FIGURE 1 TOP Z-BAR OR DRIP CAP PARTS IDENTIFICATION TOOLS NEEDED 1. [. . . ] From the outside of the house with the door closed, check the alignment of your Larson storm door and the scrap Z-bar. A wood spacer can be placed between the hinge-side or latch-side Z-bar and the wood jamb if desired alignment can't be achieved by sliding z-bar side to side (Figure 17). If a wood spacer is needed, remove the door, add the spacer and reinstall. Spacer thickness should not exceed 1/4" and longer screws should be used to properly secure the door to the jamb.
