Latch Adjustments
Adjusting the Entry Door Latch:
• Determine which bolt needs adjustment.
• Slowly close the entry door observing the latch and strike bolt alignment. Do not
attempt to latch if alignment is off. If the alignment is correct, allow the latch to catch in
the first (primary) position only.
• The latch should move to the second position with just slight pressure applied to the entry
door. Upper and lower latches should be evenly timed. Press on the entry door to see if
there is further movement of the door.
• The handle should operate with little effort to open the entry door. Excessive amounts of
pressure indicate the bolts are set too far back.
• With a 5/8” inch box wrench or socket, loosen the movable strike bolt. Make all adjust-
ments in small increments. Tighten the bolt firmly after making adjustments. The bolts
should have slight up and down movement for vibration control in travel.
• Test the operation of the dead bolt lock to ensure proper function.
• Apply silicone weekly to the entry door rubber gaskets to prevent squeaking while the
motorhome is traveling. Use a one inch sponge paint brush, sprayed with silicone, for easy
application.
CAUTION:
When operating the entry door ensure the dead bolt latch is fully in the unlock posi-
tion prior to closing the entry door. Failure to do so can result in damage to the dead
bolt and/or entry door.
Screen Door
Changing the Glass in the Screen Door:
• The screen slider is Lexan and can be bowed for removal and replacement.
• Replace with new Lexan and reverse the procedure.
Adjusting the Screen Door For Up and Down Location:
• Loosen the chrome bolts on the hinge side of the screen door: Four on the top and four on
the bottom.
• Slots in the steel hinge allow for up and down movement.
• Eight Allen type screws (four on the top hinge and four on the bottom hinge) adjust the screen
door to fit. The hinge should fit tightly to the trim of the door when the screen door is
latched and the door is open.
