Installation Guide

STEP 1 – POSITIONING DOOR UNIT
ON WORK SURFACE & REMOVING
BRICKMOLD (IF NEEDED)
Lay the door system flat with the side to be
extended up on a padded sawhorses or other
protective surface to avoid scratching the door.
For Inswing units that have brickmold attached
carefully remove the brickmold by tapping on
the back side of the brickmold with a hammer.
Begin at the bottom of the unit and work your
way around the frame. Exercise care when
removing brick mold as you will reinstall after
the frame is extended. After brickmold is
removed carefully remove any nails/staples
from the frame and the brickmold.

STEP 2 – PREPARING EXTENDER
COMPONENTS FOR MOUNTING
All cuts to be straight. Please use square to
mark cut lines. Measure the length of the side
jambs and aluminum sill. The kit is designed
to work with a full size inswing 36" x 80" door
For out swing and shorter doors the side jamb
extenders will need to be cut to the same
length as the side jambs.
IMPORTANT: The side jamb extenders are
handed. The bottom of the jamb extender will
have a bevel. If a cut is required remove material
from the top of the extender. The aluminum sill
extender is sized for a 36" wide door, narrower
units will need to have the extender cut to the
same size of the sill.
30" door 30"
32" door 32"
34" door 34"
STEP 3 – INSTALLING SILL EXTENDER
With the sill extender cut to the proper length,
attach the extender to the Threshold that is
on the door system. The extender is design so
it can be snapped on from the front as shown
(Figure B) or slide on from one end (some sills
are even with the frame so the slide on feature
will not be available).

STEP 4 – INSTALLING SIDE EXTENDERS
IMPORTANT: There is a left and right side
jamb extender. Make sure the beveled notch
is placed next to the aluminum extender. With
the extender flush with the bottom of the door
frame and flush with the inside edge of the
frame, attach the extender to the door frame
with 4 #8 x 1-5/8" screws through the predrilled
holes in Figure C. Repeat process for other side
jamb extender.

STEP 5 – ATTACHING HEAD EXTENDER
Measure the inside distance between the side
extenders at the top of the unit. If needed
cut the head extender to fit between the side
extenders. Attach with 3 screws.
