INSTLLTION ULLETIN for TRESOLD/SILL PPLITIONS There are multitudes of door threshold/sill designs and these must be considered before you install your Retractable Screen. For a proper installation it is important to have or create a level and stable surface for mounting the bottom guide of the retractable screen. efore beginning, identify the exact location where the Screen assette will be installed, because this will influence the position of the ottom Guide. The following are some of the more typical threshold/sill designs and solutions for dealing with these instances. Traditional Retractable Screen with Smooth Fabric Flat Threshold 1 flat threshold/sill for traditional screen Instructions: lean the surface and then mount the Retractable Screen ottom Guide directly to the threshold/sill. Platform Transition (or similar) Flat Threshold with Screen Track 1 flat threshold/sill with screen track Instructions: To span over an existing screen track and make a flat and stable surface, install material such as the Genius Platform Transition [Part #: 01-12360-X-X]. ost hardware stores also sell shim materials or various shaped aluminum trims that will give the same result.

For all Genius smooth screen fabric systems (non-pleated screens), there are instances where resting the ottom Guide above the existing screen track is the desirable method. If needed, add shims to create a stable, level surface for mounting the Guide.

INSTLLTION ULLETIN for TOP & SIDE GUIDE RILS 4 INSTLLTION ULLETIN for TOP ND SIDE GUIDE RILS Existing Side Door Frame Shims to Flatten Install Surface 1 EXISTING SIDE RIL PREPRTION with SIS Instructions: Since there are multitudes of door master frame designs, all surfaces where you will be mounting the screen must be considered before you install the retractable screen. In the case of the side rails, again, existing door frames may have multiple channels, or flanges of different heights, that make for a surface too uneven for efficient installation of your new screen. In this case, you will need to shim this channel or channels to the height of the tallest flange in the existing side door frame. It is recommended you order or find shims made of a non-degradable material (plastic or nylon, for example) that can be fitted into the channel(s), of sufficient length to assure a flat and vertically plumb surface for the new side rail.
