Installation Guidelines for Ashworth

Patio Doors by Woodgrain Millwork

Installer

• Read instructions completely before attempting installation. Failure to follow these guidelines will

forfeit the Ashworth warranty coverage, written or implied.

• Always provide a copy of these instructions to the homeowner.

• These instructions are consistent with ASTM 2112 “Standard Practice for Installation of Exterior

Windows, Doors, and Skylights” into common wall constructions. Contact your architect or

construction professional for installation into other building designs or construction methods.

• Regional codes and environmental conditions may require installation that is different from these

guidelines. It is your responsibility to ensure that local codes and ordinances are followed.

Warning!

Work Safe! Always wear proper eye and hearing protection when installing or adjusting Ashworth

products.

Use Power Tools Properly! To avoid personal injury, always follow manufacturer’s instructions

for safe operation of power tools.

Ladder Safety! Working at elevated levels can be hazardous. Always use ladders and scaffolding

properly. Consult manufacturer’s guidelines for safe use of these types of equipment.

Safety Glazing! Some Ashworth products may not contain safety glazing unless specifically

ordered that way. Use caution - injury could result if glass is broken and fragmented. Building

codes require safety glazing for windows installed in certain areas. Consult your local building

code official for guidelines.

Important

• Woodgrain Millwork reserves the right to change the information contained in these guidelines

without notice.

• Maintain a minimum of ¼” between the door frame and any trim, siding, or masonry.

• Use of Ashworth products in barrier EIFS systems (synthetic stucco) is not recommended. To do so

will forfeit all warranties (written or implied), and Woodgrain Millwork will not be held responsible

for any claims or damages resulting from water infiltration.

• Steel fasteners will corrode when used with ACQ Pressure Treated Lumber. Use corrosion resistant

fasteners (such as stainless steel) when installing windows in or around these types of materials

• Door nailing flanges and drip caps (integral or applied) do not take the place of window flashing. All

windows and doors must be properly flashed and sealed around the perimeter.

Handling & Storage

• Always carry door units upright. Do not carry flat! Doing so could result in damage to the unit.

• Do not store units outside.

Note: These installation instructions contain two methods of installation: Nail

fin and no nail fin installation.

Step 3: Flashing the Sill A) B) C) Important! a. Use flashing that is 6” minimum in width. b. Flashing must meet ASTM-D779 performance requirements. Measure the width of the rough opening. Cut a length of flashing that is 12” wider than the rough opening. This will allow you to run the flashing 6” up each side. Cut 1 1/2” slits at each end of the flashing as shown below. (Fig. 5) Fig. 5 D) E) Apply sill flashing to the rough opening as shown below. (Fig. 6) Flashing tape must cover the entire sill.
