Installation screw locations change depending upon configuration
and finish. Sidelite jambs are different than Hinge or Latch Jambs.
PVC jambs are different than wood jambs. Use the table to choose
a method depending upon jamb type and jamb finish.
METHOD ONE: Open Door and remove jamb weatherstrip to
minimize damage. For each hinge or latch jamb next to a frame
opening, drill two 3/16" holes. Locate one 8" from the top and
one 8" from the bottom. Drill the holes 1/4" from the jamb stop
(Figure 3b). Drive #10 x 3" screws through holes in hinge jamb,
leaving screw heads 1/4" above jamb surface. Place additional
shims directly above screws (Figure 3c). Make sure new shims
are tight but do not bow the jamb. Recheck hinge jamb to make
sure it is still plumb. Finish driving screw heads 1/16" below jamb
surface to avoid damaging door.
METHOD TWO: Open Door and remove jamb weatherstrip to
minimize damage. For each hinge or latch jamb next to a frame
opening, drill two 3/16" holes. Locate one at 8" from the top and
one at 8" from the bottom. Drill the holes 1/4" from the jamb stop
(Figure 3b). Drive #10 x 3" screws through holes in hinge jamb,
leaving screw heads a 1/4" above jamb surface. Place additional
shims directly above screws (Figure 3c). Make sure new shims
are tight but do not bow the jamb. Recheck hinge jamb to make
sure it is still plumb. Finish driving screw heads flush to jamb
surface to avoid damaging door (Figure 3d).
METHOD THREE: For each sidelite jamb next to a frame opening,
drill four 3/16" holes. Locate first at 8" from the top and second
at 8" from the bottom. Space holes 1-1/4" from sidelite surface
(Figure 3e). Equally space additional two holes between first two
holes. On hinge side only, drive #10 x 3" screws through holes.
Place additional shims directly above screws. Make sure new
shims are tight but do not bow the jamb (Figure 3c). Recheck
sidelite jamb to make sure it is still plumb. Finish driving screw
heads slightly (1/16") below jamb surface.
METHOD FOUR: For each sidelite jamb next to a frame opening,
drill four 3/16" holes. Locate one at 8" from the top and one at 8"
from the bottom. Space holes 1-1/4" from sidelite surface
(Figure 3e). Equally space additional two holes between first two
holes. On hinge side only, drive #10 x 3" screws through holes.
Place additional shims directly above screws (Figure 3c).
Make sure new shims are tight but do not bow the jamb.
Recheck sidelite jamb to make sure it is still plumb. Adjust shims
if necessary. Finish driving screw heads flush to jamb surface.
METHOD FIVE: These jambs have pre-drilled counterbores. Drill
3/16" holes through the counterbores per Figure 3f. On hinge side
only, drive #10 x 3" screws through holes. Place additional shims
directly above screws (Figure 3c). Make sure new shims are tight
but do not bow the jamb. Recheck sidelite jamb to make sure it
is still plumb. Drive screw heads 1/4" below the jamb surface to
allow room for hole plug (Figure 3f).
