Read and fully understand all instructions before installing or
operating this product. Adhere to all safety labels.
This manual provides general instructions. Many variables
can change the circumstances of the instructions, i.e., the
degree of difficulty, operation and ability of the individual
performing the instructions. This manual cannot begin to plot
out instructions for every possibility, but provides the general
instructions, as necessary, for effectively interfacing with the
device, product or system.
Door Size
To verify the proper size of the Screen Assist required, just
above the threshold (Fig.2A), at the front of the entry door
opening (NOT the screen door), measure from doorjamb to
doorjamb (Fig.2). Round up approximately 5/8” to determine the
rough opening (RO) door size. The Screen Assist will only fit
doors with rough openings between 26 and 30 inches.
Purchase Verification
Handle Style
The Screen Assist will only function as a lever handle push bar
if installed on screen doors with the handle style in (Fig.1). The
Screen Assist will work as a fixed push bar on screen doors
with any handle style. See Mounting Options section.

the inside of the door frame.
Removing Original Lever Handle
Prior to the installation of the lever handle push bar, the
original lever handle must be removed and replaced with
the shorter push bar lever handle that fits into the receiver
sleeve.
1. Using a small at blade screwdriver, remove the
screw cover on the original lever handle on the inside of
the door (Fig.5), then remove the screw.
2. Remove the original inside door lever handle (Fig.5).
3. Install the new push bar lever handle on the inside of the
door, noting the location of the insertion line (Fig.6). Hold
the lever handle on the opposite side to keep it from falling
out while installing the new lever handle.
4. Reinsert the screw and tighten, then install the new
screw cover.

3. From inside the screen door, dry t the assembly to the
door’s width. Insert the lever side sleeve up to the insertion
line (Fig.6) on the inside push bar lever handle (Fig.9) and
align the mount bracket (Fig.7) on the door hinge side so
that the bar rests parallel to the frame of the door.
4. Mark the push bar dimensions with a non-permanent
marker (Fig.9).

5. Move the assembly to a stable work surface and
measure from the ends of the push bar to each mark made
previously in step 4. (Fig. 10A, Fig. 10B)
6. Add these measurements together, then divide that
sum by 2. Then, using a non-permanent marker make
new marks on each end of the push bar equal to this new
number. Example: If measurement (Fig. 10A) = 1 ½” and
measurement (Fig. 10B) = 3”, adding them equals 4 ½”.
Then, 4 ½” divided by 2 equals 2 ¼”. Re-apply marks on
each end of the bar at 2 ¼”.
NOTE: This centers the push bar between the sleeves,
ensuring that there is an equal amount of bar for strength
inside each sleeve.

7. Slide the sleeves onto each end of the push bar to the
new marks and, using the supplied screws, fasten the
sleeves to the push bar. (Fig.11). The push bar is now
complete.
NOTE: Ensure that care is taken when measuring and
fastening the push bar to the sleeves. The screw creates
a hole in the bar, and once installed, small adjustments
cannot be made.
Sleeve to Bar Installation (Alternate Method)
NOTE: Additional assistance may be needed for this
method.
1. Measure to nd center point on the push bar. Mark the
center point with a non-permanent marker (Fig 12).
2. Slide sleeves over the ends of the push bar (Fig.12).

3. From inside the screen door, dry t the assembly to the
door’s width. Insert the lever side sleeve up to the insertion
line on the inside push bar lever handle (Fig. 13A) and align
the mount bracket on the door hinge side so that the bar
rests parallel to the frame of the door (Fig. 13). The sleeve
mount bracket should be centered vertically on the raised
portion of the screen door frame (Fig. 13).
4. Adjust the push bar in the sleeves and measure to
make sure an equal amount of bar (X”) is showing from
the center mark made in step 1 to the start of the each
sleeve (Fig. 13). This ensures there is an equal amount of
bar inside each sleeve for strength. Mark on the bar where
the sleeves start with a non-permanent marker (Fig.13B).
You may need additional assistance to hold the assembly
in place while the measurements are taken and marks are
made.

avoid any accidental damage to the sliding panel. If the
sliding panel is all the way to the hinge side of the door,
damage from installing the bracket will occur.
5. Move the assembly to a stable work surface and install
the sleeves to the marked dimensions using the provided
screws (Fig.14). The push bar is now complete.
NOTE: Ensure that care is taken when measuring and

Fixed Push Bar Installation
These steps detail how to install the fixed-style push bar to
the inside of the door frame.
NOTE: Be sure to install two Parts List E sleeves (Fig.19).
See the Mounting Options section on page 3 (Fig. 4).
NOTE: Choose one of the following methods to install the

and the alternate method begins on page 8. Both methods
for installing the sleeves to the push bar will utilize the
same method for mounting the completed bar to the door.
Sleeve to Bar Installation (Standard Method)
1. On both sleeves, insert the ball of the sleeve into the
pocket of the mount bracket (Fig.18).
2. Slide the sleeves over the ends of the push bar (Fig. 19)

previously in step 4 (Fig. 21A, Fig. 21B).
6. Add these measurements together, then divide that
sum by 2. Then, using a non-permanent marker, make
new marks on each end of the push bar equal to this new
number. Example: If measurement (Fig. 21A) = 1 ½” and
measurement (Fig. 21B) = 3”, Adding them equals 4 ½”.
Then, 4 ½” divided by 2 equals 2 ¼”. Re-apply marks on
each end of the bar at 2 ¼”.
NOTE: This centers the push bar between the sleeves,
ensuring that there is an equal amount of bar for strength
inside each sleeve.
3. From inside the screen door, dry t the assembly to
the door’s width. Align the mount brackets (Fig.20) on both
sides of the screen door so that the bar rests parallel to the
frame of the door. Each sleeve mount bracket should be
centered vertically on the raised portion of the door frame.
(Fig. 20).
4. Mark the push bar dimensions using a non-permanent
marker (Fig.20).

1. Measure to nd center point on the push bar. Mark the
center point with a non-permanent marker (Fig. 23).
2. Slide sleeves over the ends of the push bar (Fig.23).
7. Slide the sleeves onto each end of the push bar to the
new marks and, using the supplied screws, fasten the
sleeves to the push bar. (Fig.22).
NOTE: Ensure that care is taken when measuring and
fastening the push bar to the sleeves. The screw creates
a hole in the bar and, once installed, small adjustments
cannot be made.
4. Adjust the push bar in the sleeves and measure to make
sure an equal amount of bar (X”) is showing from the
center mark made in step 1 to the start of the each sleeve
(Fig. 25). This ensures there is an equal amount of bar
inside each sleeve for strength. Mark on the bar where
the sleeves start with a non-permanent marker (Fig.25A).
You may need additional assistance to hold the assembly
in place while the measurements are taken and marks are
made.
3. From inside the screen door, dry t the assembly to the
door’s width. Align the mount brackets on both sides of the
screen door so that the bar rests parallel to the frame of
the door. Each sleeve mount bracket should be centered
vertically on the raised portion of the door frame. (Fig. 20).
