Before You Begin: Measuring Your Door Opening
Accurate measurements are crucial for proper installation. Refer to the diagram below to measure your door opening correctly.
Descripció de la imatge: A diagram illustrating the process of measuring a door opening for a storm door. It shows three horizontal measurements (A, B, C) across the top, middle, and bottom of the opening, and one vertical measurement (D) for height. The diagram also indicates a required 1" x 1" deep mounting surface and universal hinging. A table next to the diagram provides recommended door sizes based on width and height measurements.
Instructions for Measuring:
- Measure the opening width horizontally at three points: top (A), middle (B), and bottom (C). Record the narrowest dimension.
- Measure the vertical opening height (D).

Instruccions de funcionament
Your LARSON storm door is equipped with features designed for ease of use and ventilation control.
EasyVent Technology and Retractable Screen Away:
- The EasyVent system allows for adjustable airflow. To open the screen, locate the release mechanism (typically a latch or button) and slide the screen panel down.
- To close the screen and engage the full-view glass, slide the screen panel back up until it locks into place.
- The Retractable Screen Away feature allows you to quickly switch between the full glass panel and the integrated screen for fresh air without needing to store a separate screen.
Door Closer Operation:
The door closer ensures the storm door closes smoothly and securely. Adjust the tension screw on the closer cylinder to modify the closing speed. Turning the screw clockwise typically increases closing speed, while counter-clockwise decreases it.
