User manual LARSON EASY-VENT

[. . . ] Measurements NOTE: Measure height from the top of the door opening (underside of the trim board) down to the bottom threshold. Take two measurements as shown in Figure 2 to determine the threshold angle. You will need this information as you install the hinge z-bar. STEP 1 FIGURE 1 Width A Width B Width C Height A Height B FIGURE 2 A B A A B A B C C PINCH EXPANDER AND VINYL SWEEP FIGURE 1 FIGURE 2 STEP 2 Determine Left or Right Hinge Side Your Larson storm door is REVERSA-HINGE meaning that the door is designed for either right hand or left hand hinge installation. Looking at your door opening from the outside, determine which side you want the hinge attached. [. . . ] Bottom Cut: Cut the Z-bar to length, using the same procedure used to cut the hinge side Z-bar in Step 4. Installation: Set the Z-bar in place between the door and the wood jamb. Allow a 1/8"-3/16" gap between the door and the latch-side Z-bar. Make sure the door closes freely without hitting the Z-bar, but also makes good contact with the weatherstripping. Fasten Z-bar using #8x1" painted pan head screws through pre-drilled holes provided in Z-bar. OPENING HEIGHT (UNDERSIDE OF DRIP CAP TO TOP OF SILL) FIGURE 11 FIGURE 12 STEP 10 Install Screw Cap Covers · After the door is installed, apply the drip cap screw cover. Start at one end, snap the cover on working your way towards the other end. NOTE: Be sure to insert the edge toward the door first, then snap in outer edge. · Cut the latch and hinge z-bar screw covers to length--matching the z-bar lengths respectively. · Attach the latch and hinge z-bar screw covers per Figure 12 as described above.

Adjust the bottom expander so that the vinyl sweeps touch the door threshold. The slotted holes in the expander should be located on the inside of the door. Centrally locate the two #6 x 3/8" pan head screws in the slot to allow for future adjustments. Drill 3/32" diameter pilot holes for the screws, being careful not to drill all the way through to the front face of the door. NOTE: Pilot holes must be drilled or screws will break!

Aluminum Skin--Non-abrasive paste wax may be used on your door's outer surface to help keep the finish looking new. [. . . ] NOTE: On two closer models adjust each closer individually (with the other closer being disconnected from the door); the closing speed should be the same for each closer). If more latching force is desired, the jamb bracket may be moved up to 1" away from the door (rather than the recommended 1/4"). NOTE: moving the jamb bracket further from the door reduces the door opening. Raise expander or leave window open to allow air to escape. Sash Balance protruding from insert Balance not seated correctly. Door does not close properly Hinge may have been attached too close to the front edge of the door. [. . . ]
