ENTRY DOOR
The entry door is adjusted at the factory and tested for all operations. The door incorporates three
separate seals to eliminate wind noise during travel. The door uses two separate locks for safety and
security. One locking system is the door handle and the other is a dead bolt. The door handle incorpo-
rates a primary and secondary latching system. This is used to ensure secure and safe latching. There are
adjustments which can be made to help maintain entry door performance.
Adjusting the Entry Door Latch:
• Determine which bolt needs adjustment.
• Slowly close the entry door observing the latch and strike bolt alignment. Do not attempt to
latch if the alignment is off. If the alignment is correct, allow the latch to catch in the first
(primary) position only.
• The latch should move to the second position with only slight pressure applied to the entry
door. Upper and lower latches should be evenly timed.
• Press on the entry door to check for further movement of the door.
• The entry handle should operate with little effort to open the entry door. Excessive pressure
indicates the bolts are set too far back.
• With a 5/8” inch box wrench or socket, loosen the movable strike bolt. Make all adjustments
in small increments. Tighten the bolt firmly after making adjustments. The bolts should
have slight up and down movement for vibration control in travel.
• Test the operation of the dead bolt lock to ensure proper functions.
• Apply silicone weekly to the entry door rubber gaskets to prevent squeaking while the
motorhome is traveling. Use a one inch sponge paint brush, sprayed with silicone for easy
application.
CAUTION:
When operating the entry door ensure the dead bolt latch is fully in the unlock posi-
tion prior to closing the entry door. Failure to do so can result in damage to the dead
bolt and/or entry door.
Screen Door Maintenance
Changing Screen Door Glass:
• The screen slider is
Lexan
, the slider can be bowed for removal and replacement.
• Replace with new
Lexan
and reverse the procedure.
Adjusting the Screen Door:
• Loosen the bolts on the hinge side of the screen door; two on the top and two on the bottom.
• The hinge has slots to allow in and out movement to properly adjust the screen. The hinge
should fit tightly to the trim of the entry door when the screen door is latched to the door
and the door is open.
Removable Screen:
• The top half of the screen door is removable. This allows clear viewing through the entry
door glass while traveling.
• To remove the top half of the screen door for travel, rotate clips and remove the screen.
• To store the screen for travel, use the clips provided on the bottom half of the screen door.
