and level. If not, washers
can be placed behind
z-bar mounting holes as
necessary. Use a glue stick
to hold washers in place.
Center the head z-bar
between the door jambs.
Drive one of the supplied

Phillips flat-head screws
through the pre-punched
hole in one end. Continue
driving screws through the rest of the holes.

be placed behind z-bar mounting holes as necessary. Use a glue stick to
hold washers to the z-bar.
2. Pivot z-bar 90° open
from screen assembly
and place into door
frame. While holding
z-bar against door
jamb, lift screen
assembly up until snug
against the head z-bar.

1" self -tapping Phillips
flat-head screws,
position a screw in the
top of the uppermost
pre-punched hole and
drive until secure.
Continue down, driving
screws through the
remaining pre-punched
holes.
4. If installing double
screens, repeat steps for
the other screen.
5. Close the screen
assembly(ies) and check for uniform gap between the door screen
assembly and head z-bar. For double units check for uniform 1/2" to
9/16" gap between the two screens. If necessary, remove and add or

unit while the passive side is left closed.
NEEDED TOOLS & MATERIALS
LATCH SIDE Z-BAR INSTALLATION

Applies to single entry units only, double screen units skip this step
and will install an astragal in the next step.

assembly and check
for a uniform gap of
1/8" - 1/4" between the
screen latch stile and
the door frame. Place
washers behind the
z-bar mounting holes
if needed. Use a glue
stick to hold washers in
place.
2. Re-open the screen
assembly approximately
90° and place the latch
side z-bar against the
door frame latch side
jamb and up against
the underside of the
head z-bar. Install in
the same manner as the
hinge side. Close the
door screen assembly
and re-check for a
uniform gap between
the screen perimeter
and the latch side z-bar.
If necessary, remove
and add or remove
washers as needed and
reinstall.
