Warning! To avoid injury, use at least two people to install. Adequately
support the door until completely fastened.
1. Apply a 3/8" bead of sealant where the back of the trim meets the
frame. Tool into a llet shape. Run another bead of sealant along the
back of the n/trim where it will contact the structure.
2. Tilt the door into the
rough opening, making
sure the inside of the
door sill is fully seated
into the sealant on the
sill pan back dam.
3. Secure the door in the
rough opening by pre-
drilling holes and then
driving #8 x 3" drywall/
deck screws into the
thick part of the jamb
where shown. Do not
fully seat screws.
SHIM PATIO DOOR
Note! Secure all shims
with sealant.
From the interior, shim
the head and side jambs
6" from the corners and
at 8" intervals. Install
shims at the strike
plate and at each hinge
location so the screws
(installed later) will each
penetrate a shim. If
installing a door with a
hinge jamb in the middle,
shim underneath the mull
for support. Shim so the
door is square, level and
plumb. Verify there is a
1/8" margin between the frame and the doorpanels.

6. Cut two pieces of
self-adhered ashing
6" wide by the sill pan
width + 3" long.
a. For continuous slab
landings only, cut out
the inside corner.
b. Adhere the pieces of
ashing to the inside
corners. Stretch
ashing as needed
to cover corners and
layat.
7. Smooth gaps or bubbles
beneath self-adhered
ashing with a J-roller
(remove and replace
ifnecessary).
8. Seal back corners of sill
pan with sealant.
9. For step-down landings
only, cut plastic drain
screen to length of sill
+ 2" and staple 1/2"
below sill edge. The
drain screen provides a
path for air to dry any
incidental moisture in
the roughopening.

Wall Instructions
continue with section 7
“INSTALLDOOR.”
FOR RETROFIT INSTALLATIONS
Remove the old door. Remove sufficient siding to expose at least 9"
of intact building wrap. If damaged, apply new building wrap in a
shiplap manner. Verify header and trimmer studs are structurally sound.
Continue with instructions.
PREPARE BUILDING WRAP
Verify these steps do not
void the building wrap
manufacturer’s warranty.
1. Trim building wrap
ush with the edges of
the rough opening.
2. At the head, slit
building wrap 6" at 45°.
Tape up as shown.
3. Trim the sides
sufciently to allow
the nailing n to be
mounted against
thesheathing.
4. Apply spray adhesive/
primer to the sill pan
and surrounding area.
Follow manufacturer’s
instructions for
application methods.
5. Cut a piece of self-
adhered ashing the
length of the sill and
apply over the sill pan as shown. The bottom of the sill pan should
be completely covered by the self-adhered ashing. For step-down
landings, fold ashing down as shown. For continuous slabs, trim
ush with rough opening.
