Getting to Know the Unseen Screen Before beginning the installation process, become familiar with the screen and the door on which it will be installed.
Understanding the Application of the Screen Is there enough Mounting Surface for the Unseen? The screen installs on the outside surface of the door trim (brick mold). A minumum of 11/16" (17 mm) is required. See Mounting Surface as indicated in diagram A . Is the Door Opening Square? For the screen to operate effectively, the door opening must be perfectly square. Using a Carpenter Square, check to ensure that the door frame or mounting surface is square.
