1. Make sure that the door will properly fit in your
opening. The recommended rough opening is
1/2" wider and 1/2" higher than the door unit.
Ensure the floor is level and use a carpenter's
square and level to check that the opening is
square and plumb. Apply beads of caulk to the
underside of the door sill. Place the frame into the
opening and shim into place behind the installation
holes. Use a level to ensure the frame is plumb,
level, and square.
2. Anchor the frame with #12 X 3" screws using the
pre-drilled installation holes at the top and bottom
corners. Be careful not to over tighten or strip the
screws and recheck for plumb, level, and square when
finished. Shim and anchor the frame though the
remaining pre-drilled installation holes taking care not to
bow the frames when shimming.
3. After completely anchoring the frame, position
the door panel in place as shown in the image
above. 2 people are recommended for this step as
well as a wooden block under the door to hold the
door at the correct height to line up at the hinges.
4. Set the hinge pin when the hinges are aligned
and tighten the hinge pin security screw with the
T-10 bit.
5. Place the hinge caps at the top and bottom of
each hinge.
