Single Unit Sidelite Unit Double Unit

STEP 4 (continued): Plumb Hinge Side Jamb

Work from side of the door that is weather-stripped.

Use a 6 foot level and plumb the hinge side jamb both ways

(right to left and inside to outside).

Place screws through the hinge side jamb into the studs, at

each remaining hinge location, as shown in the diagrams. Use

#8 X 2-1/2 inch or 3 inch exterior grade screws.

DO NOT drive the screws completely in at this time.

For Single or Double Doors, place screws at each hinge

location, so shims can be placed behind hinges above

screws. The screws will keep the shims from falling down while

adjustments are being made.

For Sidelite units, fasten the jamb on the hinge side of the door.

For Double Door and Patio Units, fasten the xed or passive side

of the unit rst.

STEP 5: Shim at Hinge Locations & Secure Hinge Jamb

Leave door fastened and closed with transport clip.

Shim above screws, behind each hinge location, between the

opening and the jamb.

Use a 6 foot level and re-check hinge jamb to ensure it is plumb

and straight.

Finish driving screws tight in the middle rst then top and

bottom last.

STEP 6: Adjust Rest of Frame & Fasten

From the weatherstrip side of the door, check weatherstrip

margins and contact.

Make frame adjustments so the weatherstrip contacts the door

surface equally at the top, middle and bottom, an even 3/8

inch to 1/2 inch when fully closed.

Secure the lock side jamb with #8 X 2-1/2 or 3 inch screws

through the pre-drilled holes at the top and bottom. Do Not

drive screws tight at this time.

From the swing side of the door, shim above the screw locations

and make adjustments so the margins between the door and

frame are even top to bottom.

Note: For Double Doors, make adjustments that effect the

alignment, margins and weatherstrip contact between the

doors. Also follow the Astragal Site Package Instructions

for details on properly setting the slide bolt hole locations.

Re-check everywhere for plumb and square, and an even

weatherstrip contact. Finish driving all screws tight.
