H) Apply sealant to sill rough opening:
c. Apply three 1/4” continous beads of silicone across the entire width of the rough
opening.. Fig. 18 shows the silicone location for a 4 9/16” and 6 9/16” inswing door.
The bead location will be different for other jamb sizes. (Fig. 18)
d. Apply a 1/4" continuous bead of silicone 1/2" from each side of the rough opening. The
bead will run the entire depth of the jamb starting at the face of the wall. (Fig. 19)
I) Set the door into the rough opening. Center the unit in the opening, making sure there are
equal gaps on both sides of the door.
J) Temporarily hold the door in place using 2 1/2” drywall screws through the pre-drilled holes
at both top corners of the door frame. Do not drive the screws in fully.
K) Start with a shim at each corner no more than 1” from the jamb corner. Add additional shims
at each pre-drilled frame hole. Note to use flat shims or pairs of triangle shims to ensure the
jamb does not twist. (Fig. 20)
L) Additional shims are required at each lock point, head shootbolt and hinge location for all
operating doors. (Fig. 20)
