• Remove shipping materials such as corner covers, shipping blocks

• Inspect slab for cosmetic damage, squareness and warp.
• Verify it is the correct product (size, color, design, handing, etc.).
If any of the above conditions represent a concern, do not install
the slab. Contact the supplier for recommendations.
• Existing jamb should be
3/16" wider than the slab
and at least 3/8" taller.
There should be enough
distance between the
jamb edge and the stop
to accommodate the
thickness of the slab.
• Verify the existing jamb
is square. The (A) and (B)
measurements should
be the same. Maximum
allowable deviation from
square is 1/4".
• Verify the rough opening
is plumb (C, E and D).
The maximum allowable
deviation is 1/8".
• The opening oor or sill must be at and level (not be crowned or
sagged) (D).
• The face of the rough opening must be in a single plane (E) with less
than 1/8" twist from corner to corner.
• Do not install the slab unless the jamb meets the above conditions.
Professional assistance may be necessary to correct any problems

Verify Square, Level and Plumb
IMPORTANT: The door slab should be nished (painted or stained)
on all six sides with an equal number of coats after all routing,
trimming, boring and touch-up has been completed and it has been
properly t in the jamb.
NOTE: If hinges are already installed on the slab, do not remove
hinges for nishing.
Failure to nish on all six sides and install into a square, level
and plumb condition could result in denial of warranty claims for
operational or performance problems. See our nishing document
at www.jeld-wen.com for nishing requirements and details.
Prepare Jambs and Slab
1. Measure the existing
frame (not the stop) from
oor to head and from
side to side in several
places to verify the slab
will t. The frame should
be 3/16" wider than the
slab (1/16" clearance on
the hinge jamb and 1/8"
clearance on the strike
jamb) and tall enough
(usually 1/4"-1/2" taller)
to allow 1/8" clearance on the head jamb and allow the slab to operate
without rubbing on any ooring.
