1. Determine the top of the latch mounting frame by holding it against the brickmould in the opening
and mark the top.
2. Measure height of the latch side brickmould from the underside of the header mounting frame to
the bottom of the brickmould.
3. Starting at the top of the latch mounting frame, measure down the same distance and draw a line.
You may want to angle the line to follow the slope of your sill.
4. Using a hacksaw cut the frame on the line. Use a file to remove sharp burrs.
5. Position the latch mounting frame against the brickmould and close the storm door.
6. For Overlap doors, see Fig. 1. Position the rounded leading edge of the latch mounting frame
behind the outside edge of the door from top to bottom. If required, shim the brickmould.
7. For Non-Overlap doors, see Fig. 2. Position the latch mounting frame so the inside edge of the
storm door sits against the weather strip and maintains a 1/8” gap from top to bottom. If required,
shim the brickmould.
8. Drill a 1/8” pilot hole through the top and bottom holes and fasten with #8x1-1/4” screws.
9. Open and close door to ensure free movement. On remaining holes, drill pilot hole and fasten.
