PANEL INSTALLATION (CONTINUED)
Sub-Section - Head Panel Block – Astragal
1. A total of three head panel blocks are needed to support the astragal.
• Position 2 head panel blocks end-to-end on the frame head jamb,
directly above the edge of the active and the inactive (door panel
with the astragal attached) door panels when in the closed and
locked position.
• Apply and center 1 block in the track to the exterior of the two
previously installed head panel blocks. This block should be
centered and support the exterior nose of the astragal.
2. For door units without head panel blocks, move the door into the
closed/locked position. From the exterior, make a pencil mark on
the head of the frame next to the edge of the panel. Open the door
and place the weatherstrip pad 1/2" back from the mark (so the
weatherstrip pad will be hidden when the door is shut).
Sill Track Application
1. Remove the backing and place the 5/16" tall pile (fuzzy) weatherstrip
pad onto the sill track. This should be directly below the weatherstrip
pad installed in the head track. NOTE: Measuring from the side jamb,
a plumb line or a laser can all be used to determine the location of
the lower pad.
2. Pre-drill through each hole in the head blocks. Attach each head
panel block with the appropriate fastener (based on the substrate).
Refer to Product Approval Document.
NOTE: Ensure to shim above the door frame at each panel block
location to avoid frame distortion.
Sub-Section - Weatherstrip Pad Installation
NOTE: Weatherstrip pads will need to be installed into the head and
sill tracks.
• Pads should be positioned above and below where each panel overlaps
another panel.
Head Track Application
1. Remove the backing and place the 1" tall pile (fuzzy) weatherstrip
pad onto the head track. This should be placed on the exterior of the
head panel block and back from the edge approximately 1/2" (from
the initial alignment mark).
