Onyx—Hardware and Parts List
Frame Preparation
➀Clean area and place frame assembly pieces face down. Insert plastic
corner pieces into ends of aluminum frame extrusions as indicated in
Figures 1 through 4. Secure each corner to each frame extrusion by
threading one #10-24 fastener through hole in plastic corner and into
rounded slot in aluminum frame extrusion.
Figure 1
➁Secure corner pieces to aluminum frame extrusions with four (4) remaining
fasteners. Check to verify that all four (4) plastic corners are secure to
aluminum frame extrusion lengths and all eight (8) fasteners are tight (see
Fig. 5).
Please Note: It is not necessary to over-tighten fasteners.

Mounting Screen to Wall
➀Determine height at which screen is to be mounted.
Please Note: Top edge of screen frame will be located 1.5"above mounting
bracket hole centerline when mounted to wall.
➁Mark hole centerline so that both Z-brackets can be mounted parallel and
at equal height.
➂Install Z-brackets so that the outermost edges are safely within the overall
length of the aluminum frame extrusion to allow for minor horizontal screen
adjustments.
➃Position screen slightly above Z-brackets on wall (see Fig. 9).
Surface to Frame Assembly
➀Return frame onto clean surface, face down, and drape completed surface
assembly over completed frame profile with rounded edge of surface
retention extrusion visible.
➁Insert any side of surface to notch #1 on corresponding side of frame
extrusion (see Fig. 8).
➂Insert opposite side of surface to notch #1 of frame extrusion.
➃Repeat steps 2-3 with remaining edges of surface.
➄Ensure surface retention extrusions are centered lengthwise in tension
slots on all 4 edges of surface.
➅If additional tension is desired or required over time, adjust surface one
edge at a time to tension notch #2.
Please Note: It is not necessary to adjust more than one edge at a time to
increase surface tension.
Z-brackets and
lag screws
supplied with
screen. Installer is
responsible for
ensuring appropriate
hardware is used.

➄Lower screen until it engages over Z-brackets. Center screen horizontally
on brackets as necessary.
Please Note: Make sure screen is installed level.
Figure 6
Surface Preparation
➀Move frame assembly out of the way, unroll viewing surface and place
on smooth/clean surface. (Orient viewing surface so that folded side of hem
is visible.)
➁Insert plastic tubing inside pocket formed by hem on all 4 edges of viewing
surface (see Fig. 6).
➂Slide surface retention extrusion (rounded edge visible) along hem and
onto surface on all 4 edges of fabric (see Fig. 7).
Please Note: To make this step easier, pinch the end of the pocket closed
before sliding it into the surface retention extrusion.
Figure 7
➃Surface retention extrusion should extend beyond edge of viewing surface
equally at both ends.
➄Verify that all surface retention extrusions are installed with rounded edge
visible and are centered on surface material.
