equal gaps on both sides of the door.
K) Temporarily tack the door in place using 2” galvanized roofing nails through the pre-punched
holes at both top corners of the nailing flange. Do not drive the nails in fully.
L) Start with a shim at each corner no more than 1” from the jamb corner. Add additional shims
spaced evenly from the center of the unit make sure shims are spaced no more than 16” apart.
Note to use flat shims or pairs of triangle shims to ensure the jamb does not twist. (Fig. 15)
M) Additional shims are required at each lock point, head shootbolt and hinge location for all
operating doors. (Fig. 15)
N) Nail all four corners in place through the pre-punched holes in the nail flange.
