BOLT OPERATORFIGURE 3

Assemble Components

IMPORTANT: For slide bolt units, be

sure cassette with slide bolt operator is assem-

bled to the head track so the operator will align

with the inactive door panel when the screen is

extended.

NOTE: The head track for all retractable door

screens is the same style.

1. Position head track and a screen cassette as

shown in (FIGURE 1). The screen cassette’s

rounded side faces the exterior. The horizontal

groove in the head track faces the exterior

(FIGURE 4).

2. Insert tabs on screen cassette into channels on

the head track (FIGURE 2). Both tabs rest on top

of their channels (FIGURES 2 & 3).

3. Slide screen cassette fully into the head track.

When cassette is completely inserted the joint

between screen cassette and head track should

look like (FIGURE 4).

4. Assemble second screen cassette to head track

the same way.

IMPORTANT: For slide bolt units, be

sure cassette with slide bolt operator is assem-

bled to the sill track so the operator will align

with the inactive door panel when the screen is

extended.

NOTE: Sill track may vary from what is pictured

here. The sill track shipped with your

screen unit is matched to your door.

1. Position sill track and a screen cassette as

shown in (FIGURE 4). The screen cassette’s pull

bar faces the exterior. The longer sloped side of

the sill faces the interior (FIGURE 4).

2. Insert tab on screen cassette into channel in the

sill track (FIGURES 5 & 6).

Some sill tracks look like (FIGURE 5A) and are

assembled to the screen cassette the same way

the head track is assembled.

3. When the cassette and sill track are fully assem-

bled the joint should look like (FIGURE 7).

4. Assemble second screen cassette to the sill and

head track the same way.

care so that components do

not come apart or get damaged.

1. From the exterior, place the screen assembly

into the door frame (FIGURE 1).

2. Slide each screen cassette sideways until it is in

full contact with its respective side jamb.

3. Ensure head track is in full contact with door

head jamb (FIGURE 2).

4. Use a level and check that screen cassettes are

vertical and plumb.

5. With cassettes plumb and vertical and the head

track fully against door head jamb the sill track

location should be automatically established.

6. Gently clamp screen cassettes in the door

frame opening to securely hold the assembly level

and plumb.

7. Using the screen’s pull bar, alternately pull each

screen to the mid-point of the door opening to

check for operation and alignment.

7a. For one-wide units, pull screen fully open to

side jamb to test operation.

8. Make adjustments needed to ensure smooth

screen extension and retraction. See Page 15 forscreen tension adjustments.9. Allow screens to fully retract into cassettes.

Secure Screen Assembly

1. While screen assembly is held securely in

place, measure 6" from side jamb and drill a 3/32"

diameter pilot hole through the sill track down into

the door threshold (FIGURE 1).

2. Drill a second 3/32" pilot hole at 20" out from the

side jamb (FIGURE 2).

3. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 for the opposite side of

the sill track.

4. Unclamp screen assembly and carefully lift

entire assembly clear of the door opening.

5. Clear away all metal shavings from drilling the

pilot holes.

6. Apply silicone sealant to each of the pilot holes

drilled in Steps 1 - 3. Sealant provides a seal after

the sill track is screwed in place.

7. Carefully replace screen assembly into the door

opening. Recheck for plumb and level. Align pilot

holes in sill track with pilot holes in door threshold.

Do not over tighten screws.

Sill track could be distorted

causing difficult screen operation.

8. Screw sill track to threshold with #8 x 1" Phillips

pan head type A stainless screws through each

pilot hole (FIGURE 3).

9. Apply #8 x 1/2" Phillips pan head with #6 head

TEK 410 stainless screws evenly across the width

of the head track to secure head track to the

door’s head jamb (FIGURE 4).

IMPORTANT: Ensure all screws are

driven deep enough and straight so the screw

heads will not interfere with screen extension

and retraction.

Install Sill Slide Bolt Keeper

1. Pull enough screen from each cassette so the

screen will meet in the middle of the door opening

(FIGURE 1). Magnetic strips built into the screen

frames will hold the two sections together.

2. Locate the sill slide bolt keeper and attachment

screws in the installation pack (FIGURE 2). Place

slide bolt keeper on sill as shown (FIGURE 2) and

locate so notch in keeper lines up with the sill slide

bolt.

3. Using the slide bolt keeper as a guide, drill two

3/32" diameter pilot holes into the sill track through

the keeper (FIGURE 3).

4. Fasten sill slide bolt keeper to sill track with two

#8 x 3/4" Phillips pan head type A 410 stainless

steel screws (FIGURE 4).

