STRUCTURALLY SECURE SILL
Note! Applies to swinging doors and sliding doors with pre-drilled
holes on the lower interior edge of the fiberglass sill only. Apply
sealant to the threads of all screws, and, after installation, cover the
tops of all screws with sealant. Use previously removed screws (if
present) for wood subfloors or use 3/16" x 2 1/2" self-tapping concrete
screws for concrete.

6" from each end of each panel. For adjustable thresholds, drive
screws through the aluminum sill in front of every other screw in
