4 ATTACH TOP BRACKET TO DOOR
To ensure that the screws install securely into all door surfaces
(wood, steel, fiberglass or vinyl) we have included a specific drill
bit and screws. Only use the drill bit and screws contained
in the treatment hardware pack. If you are missing any parts,
contact ODL customer service (866-ODL-4YOU) and a hardware
pack will be immediately sent to your home.
Pre-drill holes with provided drill bit and screw top bracket into
place using all 6 screws. To avoid stripping screws – Do not use
power driver to screw bracket into place. (TIP – For steel doors
you may have to create a punch mark to aid in your drilling – to
do so use a nail and a hammer to create a slight punch)

MARK HOLE LOCATIONS
While ensuring that the top bracket is level (you can use a
level or the “witness line” to make sure bracket is level), and
in the position established in Step 2, mark hole locations in
center of the six screw slots with a pencil.
IMPORTANT REMINDER: Your hole locations must be located
above the door glass “witness line” which is roughly one inch
above the visible glass.
LOCATE TOP BRACKET
IMPORTANT: It is important to locate the actual glass line or “witness
line” in the patio door. There should be a slight groove or visible line
roughly an inch larger than the viewable glass in your door. This is the
actual size of your door glass and you must make absolutely sure that
you do not drill or screw inside of this line.
Using a tape measure find the center of your door glass and make a
mark with a pencil above your glass “witness line”. If your unit is more
than 3” taller that your viewable glass, you may want to center the
door over-lap top and bottom. Simply hold the unit up in front of
glass, center it over your door glass and have a friend make a pencil
mark just above the frame.
Take your top bracket and line the center notch in the bottom of the
bracket with the center point of your door. Now, line up the top of
the hook in the bracket with the pencil mark locating the top of the
unit. If you didn’t make a mark centering blind unit top and bottom,
locate the top bracket just above the door glass witness line.
