SEPARATE COMPONENT SILL MEASUREMENTS
Measure height from
the bottom of the
threshold (remove if
necessary) to the tallest
part of the bottom
of the head jamb as
shown. Measure width
between the widest
part of the side jambs.
COMBINATION SILL MEASUREMENTS
Measure height from
the bottom of the
side jamb stop to the
tallest part of the
bottom of the head
jamb. Measure width
between the widest
part of the side jambs.
• Verify the existing
jambs are square.
The (A) and (B)
measurements
should be the same.
Maximum allowable
deviation from
square is 1/4".
• Verify the existing
jambs are level
and plumb (C). The
maximum allowable
deviation is 1/8".
• The existing sill must
not be crowned
or sagged (D) A 5
degree sloped sill is
recommended. The
sill must be in good
condition and not leaking; replacement doors will not correct current
water damage or infiltration issues.
• Fix all problems prior to installation.
VERIFY MEASUREMENTS
When taking measurements, measure jambs as shown (not any
weatherstrip or hardware) height/width on both ends and in the
middle, use the smallest measurement from each. The space between
the replacement door and existing jamb must between
5/16"- 1"on width and 5/16"- 13/16" on height.
