Index
For installations on double doors (French doors) you
will need: one left Sure View Screen, one right Sure
View Screen, and one Double Door Kit. Please
refer to Installation Manual within the “Double
Door Kit” prior to installation.
The Sure View Screen is not intended for
installation on a Sliding Patio Door.
Getting to Know the Sure View Screen
Before beginning, become familiar with
the Sure View Screen and the door on
which it will be installed.
The Sure View Screen can be installed
on both in-swing and out-swing doors.
In-swing doors open to the inside of
the home and require the Sure View
Screen to be installed on the outside of
the home. Out-swing doors open to the
outside of the home and require the Sure
View Screen to be installed on the inside
of the home.
Does the Sure View Screen t the
Door Opening?
Make sure the Sure View Screen will
t the door. The Sure View Screen will
accommodate a door opening of up to
36” (914 mm) wide and 81 1/4” (2,064
mm) high. If the door opening is larger
than this, the Sure View Screen can still
be installed by attaching a ller strip
under the door frame to reduce the height
of the door opening. Refer to page 6 for
details.
Is there enough Mounting Surface for the
Sure View Screen?
The Sure View Screen is a recess mount
screen which installs on the inside
surface of the door frame (Mounting
Surface as indicated in diagram (A)). To
ensure that the Sure View Screen is fully
recessed after installation, there must be
at least 1 5/8” (42 mm) of mounting
surface. However the Sure View Screen
can accommodate a minimum
mounting surface of 1 1/8” (28 mm). In
this instance, the Mounting Bracket will
extend slightly beyond the door frame.
This mounting surface must be at and
ush, and at a right angle (90º) to
the door.
Is the Door Opening Square?
For the Sure View Screen to operate
effectively, the door opening must be
perfectly square. Using a Carpenter
Square, check to ensure that the door
frame is square. If not, use shims to bring
the door frame to square before beginning
installation.
Is this Sure View Screen being installed
on a Left Hinged Door?
Finally, make sure the right model has
been purchased! The Sure View Screen
in this package is congured for a
“LEFT” hinged door. To identify door
hinging, look at the door from the side
on which the Sure View Screen will be
mounted. The hinges should be on the
left side and the door knob or handle
should be on the right.

Measuring the Door Opening
Now it's time to measure the door
opening. The Sure View Screen will
accommodate a door opening of up to 36”
(914 mm) wide and 81 1/4” (2,064 mm)
high. If the door opening is smaller than
this, the Sure View Screen will have to be
cut.
For the width, measure the dimension between
the right and left sides of the door frame at both
the top and bottom of the doorway as indicated in
the diagram. Record the smallest of the two sizes
in the box labeled “Width” below.
For the height, measure the dimension between
the top of the door frame and the door sill at the
point where the Sure View Screen will be installed.
We recommend positioning the Sure View Screen
ush with the outside edge of the door frame (the
furthest point away from the door). Measure from
the top of the door frame to the door sill at a point
1 5/8” (42 mm) back from the outside edge of the
door frame. (A) Measure in all three locations and
record the smallest dimension in the box labeled
“Height” below.
NOTE: If the door opening is too high, a
ller strip must be installed before the Sure
View Screen can be installed. The ller
strip must reduce the door opening to
81 1/4" (2,064 mm) or less. All measurements
must be made after the ller strip has been
installed.
