Installation Instructions:

1. Measure the rough opening.

2. Trim the frame to fit around the door slab being

used (about 1/8 in. gap) and also to fit 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 fit most sills. The top of the side is

notched to fit the top frame. Trim the bottoms to

fit the sill being used and to fit the height. Cut the

top frame 1-1/2 in. smaller than the final frame

width needed.

3. Screw each side frame to the top frame with (3)

#8 x 1-5/8 in. screws.

4. Set the frame assembly in the rough opening.

Shim the frame in place at 5 locations on each

side. Ensure it is plumb, level and square.

5. Fasten the frame to the rough opening with #10 x

3 in. screws through the side frames at each shim

location underneath the weather seal.

6. Install the 4Ever Composite Brickmould kit on the exterior of the door frame.

7. Install interior trim on the interior of the door frame.

8. Install hinges and lock plates as needed for the door being hung on the frame. Route the frame to fit the hinges and

lock plates selected.

9. For primed and woodgrain composite jambs, finish 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.

10. Seal with high quality caulk: inside top corners, bottom corners to sill, brickmould to siding, and brickmould to

frame.
