The provided documentation details installation procedures for Larson GrandVue series doors and the 920 series security doors. The GrandVue series documentation focuses on recess and surface mounting of screen cassette assemblies, while the 920 series documentation outlines the installation of a security door, including component verification, tool requirements, and hinge rail preparation. The documentation specifies required tools, parts lists, and preliminary steps for successful installation.
GrandVue Series Installation – Recess Mounting
The GrandVue series doors offer a recess installation option. This method involves fastening the Screen Cassette Assembly to the inside top of the door frame using Recess Mount Clips. Prior to securing the assembly, it is necessary to measure the desired depth of installation within the frame. The documentation references a side view for illustrative purposes, though the image itself is not provided.
GrandVue Series Installation – Surface Mounting
Surface mounting of the GrandVue Screen Cassette Assembly utilizes Surface Mount ‘L’ Clips. These clips are inserted into the back channel on the top of the Screen Cassette Assembly. The assembly is then attached using #8 x 3/4” (19mm) Phillips Pan Head Screws, positioned approximately 6 inches from each side.
GrandVue Series – Component Identification
The documentation lists several components associated with the GrandVue series. These include the Screen Cassette Assembly, Side Guide Rails, #8 x 3/4” (19mm) Phillips Pan Head Screws, Surface Mount ‘L’ Clips, and Screw Covers. A note indicates that GrandVue doors ordered with a motorized system will not include a Pullchain. Contact information for Larson is provided: 1.888.483.3768 and LARSONDOORS.COM.
920 Series Security Door – Preliminary Steps and Tools
Installation of the 920 series security door requires two people. Before commencing installation, it is crucial to verify that the opening size matches the dimensions specified on the product packaging. Additionally, the documentation emphasizes the importance of ensuring that the house door trim is securely fastened and square.
The 920 series installation requires a specific set of tools. These include a hacksaw, hammer and chisel, drill with a Phillips bit, 1/8” drill bit, a 1/2” or smaller spade bit, tape measure, pliers, utility knife, and safety glasses.
920 Series Security Door – Parts List
The 920 series security door package includes the following components: a Closer Kit with Storm Chain, Screw Pack, and Strike Plate; a Hinge Rail (already attached to the door); a Latch Rail; a Top Rail; a Bottom Expander; a Rubber Sweep.
920 Series Security Door – Hinge Rail Installation
The hinge rail installation process depends on whether the door is hinged on the left or right side, as viewed from the outside. The documentation notes that the hinging configuration is determined by the order in which the security door was purchased. The provided instructions specifically detail a left-hinge installation.
To prepare the hinge rail for installation, the bottom portion must be cut to the appropriate length. This is determined by measuring the height of the door opening from the header to the threshold on the hinge side of the frame. From this measurement, 3/16” must be subtracted to arrive at the final cut length. The cut can be made at an angle to match the slope of the threshold. The documentation includes a diagram illustrating the location of the hinge rail, latch rail, top rail, bottom expander, and sweep.
Additional Considerations for 920 Series Installation
The documentation highlights the importance of confirming the hinge side of the door before proceeding with the installation. The process involves measuring the door opening height and subtracting 3/16” to determine the correct cut length for the hinge rail. The documentation provides a visual representation of the top rail, hinge rail, latch rail, bottom expander, sweep, closer kit, and installation screws.
Conclusion
The provided documentation outlines the installation procedures for both the Larson GrandVue series and the 920 series security doors. The GrandVue series offers both recess and surface mounting options for the screen cassette assembly, while the 920 series installation focuses on proper hinge rail preparation and component verification. Successful installation of both door types requires careful measurement, the correct tools, and adherence to the provided instructions.
