INSTALLATION:
IMPORTANT: Before setting the door unit into the
rough opening, apply generous beads of caulk to the
underside of the door sill at locations shown in Figure
1a or 1b, including the plastic jamb adapter and
brickmold. Make sure that at least 4 lines of bead
seal the full width of the sill. Also apply a continuous
and generous amount of bead of caulk to the back
side of brickmolds as shown in figure 1c.

For a single door, remove
the bolt from the plastic door
plug. From outside, set the
door unit into the opening
per Figure 2a. For a heavier
door system, get help when
lifting, setting and aligning.
From the inside, place a
solid shim directly behind
each hinge between the
hinge jamb (or approx. same
level as hinges on sidelite
jamb) and opening frame per
Figure 2b. Keep the door
unit level, square and plumb
on all four sides. Remove
the plastic door plug
completely.
Temporarily secure the door
unit to the frame with two #8
x 3” screws or two 10d finish
nails. Fasten at about 2”
below the top hinge and 2”
above the bottom hinge
through the jamb and into
the opening frame.
Make sure weatherstrip
contact and margin are
equal all around. Make
further adjustments for level,
square and plumb. Use 3 or
4 (8ft door) solid shims
between the latch jamb and
opening frame per Figure 2b.
Additional shims may be
used to keep the door
aligned. Test to ensure
proper operation of the door.

Permanently fasten 3” exterior grade screws (not included)
through the jambs into the shim and the frame. Do not over
tighten the screws. Over tightening may cause jambs to
bow. Remove excess shims and temporary fasteners. Do
not shim or fasten the head jamb of the single door unit.
Additional Anchoring for Single Door with Sidelites
Shim above mullion per Figure 2c. Fasten 3” exterior grade
screws (not included) through head jamb into the shim and
the frame. Remove excess shim.
