Remove Packaging
Remove shipping materials such as corner covers, shipping blocks

Inspect Door
• When doors are received they must be inspected immediately for
quality, including correct size, machining, color, design, cosmetic
damage, specie of veneer and nish, if factory nished.
• Product squareness (diagonal measurements must be within
1/4" difference).
• Correct product (size, color, grid pattern, handing, glazing, energy-
efciency requirements, etc.).
• Correct Handing. To determine door swing (left or right), face the door
from the side where hinges cannot be seen. Right handed doors open
to the right, while left handed doors open to the left.
If any of the above conditions represent a concern, do not install
the door. Contact your dealer or distributor for recommendations.
• Verify the width and
height of the door frame
are each 1/2" smaller
than the rough opening
width/height.
• Verify the rough opening
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 rough opening
sill must not be crowned or sagged (D), but rather be level or sloped
(positive slope) to the exterior.
• The exterior face of the rough opening must be in a single plane (E)
with less than 1/8" twist from corner to corner.
• Minimum double studs should be used at all rough openings.
• The header must be supported by trimmer studs.
• Do not install the door unless the rough opening meets the above
conditions. Professional assistance may be necessary to correct problems
before installation.
IMPORTANT! The door should be nished either before installation
or immediately after (whichever is more convenient).
NOTE: If removing the slab from the frame for nishing, remove
hinges from the jamb only, do not remove hinges from the slab.
For Retrot Installations
For retrot installations remove the old door and contact your local
waste management entities for proper disposal or recycling of products
beingremoved.
