3. PREPARE STORM DOOR FOR hANGING
In this step, you will hang the rain
cap against the top mounting
surface (Figure 9).
Center the rain cap in the door
opening.
Using a pencil, mark the hinge
side hole on the mounting
surface. Set rain cap aside.
Using the drill and 1/8” drill
bit, drill a hole in the mounting
surface.
Place the rain cap back on the
door opening.
Screw the #8 x 1” screw in the
hole as indicated by the red
arrow, fastening the rain cap to
the mounting surface.
Do not install the remaining
screws at this time.
Place latch side edge of door
frame (with holes) on the ground.
TIP: Lay on door carton.
Locate the top of the hinge rail
(Figure 10).
Position the hinge rail along
the hinge-side edge of the door
frame, extending the top of the
hinge rail 3/16” beyond the top
of the door frame. Snug the top
hinge against the exterior side of
the door frame (Figure 11).
Attach the top and remaining
hinges to the door frame using
#8 x 1/2” self-drilling screws.
Measure the height of the door
opening on the hinge side,
measuring from the underside of
the rain cap to the door sill. You
will use this measurement to cut
the hinge rail to its proper length.
Measure the hinge rail, starting
at the top and then marking the
bottom with the measurement
that you took of the door opening
(Figure 12).
Using the hacksaw, cut the hinge
rail to its proper length.
