Manufacturer's Precaution

Each Da-lite Screen is carefully inspected, wrapped and packed in a manner that insures delivery to destination in first class condition. Careless handling of screens during installation can

result in screen surface being wrinkled, torn or damaged. Da-Lite Screen Company does not assume responsibility for such damage.

Suggested Methods Of Installation

Conditions in theaters vary so greatly that no set of instructions would be complete for each theater. The following suggestions, regarding the installation, when supplemented with proper care and good judgment in meeting local conditions will result in a rapid and satisfactory installation.

Installing Screen to the frame: First, and most important, is to handle the screen in a manner to prevent its being wrinkled during installation.

Safest method is to lay the frame flat on a clean floor and unroll the screen inside the frame. Tie it in at all four corners to ensure centering in the frame. Then lacing should be installed around all four sides. Do not attempt to draw lacing tight until after the frame is raised to a vertical position.

When necessary to install the screen to a frame already erected, and one that cannot be taken down, it is necessary to stand the rolled screen on end in front of the frame and tie it at frequent intervals to the top of the frame as it is unrolled.

Before starting the actual lacing, we recommend tying the screen to all four corners of the frame to insure its being spaced properly inside the frame.

Things to Remember: Practically every installation will have its own individual problem. For instance, you may find in using your old frame that it is not large enough to lace the screen on the inside, in which case you would place the hooks on the front and outer edge of the frame. For this purpose we recommend using roofing nails every six inches, leaving one-fourth inch out of the wood for the lacing cord.

Zlg Zag Lacing

Zig Zag Lacing of lacing cord alternately through grommets and under hooks is a method that will produce good results. Use this method where it is necessary to lace a screen to a pipe frame without hooks.

Diagonal Lacing

Diagonal Lacing provides a desirable tension on the fabric. It facilitates putting the correct tension in the correct direction regardless of the grommel and hook relationship.

Shock Cord (Elastic) Lacing

Shock Cord Lacing calls for elastic lacing cord (approx. 3/16" dia.) and "S" hooks (approx. 1-1/2") which are inserted in grommet holes. This is the fastest method and usually considered adequate. (Shock cord not supplied by Da-Lite.)

Single Loop Lacing

Single Loop Lacing is fast since each loop is merely doubled, pushed through the grommel and down over the screw hook. Alignment between grommel and screw hook must be straight to avoid puckering of picture surface.

Double Loop Lacing

Double Loop Lacing lends to eliminate any tendency of the picture surface to creep at the edges or unnecessary puckering. This is overcome by pulling each loop over two hooks.

Spring Lacing

Spring Mounting is a more expensive method, usually reserved for rear screens used out of doors. Here grommet holes must be in perfect alignment with the screw hooks. (Springs not supplied by Da-Lile.)

NOTE: Inside width and height of screen frame should be 12" greater than picture size or 7" greater than over-all size (including the webbing).

Lumber - Redwood, Spruce, Pine, White Fir. Use 2" x 4" stock for frames to hold screens 11' x 14' or under. Use 2" x 6" stock for screens of larger sizes.

Cutting Lumber - 2" x 4" stock-Cut sides or vertical pieces 1' 8" longer than over-all vertical measurements of screen.

Cut top and bottom or horizontal pieces 1' 3" longer than over-all horizontal width of screen. 2" x 6" stock-Cut vertical pieces 2' longer than over-all vertical measurements of screen. Cut top and bottom of horizontal pieces 1' 6" longer than over-all horizontal width of screen.

Notching

2" x 4" stock. Notch 2 vertical (shortest) pieces as shown. 2" x 6" stock is notched longer and deeper.

Bolting Frames

Drill 7/16" hole through notched pieces. Drill 1/4" hole into ends of horizontal pieces. Use 3/8" lag bolt with washer on 2" x 4" frames at corners. Use same lag bolts and washers for 2" x 6" stock.

Lacing Hooks

Place #8 screw hooks 4-1/2" from inside of corners. Space all others 6" apart. Measurements are same for frames of 2" x 4" and 2" x 6" stock.

Lacing With Roofing Nails

Use large head roofing nails on face of frame. Frame is now ready for lacing screen into position.

Bracing

Boll 2" x 4" corner braces to back of frame at all corners or gussel plates as illustrated. On 2" x 6" stock frames, up to 20' width, uses braces 8' long. 10' braces for 20' to 24' widths and 12' braces for widths over 24'.
