In this step, you will nish fastening
the rain cap to the top mounting
surface.
Close the storm door.
Adjust the rain cap so that the
gap between the rain cap and
door frame is the same along the
entire length of the rain cap.
Using the 1/8” drill bit, drill holes
in the mounting surface through
the pre-drilled holes in the rain
cap (Figure 17).
Fasten the rain cap to the
mounting surface using two (2)
#8 x 1” painted screws.
Measure the height of the door
opening, measuring from the
underside of the rain cap to
the door sill. You will use this
measurement to cut the latch rail
to its proper length.
Locate the top of the latch rail
(Figure 18).
Measure the latch rail, starting
at the top and then marking the
bottom with the measurement
that you took of the door
opening.
Using the hacksaw, cut the latch
rail to its proper length (Figure
19).
Position the latch rail so that the
top end of the latch rail is butted
up against the underside of the
rain cap (Figure 20).
Close the storm door.
Measure the space between the
latch rail and the storm door. This
space should be 1/4” along the
entire length.
Using the 1/8” drill bit, drill holes
in the mounting surface through
the pre-drilled holes in the latch
rail. Use the pre-drilled holes in
the latch rail as guides.
Fasten the latch rail to the door
opening using six (6) #8 X 1”
painted screws.
