Please allow sufcient time to prepare the rough opening properly, install the patio
door and ensure its proper operation. Not all exterior door types may be installed into
every wall condition in all areas. Consult your local building code ofcial (or Authority
having jurisdiction) for applicable building codes and regulations. Local building code
requirements supersede recommended installation instructions.
PLEASE NOTE: Any door installation such that the sill is higher than 35 feet above
ground level or into a wall condition not specically addressed in these instructions
must be designed by an architect or structural engineer. Failure to properly nish or
install square, level and plumb and on a at surface (without peak and valleys) could
result in denial of warranty claims for operational or performance problems.
NOTE TO INSTALLER: Provide a copy of these instructions to the building
owner. By installing this product, you acknowledge the terms and conditions
of the limited warranty as part of the terms of the sale.
Exterior Buck or Bump Out Framing
Typically a wood framework attached to the exterior face of the building. The
framework should be structurally attached and sealed to the building. The door unit
will be fastened to this framework.
Hook strip
Metal frame component that is positioned along the edge of the door opening to the
exterior face of the building. This part serves to engage the last panel out of the pocket
and form a weather seal.
Interlock
A weatherstrip component that runs vertically along the stiles of sliding patio door
panels. When the door is closed, the interlocks engage, locking together, to create a
weather barrier.
Liquid Applied Flashing or Membrane
A sealant-like material that is typically applied by brush or trowel to improve the water
resistance of a substrate.
Panel Bumper
A bumper, installed on the head track, that acts as a panel stop.
Panel Catch
A square stop, installed on the face of the panel, that acts as a catch when operating a
multi-panel system.
Recessed Opening or Pocket
A recessed wall detail that forms a cavity, or pocket, on the exterior of the building.
Generally, the nished exterior cladding (e.g. stucco) of the building forms the back
wall of the pocket.
Self-Adhered Flashing (SAF)
An adhered backed tape material, generally not requiring mechanical fasteners, used
to waterproof the rough opening and/or used to seal a patio door to the building’s
weather barrier.
Shiplap
The layering method in which each layer overlaps the layer below it so that water runs
down and to the outside.
Sill Pan
A ashing component installed in the sill of the rough opening underneath the door.
Sill pans have upturned walls along the interior edge and at both ends, creating a three
sided box. This component serves as a collection device to drain incidental water to the
exterior of the building and should be properly sealed to the opening. The best sill pan
design has a positive slope to the exterior and offers continuous support to the door’s sill.
Step-down Landing
The interior oor surface is higher than the exterior surface.
Weep Hole (weep channel)
The visible exit or entry part of a water drainage system used to drain water out of a
door.
Glossary
Astragal
The vertical trim attached to one of the panels of a sliding patio door that bridges the
gap between the panels when closed and provides weatherprotection.
Backer Rod (backing material)
A material (e.g. foam rod) placed into a joint primarily to control the depth of the sealant.
