STEP 8: ADJUST SILL
Remove the transport clip. Open and close door to check for
smooth operation.
With the door open at the top hinge, drill 1/8 inch diameter pilot
holes in the screw hole locations closest to the weatherstrip (if no
screws previously installed). If screws are previously installed, remove
3/4 inch screws and install #10 x 2-1/2 inch screws. For middle and
bottom hinges, proceed to install one (1) #10 x 2-1/2" screw in the
bottom hole, closest to the weatherstrip. Make sure all installed
screws go through the hinge, into the stud, to anchor the door frame
and prevent sagging.
STEP 7: REMOVE THE TRANSPORT CLIP & OPEN DOOR
With the door open, check to determine if the 2-1/2 inch long hinge
screws were pre-installed in the hinges. If not, drill 1/8 inch diameter
pilot holes and install the long hinge screws in the hole locations closest
to the weatherstrip.
Close the door and carefully shim between the jamb and the opening
behind the strike plate area.
Then open the door and drill 1/8 inch diameter pilot holes and install
the #8 X 2-1/2 inch screws (provided) through the strike plate holes to
secure the lock side jamb and provide security.
STEP 7A: SIDELITE AND PATIO UNITS THAT ARE HINGED AT THE CENTER:
Your door unit may have an adjustable threshold cap. When properly
adjusted, it should be snug and slightly difcult to pull a dollar bill out
from under the door when it is fully closed. The dollar bill should be able
to be removed without tearing.
This check should be performed at each adjustment screw location.
After adjusting the threshold cap, ensure that the weatherstrip is ush
with the top of the threshold cap. Trim as necessary.
