Installation of Hook Strip
INSTALL FRAME (CONTINUED)
The sill riser is required on some door units to reach a
higher Performance Grade and to resist water. Failure
to install the sill riser may compromise the ability of
the door unit to perform asdesigned.
1. Apply silicone to the underside
of the sill riser. Sealant should be
applied continuously from end
to end.
2. Position the sill riser atop the
innermost wall of the sill.
3. Apply sill riser onto the sill with a
mallet. Make sure the sill riser is
fully locked onto the sill from end
to end.
Sealing of the Door Frame
For Box frame/non-nail n doors, the frame will be sealed to
the nished opening with the use of backer rod and sealant.
1. Surfaces should be dry and cleaned of debris and dust.
2. Apply backer rod between the door frame and the nished opening.
The backer rod should be pushed in far enough to create a joint
depth that is 1/2 deep as wide (e.g. 1/4" deep x 1/2" wide).
3. Depending on the door frame conguration, backer rod should be
applied along the side jamb of the door frame and/or head jamb of
the door frame.
4. A continuous sealant bead (recommend sealant should be color-
matched to exterior of the building) should be applied atop of the
backer rod.
NOTE: The sealant bead should be tooled until smooth and even.
Texture can be added for aesthetic appeal.
For Nail n door frames, it is assumed the nail n will be covered
by some form of decorative trim (e.g. trim board).
1. If the exterior cladding has been cut back to install the door, then self-
adhered ashing should be applied over the nail n to integrate the
n with the weather-resistive barrier of the building.
NOTE: The ashing should be applied in a shiplap manner.
2. If the exterior cladding has not been cut back then an additional layer
of liquid applied membrane, or sealant, can be applied atop of the
nail n (Leave voids along the bottom nailing n that align with the
gaps in the previously applied sealant bead).
Installation of Sill Riser
The hook strip is designed to be placed on the
exterior of the building and serves to engage and
form a weather seal with the last panel out of the
pocket. Sealant should be applied to the back side of
each nail n of the hook strip. Additionally, fasteners
should be placed through both the interior and
exterior nail ns.
1. Dry t the hook strip(s) to ensure a proper t between the interior
most wall of the sill or sill riser and the underside of the head track
(the hook strip should t snug between the underside of the head
track and the top of the sill or sill riser).
2. Remove and apply a continuous 3/8" bead of sealant on the back side
of the hook strip – surfaces A and B.
3. Apply sealant to the top edge of the sill or sill riser that will contact
the hook strip.
4. Position the hook strip on the exterior wall surface of the building.
Make sure there is adequate contact between the sealant and the
wall and the hook strip is plumb within the opening.
5. Pre-drill the fastener locations
on both surfaces (A and B) of
the hook strip (hook strip may
come pre-drilled). Use a 3/16"
– 1/4" drill bit depending on
the size of fastener required to
generate holes in hook strip.
Fastener spacing should be
6" from each end and no
more than 12" on center in
between.
6. Fasten hook strip with the
appropriate type of fastener
(based on the substrate).
Refer to Product Approval
Document. (Double-check
that hook strip is plumb within
opening).
7. Repeat at the opposite end of
the opening for a double
pocket unit.
