How to Install the StepAbove
Step 1
Remove the step transition strip between the threshold of the existing door and the floor.
Step 2
With the StepAbove in the downward position, center it in the door opening. Adjust the steps until the hinge plate is centered and flush against the threshold.
Step 3
With the StepAbove centered and flush against the threshold, attach one fastener in each of the top corner holes where the plate is notched.
Step 4
Lift the StepAbove and lock into place. Ensure that the latches have engaged with the flange of the door jamb. The latches may need to be adjusted in or out; this can be accomplished by loosening the bolts and sliding it into place. NOTE: Some doors may require the interior wood or trim work to be notched. For assistance with any modification, please call our Parts Department at 574-293-1581.
Step 5
Lower the steps and then shut both the screen door and the outside door to ensure they close properly with the StepAbove in the lowered position.
Step 6
Raise the StepAbove into the locked position and secure the hinge plate with the (6) remaining fasteners. There will be a gap between the hinge plate and the threshold. NOTE: The legs of the StepAbove are adjustable and may need to be retracted in order to fit inside the door opening.
Step 7
Make sure the StepAbove operates smoothly and aligns correctly.
