  4. Here is the process: Position the Door 1 The first thing that you need to do is to decide the size of your screen door. Keep the hinges closed when you measure the position of the door. On all four sides, you need to keep at least 3 mm space vacant. Now, ensure that you hold the position of the door by keeping something at the bottom.

  5. Make Hinge Rebates 2 Once you are done with the door positioning, take a pencil and mark the door position on the doorframe. Now, closed hinges must be opened to align them as per the marks. Now, outline the screw holes and hinges on the frame with the pencil.

  6. Hang the Door 3 Take a drill now and make deep holes of at least 1.5 mm in the marked positions of screws. Now, secure the screen door on the frame with the help of just one screw. Check whether the door opens and closes easily or not. Now, fit all the screws in the hinges.

  7. Fit the Handle 4 The next step is to fit the handle of the door facing the hinges. Ensure that snib faces an upward direction. Then, you need to attach the interior handle in the inside position and then fit the outdoor handle as well and tighten it with the screws.

  8. Insert Lock Cylinder 5 Now is the time to insert the lock cylinder. First, ensure that the key is rotating properly. Don’t remove the key while pushing the cylinder in the body of your lock. Fix the lock with a supple screw. Use an auxiliary bolt to replace the main bolt and rotate the snib in the horizontal direction to ensure that the key works well.

  9. Attach Striker Plate 6 Now, you need to close the door and use a pencil to mark the main bolt position in the jamb. Place the striker plate on the marking and mark the striker plate interior and exterior. Then, you need to rebate the internal marking with the help of a chisel.
