Andersen® 100 Series Gliding Patio Door

Let's Get Started

1. Order Parts

Contact Andersen® Windows and Doors for ordering assistance.

2. Install Parts

1. Place the insect screen on the door track by first inserting the top of the screen and then the bottom, ensuring the screen rolls smoothly.
2. Install the insect screen handle by following the instructions in Insect Screen Handle Replacement for 100 Series Gliding Patio Doors.
3. Center the latch receiver, which is where the screen's lock engages (located on the patio door unit frame), to align with the insect screen frame. The top of the latch receiver should be level with the bottom edge of the lock latch when unlocked.
   • If the lock latch does not align with the latch receiver, remove the screen and flip it 180 degrees, then reinstall it.
   • For more in-depth adjustment instructions, see Replace Insect Screen Latch Receiver and Guides on 100 Series Gliding Patio Door.
4. Follow the instructions in Adjust and Replace Rollers on 100 Series Gliding Patio Door Insect Screens to align the insect screen frame with the patio door and add enough tension so the top rollers stay on the track.

Note: If you have already installed the screen and handle but find the insect screen difficult to operate, only use steps three (3) and four (4) above to ensure the screen and its parts are properly aligned and adjusted.
