Installation Guide

A. To determine which end of the handle side Z-bar is top, hold handle side Z-bar up to door
opening opposite hinge side Z-bar. The weatherstripping will face the door opening. Mark top of
handle side Z-bar with tape for future reference.
.
B. The handle side Z-bar will need to be cut to the handle side
opening door height. To do so, measure the door open-
ing height on the handle side from the underside of
rain cap to top of door sill.
C. Using this measurement, measure down
from top of handle side Z-bar and mark a
cutting line. Note: If your entryway sill has an
angled slope, you may wish to cut Z-bar at a
slight angle to match.
D. Set handle side Z-bar in door opening so the
top is pushed against underside of rain cap.
Maintain a consistent 1/4" gap (shimming may be
required) between handle side Z-bar (adjust Z-bar as
needed) and side edge of door.
E. Drill a 1/8" pilot hole through top mounting hole and into brickmold.
F. Secure top of the handle side
Z-bar with one (1) #8 x 1" painted screw. Re-check to make sure you have maintained the 1/4"
gap and drill 1/8" pilot holes through the remaining mounting holes. Install the remaining six (6)
#8 x 1" painted screws to secure the Z-bar in the opening.
