Installation Instructions

STEP 1: Measure the rough opening.

STEP 2: Trim the frame to t around the door slab

being used (about 1/8 in. gap) and also to t in the

rough opening (about 1/2 in. gap.) The thick part

on the bottom of the side frame is factory cut at 5

degrees to t most sills. The top of the side is notched

to t the top frame. Trim the bottoms to t the sill

being used and to t the height. Cut the top frame

1-1/2 in. smaller than the nal frame width needed

STEP 3: Screw each side frame to the top frame with

(3) #8 x 1-5/8 in. screws.

STEP 4: Set the frame assembly in the rough opening.

Shim the frame in place at 5 locations on each side

and 1 on the head. Ensure it is plumb, level and

square.

STEP 5: Fasten the frame to the rough opening with

#10 x 3 in. screws through the side frames and head

at each shim location underneath the weather seal.

STEP 6: Install the Composite Brickmould kit on the

exterior of the door frame.

STEP 7: Install interior trim on the interior of the door

frame.

STEP 8: Install hinges and lock plates as needed for

the door being hung on the frame. Route the frame

to t the hinges and lock plates selected.

STEP 9: For primed and woodgrain composite

jambs, nish the surface of the frames within 15 days

of installation to prevent the factory primer from

breaking down. Woodgrain has a tan primer on it to

accept stain, clear coat, or paint.

STEP 10: Seal with high quality caulk: inside top

corners, bottom corners to sill, brickmould to siding,

and brickmould to frame.
