1. Brickmould is the wooden frame attached to the door opening. The storm door requires a 1” deep by 1” wide
minimum brickmould for installation. If required, shim the brickmould to the 1” minimum dimension. See Fig. 1.
2. A 3-3/4” minimum depth is required between the prime door and storm door mounting frame to allow for hard-
ware. Build out if required. See Fig. 2.

To ensure a proper fitting storm door the brickmould should be square. Standing outside the opening:
1.
Measure from top right hand side where the header brickmould and right side brickmould meet diagonally to the lower left
hand side of the opening. Record measurement. See Fig. 1.
2.
Repeat Step 1 from top left hand side diagonally to lower right hand side. Record measurement. See Fig. 1.
If one measurement is longer, p
lace a shim on the header brickmould so that both measurements are equal within 1/8” of each other.
See Fig. 2. The
brickmould must be level from top to bottom of the opening on both sides. See Fig.3.
If your brick
mould is not level add a piece of wood or shim in the appropriate places.
