General Instructions
1. Assembly area must be smooth, flat and large
enough to accommodate entire door frame and
allow working space around perimeter of frame.
2. Area should be free of debris and abrasive
material to eliminate damage to components.
3. Carefully unpack door unit and inventory
contents. If any components are missing obtain
replacements before starting assembly and
installation.
4. General sequence
is to assemble the frame,
install inserts in the frame, install frame in the
rough opening, and then install handle/lockset.
5. As frame parts are unpacked and organized for
assembly, place parts in proper orientation to one
another (FIGURES 1 & 2).
NOTE: Assembly for 4-wide frames, whether
aluminum clad or wood brickmould, is
almost identical. What differs is how the
brickmould head and side jamb corners are
secured.
The following assembly instructions should
be followed for either style unit.
A gray background is used to highlight
variations that must be followed for wood
brickmould units.
