INSTALL DOOR
ASSEMBLE FRAME
1. On a clean and at
surface, carefully
position head,
jambs and sill with
the interior facing
down.
2. Run a bead of
silicone on all
surfaces of the sill
as shown. If gaskets
are provided,
adhere to both ends
of the sill. Repeat
silicone application
for the head where
the ends will
contact the jambs.
3. Clamp the frame corners as needed to ensure that the frame sections
t together ush and secure through the pre-drilled holes in the
jambs with the provided #10 x 2 1/2" at head screws.
INSTALL FRAME
Warning! To avoid injury, use at least two people to install.
1. Apply a 3/8"
continuous bead of
sealant across the sill
pan back dam.
2. Tilt the frame into
the rough opening.
Make sure the back of
the frame sill makes
solid contact with the
sealant on the sill pan
back dam. Adequately
support the frame
until fully installed.
SHIM THE JAMBS
Note! Secure all shims
with sealant.
1. From the interior,
shim the side and
head jambs 6" from
the corners and then
every 16" on center.
Also shim at the strike
plate(s) if applicable.
Align shims so that
strike plate screws
(installed later) will
each penetrate a shim.
2. Inspect the frame for
square, level, and
plumb (remove and
reinstall if necessary). The sill should be level and the head should
have a 1/8" upward bow.
