INSECT SCREEN REMOVAL, INSTALLATION AND ADJUSTMENT
SLIDING SCREENS
It may be helpful to
remove insect screen
before other panel(s).
Adjustment screws are
located at each corner
of the door screen and
may be located on
the end of the screen
or on the face. Face
adjustment screws can
either be on top of the
lower rail or accessed
through a hole as shown.
1. Turn all four adjustment screws to retract rollers into the screen.
Note! If door screen has weatherstrip covering adjustment screw,
pull out only enough to expose screw, then press back into place
afteradjustment.
2. Grip both sides of the screen and lift up and over the screen track (if
needed, use putty knife to help lift rollers over track) and remove.
Installation
1. Follow the removal steps in reverse order.
2. Adjust the rollers as explained below.
Roller Adjustment
1. Ideal adjustment is as low as possible but just high enough to avoid
drag. Adjustment screws are located at each corner of the door
screen. Turn the adjustment screw in quarter turn increments until
the correct adjustment is achieved. Some rollers will require opposing
rotations to move the roller in the same direction as the other rollers.
• If screen door is ush to side jamb but needs to be raised or
lowered, adjust both bottom rollers the same amount and in the
same direction. Adjust top rollers if needed to apply slight tension.
• If screen top touches side jamb rst, extend the roller closest to the
side jamb, and retract the roller farthest from the side jamb. Make
opposite adjustments if the screen bottom touches side jamb rst.
2. Test operation and readjust as needed.
HANGING SCREENS
1. To remove the screen, position the screen on one side and remove
the exposed screws in the screen track in the head. Move the screen
to the other side and remove the remaining screws from the track.
The track will remove with the screen.
2. To install, follow the removal steps in reverse order.
Adjustment
On the bottom, there
is an adjustment screw
hole on the end of the
screen corresponding
with a guide. Adjust the
guides up or down with
a Phillips screwdriver
so that they do not rub
on the sill or come off
thetrack.
SWINGING SCREENS
Door sweeps should
just contact the sill.
Adjust up or down
by loosening the set
screws at each end of
the panel and moving
the sweep as needed.
Retighten the set
screws when nished.
