HOW-TO GUIDE
Lock and unlock the door? 
Adjust the closing speed?
Turn the screw on top of the closer to increase (counterclockwise) or decrease (clockwise) the speed of the door using a flathead screwdriver. Do not turn more than three turns.
Reduce how far the door opens?
Use the provided 5/32-in Allen wrench to loosen the set screw in the pad closest to the hinges in the drip cap. Move the pad toward the handle side to the desired hold-open position and tighten the set screw. DO NOT MOVE THE PAD TOWARD THE HINGES.
HOW-TO GUIDE
Access my screen?
The screen is hidden within your door. To ventilate, unlock the sash lock and pull the top insert down (FIG 1). To close, push the top insert up until the sash lock engages, securing it into place (FIG 2).
Fix doorway if it’s not plumb?
Attach shims along the top or bottom of the mounting surfaces until surfaces are plumb. If shimming exceeds ¼” in height, longer mounting screws may be needed to replace the pre-loaded mounting screws near the shims. Replacement Mounting Screw Recommendations:
- Wood and PVC Openings – #6 x 2” Wood Screws
- Cladded Openings – #6 x 2” Self-Drilling Screws Trim shims to hide behind the storm door, then continue with door installation. If gaps are present along the mounting surface after installation, apply the caulk.
Ensure the top of the door is sealed?
If there is a gap located above the drip cap, caulk along the top of the black seal.
