I am installing new vent windows and I don't have any of the original screws from the old doors. What size screws do I need for the 3 holes in the front of the window frame?

If the holes are good, we use #8x3/8" stainless steel. In some cases we have had to use #10x3/8". Phillips head.

You should use anti seize on any stainless bolt or screw that is in contact with other metals.
