SAFETY AND HANDLING
SILL CONDITIONS
SAFETY
• Read and fully understand ALL manufacturers’ instructions before
beginning. Failure to follow proper installation and finishing
instructions may result in the denial of warranty claims for
operational performance problems.
• Do not work alone. Two or more people are required. Use safe lifting
techniques.
• Use caution when handling glass. Broken or cracked glass can cause
serious injury.
• Wear protective gear (e.g. safety glasses, gloves, ear protection, etc.).
• Operate hand/power tools safely and follow manufacturer’s operating
instructions.
• Use caution when working at elevated heights.
• If disturbing existing paint, take proper precautions if lead paint is
suspected (commonly used before 1979). Your regional EPA (www.
epa.gov/lead) or Consumer Product Safety Commission offices provide
information regarding regulations and lead protection.
• WARNING: Drilling, sawing, sanding or machining wood products
generates wood dust, a substance known to the State of California to
cause cancer. Use a respirator or other safeguards to avoid inhaling
wood dust.

be found on our website: www.jeld-wen.com. Note that alternative
installation methods and flashing systems may be utilized at the
installer’s or owner’s discretion and, in such situations the installation
should be done in accordance with the flashing manufacturer’s
instructions. Follow all material manufacturers’ instructions for
proper use and compatibility. When using flashing, spray adhesive/
primer, sealant and foam products, we recommend using the
same manufacturer and verifying compatibility. It is the End User’s
responsibility to determine if dissimilar materials are compatible to the
substrates in the application.
• Lockset and deadbolt
• Finishing materials (paint, masking tape, drop cloths etc.)
• Non-compressible and non-water degradable shims

MATERIALS AND TOOLS
COMBINATION SILL
The entire
combination sill
must be removed. A
spacer block (oak or
water-proof material
recommended) will
need to be fashioned
to fit under the
existing jamb stops
and water-proofed
before installing the replacement door. The replacement door sill will sit
on the new spacer block.
These instructions cover installations on two types of sill conditions:
The separate component sill and the combination sill. For installations
not specifically addressed in these instructions, consult a building
professional.
SEPARATE COMPONENT SILL
The existing
threshold will need
to be unscrewed and
removed to provide
a flat surface for the
replacement door sill to
sit on.
