When a sliding screen door too short and how to make an adjustment

During the pandemic the screen door purchases increased

We suspect it is because of the stay home order. When people were staying at home they needed something to do. So they worked on their home. Making it a more livable and safe place. The panic was terrifying as thousands were getting killed by the pandemic Corona virus and Best Custom Screens was here helping those in need of new screens.

I got out of my comfort zone

As the sales gone up our customer support department got fanatic with superfluous inbound calls. I was then instructed by our Director Operations Steve Tristan to attend calls as well. Performing as a customer support rep I noticed that most of the complaints, confusions and dilemma about screen door is the measurement.

Measuring is key

Sometimes people don’t know how to take an accurate measurement. The measurements also fluctuate due to various types of window manufacturers there are. Each one of the window manufacturers has there own idea of design and sizing. I know couldn’t they all just keep them the same size. But the don’t!

So many customers prefer to call a handyman just to take measurement and install the screen door which costs more that the screen door itself. Noticing all those issues I discussed with our Director of Operations, Steve Tristan, if we can find a simpler way to help the customers understand how to measure.

Installation Instructions for Height Adjustable Screen Door.

PRIOR TO INSTALLATION, RELEASE (DO NOT REMOVE) ALL FOUR EXPANDER SCREWS.

1. Set the screen in the door opening with the operating handle facing inside and toward the door jamb it will close against.
2. Lift the screen into the head channel of the patio door.
3. Then set the bottom of the screen onto the steel roller track of the patio door.
4. Maintain upward pressure on the screen so that the expander compresses enough to fit the opening.
5. Tighten bottom expander screws upon checking the operation is proper.
6. The top expander screws may be kept loose so that the top expander floats as the screen slides.
7. Trim the vinyl bug sweep so it seals tight against the patio door.
8. To cut to the desired width use the grooves as guideline.
9. Make sure the bug sweep is not so tight so it forces the screen to bow outward away from the patio door.

HANDLE STRIKE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION

1. Position the strike flange extending up, so that when the screen is locked, the latch lever is in the downward position.
2. Mark position sending the screen door into the frame to install the strike.
3. Install the strike using the provided screws if its pre drilled. Drill 1/16” holes and install the strike using the provided screws if there is no hole drilled. (Note: Use the adjustment slots in the strike to move it up or down before tightening the screws.)