Install Head Slide Bolt Keeper

1. Locate the head slide bolt keeper and attach-

ment screws in the installation pack (FIGURE 1).

2. Place slide bolt keeper on head as shown

(FIGURE 1). Operate the slide bolt to help locate

the keeper on the screen frame. Notch in keeper

straddles the head slide bolt (FIGURE 1).

Drill only deep enough to

make hole in head track. Do

not drill into screen frame.

2. Using the slide bolt keeper as a guide, drill two

3/32" diameter pilot holes into the head track

through the keeper (FIGURE 2).

Do not over-tighten screws.

Keeper could be damaged with

too much force.

4. Fasten head slide bolt keeper with two #4 x

Adjust Screen Interior Handles

FIGURE 1

FIGURE 2

FIGURE 3

The interior handles come pre-mounted on the

inside of the screen frame; however they may

need to be adjusted up or down so they are not in

the way of the door handles.

To Adjust Handles

1. With screen sections fully extended, close door

panels enough to see if screen handles and door

handles clear each other. They interfere in

(FIGURE 1).

2. Open interior door to get it out of the way. Then

use a soft hammer or padded wood block to gently

tap the screen handle up or down (your choice)

until the screen handle is clear of the door handle

(FIGURE 3).

3. Check the other screen section and adjust as

needed.

4. For good looks and function adjust both screen

handles to the same height (FIGURE 4).

FIGURE 4

15

Tension Adjustment

Screen tension can be adjusted. Proper screen

tension provides easy operation for both extension

and retraction.

Screen tension was set at a nominal level at the

factory but may need to be adjusted to meet your

specific needs and conditions.

To adjust screen tension it is necessary to remove

the screen cassettes from the doorway.

1. Retract the screens so they are completely in

their respective cassettes.

2. Remove the screws holding the head and sill

track to the door frame. Keep the screws for reinstallation.3. Carefully lift the screen assembly out of the door

frame opening.

4. One at a time, slide the screen cassettes out of

the head and sill tracks. Set head and sill tracks

aside for reinstallation.

The screen retraction system

is under rotational spring ten-

sion. When the end cap is removed it will want

to quickly unwind. Prevent injury or damage by

firmly holding end cap as you start the removal

process.

Holding the end cap from unwinding will also

ensure your starting point for adjusting spring

tension.

IMPORTANT: Tension is adjusted

using the end cap with the spring. See FIGURE

2 on Page 2. It may be located on the top or

bottom of the screen cassette, depending on

how the cassette is mounted in the doorway.

5. Use a stiff bladed putty knife to gently pry

between the end cap and screen cassette

(FIGURE 1).

6. Do not let the end cap unwind. Start lifting the

end cap out of the screen cassette (FIGURE 2).

Pull the end cap out only far enough for the locator

pins to release from their sockets (FIGURE 3).

Once the locator pins are clear of the screen

cassette, the end cap will want to unwind due to

spring tension.

7. When the locator pins are free of their sockets,

wind the end cap as shown in (FIGURE 3) to

increase tension. Two to four complete revolutions

are usually enough to provide a noticeable tension

increase.

To decrease tension let the end cap unwind a few

revolutions.

Tension Adjustment (cont.)

If the end cap fully unwinds, proceed as follows.

1. Be sure locator pins are pulled clear of their

sockets.

2. Wind end cap as shown in (FIGURE 3, Page

15). Apply 14 to 17 full revolutions of the end cap

to achieve a “normal” effective operating tension.

You may need more or less tension depending on

screen size, desired operating speed, etc.

3. With end cap manually held to retain spring

tension, align the bushing key (FIGURE 4), on

the nylon bushing, with the narrow keyway.

4. With the key and narrow keyway aligned, slide

the nylon bushing into the screen roll core.

5. Rotate end cap until the locator pins align with

the locator pin sockets in the screen cassette

(FIGURE 5). Be sure tab for the sill track aligns

with the pull bar.

6. Then push end cap into the screen cassette

until the end cap is fully seated in the screen

cassette (FIGURE 6).

7. Adjust tension on other screen cassette as

explained above.

8. Reassemble head and sill tracks to screen

cassettes.

9. Reinstall screen assembly in the door opening.

10. Test screen operation. Make additional

adjustments as needed. Follow the previous

instructions until acceptable screen operation is

achieved.

Additional Adjustments

If adjusting screen tension does not provide

smooth extension and retraction, there may be

parts binding in the head or sill tracks.

With Screen Installed

1. Use your finger to carefully check for screw

heads that may be interfering with screen motion.

Reset screws as needed.

2. Check head and sill tracks for a physical

obstruction caused by debris. Remove item.

