INSTALLATION:

IMPORTANT: Before setting the door unit into the rough opening, apply

generous beads (1/2" minimum diameter) of caulk to the underside of

the door sill at locations shown in Figure 1a/1b, including the bottom of jambs

(or plastic jamb adapters as shown) and brickmoulds. Apply at least four lines

of bead along the full length of the sill. If Brickmould is already attached to the

jamb, apply a 1/2" bead of caulk around the entire perimeter. This caulk

bead should be within 1/2" of outside edge of the Brickmould as shown

in Figure 1a/1b.

For a single door, remove the bolt from the plastic door plug.

For a double door, remove the screws from the head jamb that

secure doors during shipping. For a multiple panel door system, get

help when lifting, setting and aligning. From the outside, center and

tip the door unit into the opening per Figure 2a. To keep the sealant

beads from smearing, avoid sliding the door into place. Make sure

the backside of the brickmould is against the outside sheathing.

The inside wall should be within 1/8" of the inside jamb surfaces.

Use the two foot long level to make sure sill is less than 1/16" out

of level. Fix any problems before moving onto next step.

NOTE: Cover the door sill to protect against scratches during

installation or between building construction and occupation.

Any contact with wet cement or cement powder will damage

the sill nish.

NOTE: These instructions minimize the number of fasteners

an installer must cover before nishing the door installation.

Therefore, it is important to use help and shims to stabilize the

door unit during installation.

PLUMB HINGE JAMB: From the inside, place shims

between both jambs and frame opening at the same levels

per Figure 3a. Locate shims at the top of the door unit and near

the bottom hinge. Use a six foot long level to plumb the hinge

jamb both left to right and inside to outside. For a Sidelite Unit,

plumb the jamb closest to the hinges. For a Double Door Unit,

plumb the passive side jamb. (The passive side is the normally

closed side). Adjust shims so they are tight before opening door.
