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 
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 
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.
Is there enough Mounting Surface?
The Viewpoint Screen is a recess 
mount screen that installs on the 
inside surface of the door frame. 
A minimum Mounting Surface of 
1 3/4” (45 mm) is required. This 
Mounting Surface must be flat and 
flush, and at a right angle (90˚) 
to the door.
