Understanding the Application of the
Screen
Is there enough Mounting Surface for the Unseen?
The screen installs on the outside surface of the door trim (brick mold).
A minumum of 11/16" (17 mm) is required. See Mounting Surface as
indicated in diagram
.
A
Is the Door Opening Square?
For the screen to operate effectively, the door opening must be perfectly
square. Using a Carpenter Square, check to ensure that the door frame
or mounting surface is square. If not, use shims to bring the door frame or
mounting surface to square before beginning installation. If shimming the
door frame or mounting surface is not possible, apply shims beneath the
screen components to ensure a plumb, level and square installation.
Is this screen being installed on a Right Hinged Door?
Finally, make sure the correct model has been purchased! The screen in
this package is configured for a “RIGHT” hinged door. The hinges should
be on the right side and the door knob should be on the left. This screen is
designed to be installed on in-swing doors only. This requires the screen
to be installed on the outside of the building.

Measuring the
Door Opening
For the width (W), measure the
dimension between the right and left
exterior trim or 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.
Top Trim Mounting Surface
T
For the height (H), measure the
inside dimension between the top
exterior trim or door frame and the
door sill at the lowest point in its slope.
Measure in all three locations as
indicated in the diagram and record the
smallest dimension in the box labeled
"Height" below.

Finally, measure the height of the
lowest flat portion of the exterior
trim or door frame (T). This must
be a minimum of 5/8" (16 mm),
and must be completely flat and
square.

The screen package comes with two Bottom Rail options to
accommodate different configurations. Choosing the correct Bottom Rail
is important, since this will determine the final cut size of the Screen.

(2,047 mm) high when using the Low Bottom Rail
or less than
4
81 3/16" (2,062 mm) high when using the High Bottom Rail , the
Screen must be cut.
NOTE: Actual Unseen components are designed with offset dimensions
to fit a standard opening (see dimensions above); therefore parts will not
measure the same as the doorway dimensions. To fit a smaller opening,
determine the Length to be Cut from the components by calculating the
difference between your doorway measurements and the standard width
and height provided above.
Determining Cut Size for Screen Housing

Service and Maintenance
Hints
The Unseen Screen is designed and engineered to be maintenance
free. The following are some helpful hints to ensure the smooth
operation of your Unseen Screen for years to come.
•
The moving components used in the screen contain nylon. This
combination of compounds is strong, impact resistant, and
self-lubricating. Do not use oil, grease, petroleum or oil based sprays
or lubricants on any of the components on the screen. These products
attract dirt and debris, which may affect the operation of the Unseen
Screen. However, the periodic application of a dry silicone lubricant to
the moving parts is permissible.
•
We recommend that when the screen is not required, keep it stored
away in the Screen Housing. This will extend the life of the mesh and
keep it clean.
•
•
The Bottom Rail should be kept free of dirt and debris. Use a broom to
remove any obstructions from the Bottom Rail.
If the screen mesh becomes damaged or torn, a Replacement Mesh
Cartridge can be purchased separately through the help line.
If you have any questions during the installation of the Unseen Screen,
