4.1. Preparation
- Measure Your Door Frame: Accurately measure the width and height of your door frame. The screen is adjustable up to a maximum of 120 cm in width and 250 cm in height. Ensure there is sufficient flat surface around the frame for the adhesive mounting profile.
- Clean the Surface: Thoroughly clean the area where the mounting profile will be attached. The surface must be dry, dust-free, and grease-free for optimal adhesion.
- Adjust Screen Dimensions (if necessary): The screen's fiberglass panels can be individually shortened in height and width to fit your specific door dimensions, up to the maximum of 120 x 250 cm.

4.2. Mounting the Screen
- Attach the Adhesive Profile: Carefully peel the protective film from the adhesive backing of the mounting profile. Align the profile precisely with your door frame and press firmly along its entire length to ensure strong adhesion.
- Hang the Screen: Once the adhesive profile is securely in place, attach the Windhager Plus Easy Door Screen to the profile. Ensure the screen hangs straight and the panels overlap correctly.
- Final Check: Verify that the screen operates smoothly and the weighting strips allow the panels to close quickly and silently.
