Getting to Know the Viewpoint Screen

Before beginning, become familiar with the Viewpoint Screen and the door on which it will be installed.

The Viewpoint Screen accommodates both Top Rail in-swing and out-swing doors. In-swing doors open to the inside of the home and require the Viewpoint Screen to be

installed on the outside of the home. Out-swing doors open to the outside of the Latch home and require the Viewpoint Screen

to be installed on the inside of the home.

Does the Viewpoint Screen fit the

Door Opening?

Make sure that the Viewpoint Screen will fit the door. This application will accommodate an opening of

up to 36” (914 mm) wide, and between 76 9/16” (1,947 mm) and 80 9/16”

(2,047 mm) high. If the door opening is larger than that, the Viewpoint Screen can still be installed by attaching a filler strip under the door frame to reduce the height of the door opening. Refer to page 6 for details.

NOTE: The Viewpoint Screen can only be shortened by 4” (100 mm) to a minimum height of 76 9/16” (1,947 mm). If the door opening is smaller than this, the Viewpoint Screen will not accomodate the door.

Is the Door Opening Square?

For the Viewpoint 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.
