Installation Instructions
Lock & Key Cylinders for Inswing Garden Doors
With our Lock & Key Garden Door system, the design incorporates an outside handle for easy access even when the door is locked or latched from the inside. The handles on our European Doors serve a dual purpose, acting as the control for the multi-locking system that ensures weather tightness when the handle is in the downward position. A simple turn of the Cylinder, rotating it 2.5 times, securely locks the handle in the downward position, requiring the key for entry through the door.
To unlock the door from the inside and release the multi-locking system, a similar 2.5 rotations are required, allowing the handle to release and be brought across the glass to effortlessly open and close the door. For those seeking a sleeker option, low-profile handles are also available.
Brickmold Installation Tips
Custom Brickmold windows are tailored to match your exact exterior measurements. Remember to verify interior frame measurements before ordering. The nail flange can be removed for renovation, with installation clips provided. The built-in J channel offers flexibility for renovation projects. Available sizes include White (1.5″ and 1″) and Dark Exterior (1″).
Nail Flange
Nail Flange-is separate from the window-
- Will be cut for the sides/top and bottom-and you would install it manually
- And seal it off on the outside for weather tightness
Screen Installation

Handle Installation
