BEFORE YOU BEGIN:
1. Do not remove the plastic door plug until instructed to do so.
It keeps the door closed and aligned during shipping. The door plug
is in the hole for the door lock set. If the door unit has handles on the
latch and hinge jambs, remove them.
2. Make sure that the new door will properly t in your frame
opening. The recommended frame opening is 3/4" wider and 1/2"
higher than the door unit. Resize the opening if needed. It is important
that the oor is level without any bumps. Use the two foot long level
to make sure oor is within 1/16" of perfectly at. Use a carpenter’s
square and six foot long level to check the frame opening for square
and plumb. Minor (less than 1/4") out of plumb and square conditions
at the sides and top can be corrected by using shims. Larger
misalignments must be corrected before installation. Diagonal
measurements must be equal to within 1/4" (as shown in Figure B).
WEATHER BARRIER INSTALLATION
An installation that is resistant to air and water leaks depends
upon properly ashing the frame opening and installing a sill pan
before installing the door unit. Building codes vary as to actual
requirements. Also, different siding types require different ashing
details. Please check with local building professionals for best
ashing practices and regional code requirements.
STORM DOORS
Non-Vented Storm Doors will void the Feather River Door warranty. A
Non-Vented Storm Door will build up enough heat to permanently warp
the door. Our doors are energy efcient and storm door protection
is not necessary. If installing a storm door, it must be ventilated to
reduce the amount of heat buildup. Installing a Non-Vented storm
door in an area with sun exposure will cause issues due to extreme
heat (UV deterioration, color fading, warping, caulk/sealant oozing).
