Door Installation - Step One
Determine
the size of your existing opening
Measure
the width and height of your existing opening (inside
the door) to determine if you have chosen the correct
door size. Allow 1/8" on each side and up to 1/2" for
the height. Your door can be trimmed up to 3/8" from each
side and 3/8" from the top and no more than 1" from the
bottom. If you will need to trim your door then go to
Step 3.

Options
Most
standard screen door hardware will work great on your
new solid vinyl screen door. Your door can be cut and
drilled just like a wood screen door. Surface mounted
hinges can be screwed into the frame of the door. Most
hinges can be accommodated by simply routing or mounting
with screws. Latches and bar bolts for security can easily
be screwed to the door frame. Always use 3 hinges to
secure your new screen door to the frame.

Door Installation - Step Three
Trimming
your new screen door
If
you have ever trimmed a wood screen door then you will
have no trouble doing the same to your new Screen TightTM
Screen Door. Traditional tools, such as a circular saw,
will do the job. Simply determine the desired amount to
trim (make sure not to trim more than 3/8" from any
side and no more than 1" from the bottom). CAUTION, if
you cut more than the specified amounts you will compromise
the integrity of the door and void any warranty.

Thank you
for considering our new solid vinyl screen door. We appreicate
your confidence in Screen Tight and our products.
Screen doors have
always been a part of the American home. After noticing that
the materials used to make screen doors have remained unchanged
or improved, we decided to pursue manufacturing a new generation
of screen doors.
Our customers
told us that they liked the classic look and utility of a
screen door but not the maintenance chores often associated
with typical screen doors. Years of research and development
led us to the introduction of our solid vinyl screen door.
The result is a screen door with the charm and character of
yesterdays' doors combined with the durable, low maintenance
features of vinyl.
Good luck with
your installation and thanks from everyone at Screen Tight.
