b1 Measure and mark from Square End of the Screen Track (side B) the Calculated Length.
b2 With a Hacksaw make a clean square cut through the Screen Track at the Cut Mark.
With a metal le, le down all sharp edges. Repeat steps for the other Screen Track
(side D) (see Figure 1).
b3 Measure and mark from each end of the Sill Adapter the Halved Calculated Length
so equal amounts are removed from both sides (see Figure 2).
b4 With the Hacksaw make a clean square cut through the Sill Adapter on both ends at the
Cut Marks. With a metal le, le down all sharp edges. Return to Measure on Page 2.
a1 To modify screen assembly to work in a Narrow Opening,
the Screen Tracks and Sill Adapter need to be cut down.
a2 Measure door opening width at top (W1), middle (W2), and
bottom (W3) from the inside of the exterior trim.
a3 Calculate Length of material to be cut o by taking the
narrowest width from above and subtracting it from 32
inches (see Example above).

APPENDIX - STEPS FOR NARROW OPENING AND SUPPORT BLOCKING FOR SILL (if required)
a1 Choose Support Blocking the width of the Door Sill with enough depth
to Extend ¾" Minimum out from the exterior trim Mounting Surface.
a2 Center the Support Blocking under the sill and make sure it is level and parallel
to the sill. Conrm it Extends ¾" Minimum from Mounting Surface.
a3 Properly secure Support Blocking below the Sill. Return to Measure on Page 2.

Tape Measure
If opening width W1 = 29 ¾"
W2 = 29 ¾" and W3 = 29 ½"
Take narrowest width = 29 ½"
and subtract from 32 inches.
32 - 29 ½ = 2 ½ inches
The Calculated Length of
material to cut o is 2 ½
inches in this example.
For sill adapter (step b3), use
half the Calculated Length
by dividing it by 2.
2 ½ ÷ 2 = 1 ¼ inches
