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 flush 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 filler strip must be installed before the Sure View Screen can be installed. The filler strip must reduce the door opening to
81 1/4" (2,064 mm) or less. All measurements must be made after the filler strip has been installed.
