1. Measuring from an existing set of French screen doors:

If you have an existing set of French Hinged Screen Doors, and you are happy with the fit then we suggest that you measure this door and use these measurements for your new door.

Door Height: Measure from top to bottom of the screen door on both the left and right hand sides; send us the shortest of the two measurements.

Door Widths: Measure the top, middle and bottom widths of the screen door; send us all three measurements.

Active Door: Looking at the doors from the outside nominate which door requires the lock, the Left door or the Right door.

Lock Height: Refer to the Lock Above & Lock Below instructions at the bottom of the page. Then measure from the bottom of the existing screen door up to the centre of the existing striker, this will be the centre of the new striker and screen door handle.

2. Measuring for a new set of French Hinged Screen Doors:

Door Height: Measure from top (1.1) to bottom (1.2) on both sides of your door frame, deduct 8 mm from the shortest side and record this measurement. Keeping the sides the same length will allow us to build your door square.

1.1                                                               1.2

Note: A bug seal is recommended to minimise gap at the bottom after the door is installed. This can be selected from the list of Add Ons available when calculating the price of your door.

Door Widths: Measure the overall jamb, top middle and bottom, deduct 15 mm and divide by two. This will give you the exact individual make size for each door. If you end up with a 0.5 mm, round down. The three width measurements can be different; however the variation should not differ by greater that 7-8 mm. 

Active Door Side: When indicating the active and non-active door ensure you are looking from the outside in. 

Lock Height: Measuring the lock stand outside looking in, the lock height is measured from the bottom of the door to the middle of the handle and tongue. 

Lock Above: Measure from the bottom sill to the top of the existing solid door handle and add 125 mm (1.4). This will be the new door handle and tongue height.

Lock Below: Measure from the bottom sill to the bottom of the existing solid door handle and deduct 60 mm (1.5). This will be the new door handle and tongue height.

1. Swing the Non-Active Door

Begin by carefully unpacking your doors and installing your lock handle; see note above referring to the correct snib position when assembling your lock.

Starting with your non-active door hold the door in the open position with hinge open and resting against the jamb.

Hold the door approximately 4-6 mm down from the top of jamb and mark the centre of the elongated hole in the top hinge (1.1).

1.1

Using a 3 mm drill bit, slightly pre drill a pilot hole on the mark you have just made (1.2).

1.2

Hold the door in place. Using a cordless gun, screw through hinge centre elongated hole into pilot hole and screw up tight (1.3).

2. Swing the Active Door

Repeat all steps for the Active door and close against the Non-Active door, check your locks by engaging the internal snib. If you find that the locks do not align your doors do not meet to your satisfaction use the included hinge packers to pack out the hinge on one door only.  Ensure that the locks are engaging and locking correctly before you proceed to the next step. Once you have identified that the lock is locking correctly and aligned, then install all remaining hinge screws. 

3. Flush Bolt Holds

On the non-active door face you will find a silver lever that activates the flush bolts. Pulling down on this lever will engage

Tip: Use something colourful yet removable such as white out boot polish to cover the tip of the flush bolt to mark precisely where to drill the hole.

Close the non-active door to its final close position and activate silver lever, carefully marking both sides of bolts top and bottom. Open the door back and carefully drill a 9 mm hole in both marked positions then close the non-active door and check that flush bolts are engaging fully. Once you are comfortable that there is no restriction and the bolts both top and bottom are engaging easily, then close the active door and check all clearances.

4. Installing bug seal

The installation of a bug seal is done after the door is installed to ensure a perfect fit. Remove the adhesive tape and apply it to the bottom of your door. For added strength fix with pop rivets or screws.

Allow the seal to rest on the bottom of the door resting on the sill. Do not push down. Using a 3 mm drill bit (1/8 imperial) drill a hole through the top section of the bug seal and directly into the bottom of the door. Pop rivet and repeat at the opposite end.
