America’s Best Sliding Screen Door

Insert both large frames segments, one at a time, into the bracket of the short frame. Insert both large frames into the second short frame at the same time so that they enter evenly. If necessary, use a rubber mallet to avoid any gaps. Then lock them with the provided screws. We don't recommend using a metal hammer because this can damage your door. We highly recommend using work gloves for this operation, since there are some sharp sides on the aluminum frame.

Place the mesh evenly over the assembled frame and start inserting the spline from a short side corner. You should install the spline straight over the groove on the first two sides → short → large. Once you start the third side (short), we suggest you start putting some tension on the mesh, by placing the spline in a small angle on top of the inside of the door –this will tension the mesh– and repeat the technique on the last large frame. Do not exceed the amount of tension and remember that if you are not happy with the result, you can always remove the spline and redo this process. Cut the remaining mesh using a utility knife.

Install the provided Bug Strip by inserting it into the channel of the large frame opposite to the handle with the flap facing towards the inside (covers gap between screen and glass doors). 

Insert both upper wheels in the top rail, insert the bottom wheel one at a time. We suggest you use a flat screwdriver below each wheel to make this operation easier. Once all 4 wheels are in place, you should start by adjusting both wheels on the bottom (insert a # 1 Phillips screwdriver on the holes on each side of the door frame) and level the door about 1/8". Once you level the bottom, we suggest you adjust the upper wheels by putting a slight presure — this allows the springs to smoothly absorb any differences on the levels — . Run the screen door with your hand and add or reduce the adjustment on top.
