DOORS DOOR INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Required Tools and Materials • Level (for sub-sill only) • Shims • Hammer • Drill • #2 Flat and Philips Screw Driver • Low-expansion foam (or fiberglass) insulation + Important Point: Although all steps are critical, this symbol identifies procedures requiring extra attention.

C When the shims are properly installed, the frame should not move or twist at all when the screws are tightened and counter-sunk thereby maintaining the 1/8”gap. If there is any movement, loosen the screws and shim tighter to maintain the 1/8”gap, and then re-tighten the screws. STEP 7: INSULATE Score the shims with a utility knife and then snap where scored. Trim any excess. Insulate around the top and the side of the door unit in the cavity between the frame and the wall studs.
