1. Most homeowners prefer to have the storm
door handle on the same side as the entry
door handle. In shallow door openings,
this can cause the two handles to interfere.
Check for potential interference using the
rough measurements. If you anticipate
that there will be interference, hand the
storm door on the opposite side of your
entry door. See page 2, Figure 3 for detailed
hardware depth requirements.

Determine if Hinge Rail Shim
is needed
1.
Use the table above to determine if you need to use the provided hinge rail shim (K).
2. If your opening width falls within the dimensions listed, you will need to install the shim. (If
installing a 78” tall storm door, rst cut o 2” from one end of the shim.) If your opening width
does not fall within these dimensions, proceed to step 3.
3. Remove any debris from the mounting surface where the hinge rail shim will be attached.
4. Apply the four strips of double stick tape from the pink bag to the shim, spacing them evenly
along the entire length. Attach the shim to the mounting surface, as shown.

In this step, you will determine the handle side of your storm door.
1. Left Handed (Figure 4): From the exterior, a left handed storm door will have the handle on the
left side of the storm door. See pages 4-8 for installation instructions.
2. Right Handed (Figure 5): From the exterior, a right handed storm door will have the handle on
the right side of the storm door. See pages 9-13 for installation instructions.
3. The top interior is where the top cover plate (T) is located (Figure 6).
