1. MEASURE DOORWAY:
A. Verify the minimum space requirements on the existing door frame
and exterior trim.
Dimension A - 1” required for proper installation
(Minimum 7/8” required with Narrow Mount Kit*)
Dimension B - 1” required for proper installation
(Minimum 5/8” required with Narrow Mount Kit*)
Dimension C - 2-1/2” required for handle clearance
*A narrow mount kit is available through your Storm & Screen Door
dealer.
B. Measure the existing door frame opening. Measure the height
from the top (H), under the brickmold to the sill. Measure the width from the
inside of the brickmold at the top (w1), center (w2) and bottom (w3) of the door
opening. If the dimensions vary, use the smallest dimension for specifying your
door size.
C. If the opening does not fall within any of these limits, it will be necessary to
rework the door jamb. You may wish to consult a professional carpenter to do so.
