Installation Instructions

6
Note: 1, 2, and 3-Wide units ship with all inserts
completely installed in the frame.
4-Wide units ship in a KD (knocked-down)
condition and require assembly before
installation. See instructions for 4-wide units
starting on Page 24.
1. Remove all protective cardboard, strapping,
other packing materials, and the hardware
packages.
2. To equalize weight of the unit, slide active insert
until it is fully shut.
IMPORTANT: If unit is to meet design
pressure ratings, a maximum 1/4" shim space
is required around perimeter. Unit must be
secured with #8 steel screws, long enough to
penetrate framing material by at least 1-1/2".
See “Design Pressure Performance – Fastening
Method” chart on Page v for screw spacing.
NOTE: If maintaining design pressure ratings
are not a concern, roofing nails long
enough to penetrate framing material
by at least 1-1/2", may be used
instead of screws.
IMPORTANT: Before proceeding,
silicone sealant must be applied to the
rough opening and sub sill as described
on Page 4.
3. From the exterior, center and insert the door into
the opening (FIGURE 1).
4. While holding door in place, level unit on
the interior or exterior across the sill and head
(FIGURES 2 & 3). To level the unit, place shims
directly below the side jambs only.
IMPORTANT: Sill must be level and
have solid support for its full length.
5. Secure one side top corner with a #8 steel
screw long enough to penetrate framing material
by at least 1-1/2" (FIGURE 4).
Weight of door unit(s) and accessories will vary.
Use a reasonable number of people with sufficient
strength to lift, carry and install door unit(s) and
accessories. Always consider site conditions and
use appropriate techniques when installing.
