After Installation
1. Leave an expansion/contraction gap of approximately 3/8" between the
door frame and the nal exterior wall surface (siding, stucco, etc.). For
a nished look and additional protection, seal this gap on the sides with
backer rod and sealant. If sealant is applied above the drip cap ensure
the sealant bead is discontinuous to allow for drainage.
2. Protect recently installed units from damage from plaster and paint.
3. Remove labels or other materials adhered to glass within 30 days
afterinstallation.
4. Apply interior trim as desired for a more nished look.
Ball Catch Installation
1. Place the handle panel on saw horses so the interior of the panel is
facingupward.
2. Along the top edge, measure in 2 1/2" and down 3/4". Use a pencil to
mark this location.
3. From the interior of the panel (side facing up), measure 3/4" down the
previously marked line and make a mark.
NOTE: This mark is the center location of the borehole for the ball
catch. Use the spade bit and a mallet to punch a starting hole at
thislocation.
4. Measure 1 1/4" from the cutting
edge of a 15/16" spade bit and
mark the location with tape (this
will indicate when you have
reached the proper depth of
thebore).
5. Using a drill and a 15/16" spade
bit, bore out the material to
the depth of the tape on the
boringbit.
6. Once the bore is complete,
remove any excess debris and
install the ball catch (ball facing
up) into the borehole using a
rubber mallet.
NOTE: If the ball catch ts loose in the borehole, tape can be applied to
the housing of the ball catch and reinserted.
7. Using a square, transcribe
the line used to mark the
location of the bore (21/2"
from the edge of the panel)
to the interior face of
thepanel.
NOTE: Please mark with a
pencil so it can be erased
easily. This mark is to
reference the location of
the strike plate.
Strike Plate Installation
NOTE: Only install the strike plate if the ball catch has been installed.
1. With the panels installed
and fully adjusted, close
and lock the door from
theinterior.
2. Using a square, transcribe
the reference line from the
face of the interior panel to
the head jamb.
3. Unlock and open the door.
Position the strike plate
directly in front of the
weatherstripping on the
head jamb and line the
middle of the strike plate
with the reference line on
the headjamb.
4. Using the two screw holes
as a guide, mark the pre-
drilllocation.