3. Spray interior of cleaned sill and head track with

silicone spray lubrication.

If further adjustment is required, the unit will need

to be uninstalled. Follow previous instructions.

With Screen Unit Uninstalled

1. Sliding bar ends may be too wide for the head

and sill track (FIGURE 1). To access sliding bar

ends, pull out enough screen from the screen cas-

sette to clear the end cap sill and head track tabs.

Remove sliding bar ends (FIGURE 1). Manually

trim using 180 grit sandpaper on a flat, firm sand-

ing block. Trim both the head and bottom sliding

bar ends if needed.

2. Reassemble sliding bar ends into the top and

bottom of the pull bars.

If the whole screen assembly seems too tall it can

be trimmed shorter.

To Trim Screen and Cassette

1. Prepare a flat, smooth work surface that will

allow supporting the screen cassette level with saw

table.

2. Remove unit from doorway. Follow previous

instructions.

3. Remove screen cassettes from head and sill

track. Follow previous instructions.

4. Remove bottom end cap from cassette to be

trimmed. Follow previous instructions. Remember

this unit is under rotational spring tension and must

be removed carefully.

5. Pull the end cap and its attached components

completely out of the screen core.

6. Remove the sliding bar end from the bottom of

the pull bar (FIGURE 1, above).

7. Cassette end ready for trimming should look like

(FIGURE 3). In this image the rolled screen is

pushed into the cassette and away from the cut

line. This cut will reduce cassette and pull bar

length. The screen could be trimmed by sliding it

out into the saw blade’s path.

FIGURE 1

FIGURE 2

TRIM BOTHEDGES

FIGURE 3

Trim Screen Cassette Cont.

Follow all power saw safety

practices. Use only a blade

suitable for non-ferrous metal cutting. Wear

safety glasses and hearing protection.

8. Carefully cut screen cassette to new length

(FIGURE 4).

9. Clean cut surface to remove all burrs and

metal shavings.

Reassemble Cassette Components

1. Insert sliding bar ends into pull bars.

2. The end cap assembly, removed prior to trim-

ming the screen cassette, looks like either item in

(FIGURE 5). The brake end cap slips in following

instructions in Steps 3 – 5 below.

The tension spring unit must be “wound up”. See

Pages 15 and 16 for setting proper operating

tension and reinstalling this style end cap.

3. For the shorter cap, align keys on the end cap

with the keyway in the screen core (FIGURE 6).

4. Once keys and keyway align, slide the cap

assembly into the screen cassette until the end

cap is close to the cassette (FIGURE 7).

5. Align locator pins with their sockets. Once pins

align, push end cap fully into screen cassette.

Follow the “Tension Adjustment” instructions on

Pages 15 and 16 to reset tension on each screen

and complete end cap reassembly before installing

unit back into the doorway.

Installation Variation – One-Wide & Center Hinged Doors

Install Screen Keeper

One-wide doors require installing a keeper on the

door side jamb to hold the screen in its fully

opened position.

The screen pull bar is equipped with a full length

groove that latches to the keeper (FIGURE 1),

providing keeper mounting flexibility.

1. Locate screen keeper about half way up the

height of the doorway side jamb and in line with

the screen handle.

2. Position keeper against the door side jamb as

shown in (FIGURE 2). Use the keeper holes as a

drilling template and drill a 5/32" diameter pilot

hole in each location.

IMPORTANT: Do not over tighten

screws.

3. Attach keeper to door frame using two #6 x 3/4"

stainless steel flat head screws (FIGURE 3) that

are included in the “Installation Pack”.

Installation Variation – Center Hinged Door

Install L-Brackets

The screen cassette is secured to the astragal by

means of an L-Bracket that is screwed securely to

the astragal (FIGURE 1).

1. The L-Brackets are located in the “Installation

Pack” that came with your screen. The bracket

quantity is based on door type and size.

2. The L-Bracket slips over the screen cassette

(FIGURE 3) with the longer leg facing the astragal.

3. Each screen cassette should have at least two

L-Brackets applied. Locate one bracket 14" to 16"

from the head end cap and one the same distance

from the sill end cap (FIGURE 4).

The next pages provide detail drawings for

replaceable parts and a chart of part numbers.

The chart is arranged numerically to follow call-

out numbering in (FIGURE 1) above.

Before ordering parts, measure your existing

screen cassette height, doorway height, and

doorway width (side jamb to side jamb). Also

note the sill track type (inset in FIGURE 1).

Replacement parts are sized to fit your present

unit so measuring accuracy is important.

Instructions for part replacement are separate

from these installation instructions. They will be

sent with replacement parts orders.
