SILL EXPANDER ADJUSTMENT
Using a utility knife, trim
the flexible flap so that
it will just touch at both
ends when the screen
assembly is closed. The
flexible flap should just
touch the door sill. If
adjustment is necessary,
loosen the adjustment
screws slightly and move
up or down as necessary.
Retighten screws.
PASSIVE SCREEN ASTRAGAL SLIDE BOLT INSTALLATION
1. Position a slide bolt on
the screen assembly top
rail 3/8" from the edge
of the screen stile and
1/16" below the bottom
of the head z-bar. Mark
screw hole locations
and drill 7/64" pilot
holes where marked.
Secure with two screws.
2. Place the strike plate on
the door sill flush with
the edge of the screen
stile and against the
inside face of the sill
expander. Mark screw
hole locations using the
slot ends furthest from
the sill expander and
drill 7/64"pilot holes
where marked. Install
strike plate screws but
do not tighten.
3. Position a slide bolt
on the sill expander
3/8" from the edge of
the screen stile and
1/16" above the top of
the strike plate and mark screw locations. Drill 7/64"pilot holes where
marked and attach the slide bolt. Pull the strike plate in against the
slide bolt tip and tighten screws.
4. Cut foam pad 3/8" square and apply just below the slide bolt to provide
a cushion between the screen and the strike plate.

SINGLE & DOUBLE ACTIVE SCREEN HANDLE & STRIKE INSTALLATION
1. Seat the spindle and
spring into the outside
handle. Reverse feed
the handle through the
backside of the housing
and ensure the handle
is properly seated.
2. From the exterior, seat
the outside handle
and spindle through
the pre-drilled holes
(spindle will seat
through the middle
hole). Support the
handle until screws are inserted in next step.
3. From the interior, align the inside handle and spindle so that the spindle
seats into the hole located in the middle of the inside handle set. Ensure
the inside handle will seat flush against the screen door. Insert machine
screws and tighten until the outside handle and inside handle are
secured.
4. For a single door, position the latch strike plate (and strike shims if
required) onto the door jamb at the approximate vertical center line of
the inside handle. Mark and drill two 7/64" pilot holes in the center of
the screw slots and install with two screws. Close the screen assembly
and check for proper operation and engagement. If necessary, adjust
shims behind the strike plate.
5. For passive screen handle installation on a French screen, follow steps
1 - 3 above.
