Installation systems and methods for fenestration units configured to be set into a rough opening (RO) from interior side of a building structure or wall. The fenestration units may include a frame having a perimeter; and at least one anchoring clip including a first anchoring clip. The first anchoring clip may be coupled to the perimeter of the frame and transitionable between a stowed configuration and a deployed configuration. The first anchoring clip may include a coupling bracket having a first leg and a second leg and a carrier bracket configured to receive the first leg of the coupling bracket. In the stowed configuration, the second leg projects inwardly away from the perimeter toward the center of the frame, and in the deployed configuration, the second leg projects outwardly from perimeter and away from the center of the frame.

Fenestration unit installation clips and associated methods

Installation systems and methods for fenestration units configured to be set into a rough opening (RO) from interior side of a building structure or wall. The fenestration units may include a retention system coupled to the frame and operable to exert a retention force on the fenestration unit to maintain positive engagement of the fenestration unit with the rough opening framing and resist extraction of the fenestration unit from the rough opening upon insertion of the fenestration unit in the rough opening from the interior side of the rough opening.
