Insect Screen Removal, Installation and Adjustment
Sliding Screens
It may be helpful to remove insect screen before other panel(s).
Adjustment screws are located at each corner of the door screen and may
be located on the end
of the screen or on the
face. Face adjustment
screws can either be
on top of the lower rail
or accessed through a
hole as shown.
1. Turn all four
adjustment screws
to retract rollers into
the screen.
Note! If door screen
has weatherstrip covering adjustment screw, pull out only enough
to expose screw, then press back into place afteradjustment.
2. Grip both sides of the screen and lift up and over the screen track (if
needed, use putty knife to help lift rollers over track) and remove.
Installation
1. Follow the removal steps in reverse order.
2. Adjust the rollers as explained below.
Roller Adjustment
1. Ideal adjustment is as low as possible but just high enough to avoid
drag. Adjustment screws are located at each corner of the door screen.
Turn the adjustment screw in quarter turn increments until the correct
adjustment is achieved. Some rollers will require opposing rotations to
move the roller in the same direction as the other rollers.
• If screen door is ush to side jamb but needs to be raised or lowered,
adjust both bottom rollers the same amount and in the same
direction. Adjust top rollers if needed to apply slight tension.
• If screen top touches side jamb rst, extend the roller closest to the
side jamb, and retract the roller farthest from the side jamb. Make
opposite adjustments if the screen bottom touches side jamb rst.
2. Test operation and readjust as needed.
Hanging Screens
1. To remove the screen, position the screen on one side and remove the
exposed screws in the screen track in the head. Move the screen to the
other side and remove the remaining screws from the track. The track
will remove with the screen.
2. To install, follow the removal steps in reverse order.
Adjustment
On the bottom, there
is an adjustment screw
hole on the end of the
screen corresponding
with a guide. Adjust
the guides up or
down with a Phillips
screwdriver so that
they do not rub on
the sill or come off
thetrack.
Swinging Screens
Door sweeps should
just contact the sill.
Adjust up or down
by loosening the set
screws at each end of
the panel and moving
the sweep as needed.
Retighten the set
screws when nished.
