WEATHERSTRIP REPLACEMENT - CONTINUED
GLASS INSERT REPLACEMENT
Install New Glass Insert
NOTE: The exterior frame is attached to the glass and does not
have holes; the interior frame has screw holes.
1. Remove packaging materials from the new insert. If shipping screws are
holding the unit together, separate the interior and exterior frames by
loosening screws. Leave the screws in the interior frame and set aside.
Additional screws are provided to complete assembly.
2. Place the lower portion
of the exterior frame and
glass on the lower edge
of the door opening.
Horizontally center the
frame and glass into the
opening and tilt up until
the frame is ush against
the door.
3. Position the interior
frame in the opening
using the press t
alignment pins located
on the frame.
4. Secure the frame halves
together by driving the
screws through the
interior frame and into
the exterior frame with a
Phillips head screwdriver
until snug. Power drivers
can be used on the
lowest torque setting.
Screws must then be
checked with a hand screwdriver.
5. Finishing instructions are provided on the label attached to the door
glass. Please read this BEFORE removing the label.
6. Insert the provided screw hole plugs over all exposed screw heads.
7. Clean glass with mild soap and water.
Remove Old Glass Insert
NOTE: Handling glass can be dangerous. Glass inserts can be
heavy and awkward. Use additional help and always wear
protectiveclothing.
1. If the old insert has screw
plugs over the screw
heads in the interior
frame, drive a drywall
screw into the screw
plug until it is loose from
the hole. Remove all
remaining screw plugs in
the samemanner.
2. Support the glass insert
while removing screws
to keep it from falling.
Remove the screws from
the interior frame from
the bottom up.
3. When all the screws
are removed, slide the
edge of a putty knife
between a top corner of
the interior frame and
door. Work around the
entire perimeter until the
interior frame isloose.
4. Repeat this procedure
around the exterior
frame. Remove the glass
insert and set aside in a safe location.
5. Clean both sides of the door where the new glass insert will contact the
panel with a clean rag dampened with paint thinner. Remove all the old
weatherstrip and then wipe again with a clean rag.
Astragal Weatherstrip
1. Open active door all
theway.
2. Locate the accessible
weatherstrip.
3. Grip weatherstrip and
gently pull out of kerf.
4. Cut new weatherstrip
tolength.
5. Work the attachment barb
into the kerf from one end
to theother.
Foam Wedges
The foam wedges are used
to complete the weatherstrip
seal, at each bottom corner
of the operating door slab(s).
Doors are provided with one
of two types of wedges. One
has an up-turned L-shaped
leg and the other doesn’t
(shown). Contact us for the
appropriate replacement. For
both types, the thin edge
faces the edge of the door
as it swings closed. Apply a
bead of sealant (remove old
sealant rst if necessary) at the
intersection of the jambs, brickmoulds, thresholds and oor as shown.
