Measure the length and breadth of the aperture where you want to locate your screen door with a steel measuring tape. The standard size of the aperture is 30 inches to 36 inches in breath and not more than 80 inches in length. Now see whether you screen door can fit in the required aperture. If not, then you might need to do a little bit trimming. Mark the length of the aperture on your screen door and trim 1/8 inch from both sides and ½ inch from the height more. Be aware not to trim your door to more than 3/8 inch from both sides and 1 inch from the length, otherwise you will have an uneven door. If you have, done door trimming before than you can use the same kit to trim this door. A circular saw can be best to cut the extra edges. Now screw facade escalated cruxes in to the casing of your door. Use three cruxes or more in the casing to join the screen door. The more cruxes you will use the stronger joined will be your door. Some frames come with pre-drilled holes; if you do not have that frame then you will have to drill the holes. Take measurements of the cruxes on the frame and mark them on the door that you want to attach with it. Drill the same amount of holes in its one side, attach the handle and door keys on the door. Reassure one or two times that the measurements are correct before screwing the door. Now with the help of another person, carry the screen door and place it on the frame, if it does not fit then you should do a little bit of trimming to fit in perfectly. Ask the other individual to hold the door tightly while you screw the cruxes and join the door to its casing. Make adjustments if the door is slightly unbalanced.
