• Complete replacement of wire assemblies is recommended whenever
required. Splice wires only if necessary, using proper materials: such as
electrical tape, wire nuts, flux core solder and heat shrink.
• Apply liquid soap to rail plastic covers and gaskets upon installation to
facilitate insertion into mounting grooves.
• Keep doors and frames clean for product efficiency. This can also help
reduce energy consumption and potential health hazards.
• Whenever binding gasket or plastic parts, use food grade silicone.
1. Read instructions completely before installing the frame.
• Clearance between the frame sill and the case bottom or floor is mandated by
local building codes.
• Sill net opening must be at minimum of two inches in height
• Sill must be completely level.
2. Before installing the frame, confirm the size of the net opening accommodates the
finish frame. If the tolerances are too high, the net opening will have to be enlarged.
3. Check size of finished frame to net opening.
4. Subtract the frame height measurement, from the net opening’s height measurement.
5. Subtract the fra me wi dth meas urem ent, from the net opening’s w i dth measur e me nt .
6. Divide each number in half. This is the amount of gap that will occur between the
frame and the net opening.
7. If the gap between the frame and the net opening is greater than 1/16”, shim the gap
for a proper fit.
2.1. Shimming
1. Acquire sturdy, penetrable material, such as plywood. The thickness of the
material should be wedge shaped or slightly less than the gap to be filled.
2. Measure the gap length (height or width of frame) and cut the shim material to
1/16” less than the measured length.
3. Install the shim using the same type of mounting hardware that will be used to
install the frame. Be certain that the shim installation hardware will not interfere
with the frame installation hardware
4. If necessary, cut a second shim to the same length and install it in the opposite
side of the net opening.
5. If the adjacent sides of the net opening need shimming, repeat the previous
steps. Match the shim length to the frame sides of the net opening (less 1/16”).

2.2. To Install the Frame
1. Verify openings conform to net openings listed in price book or original order.
2. Insert the finished frame assembly into the net opening. DO NOT for ce th e fra me
if the fit is too tight.
3. Insert a mounting screw into a mounting hole in each corner of the frame and
tighten each screw until it is approximately a quarter inch from flush.
4. Check the frame is aligned properly or square.

5. Use a measuring tape to measure diagonally one corner to the opposite and note
the distance.
6. Measure the distance between the remaining two corners.
