Fast Fit™ Panel General Information & Installation Instructions

Fast Fit™ is designed to fit into most sliding patio doors and most sliding screen door openings, measured from inside top track to the inside bottom track. Fast Fit™ Features automatic height adjustment. Panel becomes rigid when knobs located near top of Fast Fit™ are tightened.

Fast Fit™ is designed for easy installation and removal without the use of any tools besides your own two hands and a pair of scissors. For our added protection, a security lock which can be used with or without Fast Fit™ in place has been included. Installation of security lock will require a few basic tools.

If excessive movement is evident, loosen knobs by turning counter-clockwise and pressing in. Adjust as necessary (See Step #4 and repeat).
• To permanently install the Fast Fit™ you may screw through the aluminum fins that protrude on the existing frame of your door. Drill through the fins into the Fast Fit™ (See Figure 2). Two screws in the top and two in the side, approximately 1 ½"-2" from the bottom of door. Do not put any screws into the frame by the glass of the Fast Fit™ as breakage may occur.

The Vinyl Draft Seal's purpose is to seal the extra air space between your sliding glass door and stationary window created when your Fast Fit™ is in place (FIG. 4)

• Measure the vertical distance, or height of exposed glass, between top and bottom frames of the sliding door.
• Cut Vinyl Draft Seal to size with scissors using measurement from above.

If your sliding glass door is on the inside of your hose and the stationary glass on the outside, then lock will be installed on the sliding glass. If the stationary glass is on the inside and the sliding glass door on the outside, then the security lock will be installed on the stationary part of our door.

• With sliding door in closed position (without Fast Fit™), place lock in desired location with bolt in the retracted position, pointed toward the sliding glass door or stationary window rail, leaving approximately ⅛" clearance between bolt tip and aluminum rail (FIG. 5).
