Welcome to another Q&A session where I answer questions from y'all on the internet.
Today's question is:
So retrofit is going to actually slide into the opening, and then we're going to screw it into the framing around the actual frame of it. The, uh, the other style, nail and flange, is going to be inserted into that opening, but it has a little bit of play each way, and then you screw through the flanges.
So it's a similar process. It's just slightly different on how they're secured.
