Figure 9-9.-Installing hardboard.Hinges are also factory-welded to screen doors,which swing to the outside of the building. Themethod used in hanging screen doors is similar tohanging entrance doors. A spring, however, is neededto hold the screen door closed.Interior AssemblyAfter the exterior members have been erected,work can begin on installing the interior assemblies.These include the liner panels, furring, hardboardflashing, and the trim.LINER PANELS.— Installation of the liner panelsconsists of installing furring strips, hardboard liner pan-els, and trim and battens. Various liner panel parts wereshown earlier in view B of figure 9-2.To install end walls properly, precut the linerpanels according to the cutting diagrams. The hard-board must be installed with the smooth surfaceexposed and with a 1/8-inch gap between panels toallow for expansion (fig. 9-9). A scrap piece of hard-board or batten can be used as a shim or spacer tomaintain the proper gap.BASE FURRING.— Nail the base furring to thefloor 3 inches from each end and 2 feet 8 inches OC,with the inside edge 7 3/8 inches from the buildingstructural line. You can get a better of this by referringto figure 9-10. When base furring is to be used on awood floor, use 8d box nails. Use 1 1/4-inch No. 9concrete nails for a concrete floor. Drill the 2 by 2sand girts with a 5/32-inch bit so furring can be attachedto the sidewall and cave girt with 2-inch panhead No.10 sheet-metal screws. Attach the hardboard to thefurring strips with 1 1/4-inch aluminum shingle nailson 4-inch centers at the sides and ends (see fig. 9-11).Use 8-inch centers at the intermediate furring.Figure 9-11.-Nailing pattern for attaching hardboard toFigure 9-10.-Installing furring for the end-wall liners.9-7furring.
