Door Installation For Wood Brickmould Units
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 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: 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.
NOTE: Drilling pilot holes for either screws or nails
will help prevent wood brick mould from
splitting and cracking.
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 stainless 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.
5. Secure one side top corner with a #8 stainless
steel screw long enough to penetrate framing
material by at least 1-1/2" (FIGURE 4).
NOTE: If maintaining design pressure ratings are
not a concern, galvanized casing nails,
long enough to penetrate framing material
by at least 1-1/2", may be used instead of
screws.
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.
