1. On the hinge side of the opening measure the
height of the brickmould, top to bottom.
2. Starting at the top of the hinge-mounting frame,
measure down the same distance. Subtract 1/8”
and draw a line. You may want to angle the line to
follow the slope of your sill.
3. Using a hacksaw, cut the frame on the line.
4. Use a file to remove sharp burrs
The expander sweep is located on the bottom of the door. There are four types: L-Shape (1 fin), L-Shape (2 fin),
U-Shape (Aluminum), and U-Shape (Vinyl). Follow instructions that match your sweep.
Before starting this step, complete the next step
“Installing Storm Door / Mounting Frame to Brickmould” first.
1. Position the expander sweep under the door with fin towards the outside. See Fig. 1.
2. Position expander sweep on the bottom inside of door ensuring the ends of the expander align
with ends of the doorframe. Ensure that the upward pointing fin folds under the door. See Fig. 2.
3. Drill a 1/8” pilot hole at the bottom of the installation slots and install the #8x3/8” screws in each
hole. Lower sweep so the vinyl fin just touches the sill. See Fig. 3
