Setup and Installation
Careful measurement and assembly are crucial for optimal performance. The door is designed for easy DIY installation.
1. Measurement
Measure your door frame accurately. The maximum dimensions for the insect screen are 100 cm (width) x 210 cm (height). Ensure there is sufficient space for the frame, especially if installing between a roller shutter and the existing door frame. The installation depth required is 15 mm.

2. Assembly Options
You have two primary options for mounting the insect screen:
- Drill-Free Fastening with Velcro: For a less invasive installation, strong Velcro strips are provided. Ensure the door frame surface is clean and dry before applying.
- Screw Mounting: For a more permanent and secure installation, the frame can be screwed directly to the door frame. Use the provided drilling templates for accurate placement.
Refer to the detailed assembly instructions included in the kit for step-by-step guidance on cutting profiles, attaching the mesh, and installing hinges and sealing brushes.

Operation

- Opening: The pendulum door can be opened by simply pushing it in either direction, using your hand or foot.
- Closing: Thanks to the fiberglass-reinforced pendulum hinges, the door will automatically swing back to its closed position after passage. Integrated magnets ensure a secure and complete seal, preventing insects from entering.
- Pet-Friendly: The two-way swing function makes it convenient for pets to pass through without assistance, while still ensuring the door closes behind them.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your insect screen.
- Cleaning the Mesh: Periodically wipe the fiberglass mesh with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and debris. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing with clean water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh brushes.
- Cleaning the Frame: Clean the aluminum frame with a damp cloth.
- Hinge Inspection: Check the pendulum hinges periodically for smooth operation. If they become stiff, a small amount of silicone spray can be applied to the moving parts (avoiding the mesh).
- Magnetic Seal: Ensure the magnets along the perimeter are clean and free of obstructions to maintain a tight seal.
