IRON DOOR INSTALLATION
Step 7
Check and adjust to ensure the gap between frame and door are consistent; the door should be ush/even with jamb
at the header, particularily on the strike side and the weatherstrip should make good contact around the entire perimeter.

*Note: the above condition must be addressed now, not after the interior trim and exterior trim have been installed. These
adjustments may require that the door be slightly out of plumb, level and square.
MAKING ADJUSTMENTS
Adjustments are possible by moving or prying the frame side to side in the same fashion that a shim would be used. Slight
additional adjustments are possible by applying the methods depicted below.
A. A board placed between the door and jamb move the panel away from the jamb and tilt the panel downward
from right to left. Apply pressure by closing the door against the board, again using an incremental
approach. If the board were placed at the bottom it would tend to move away from the jamb and tilt
the panel upward from right to left. This adjustment can be done from either the exterior, (figure 2) or
interior (figure 3).
B. Shim behind one or more installation flanges or in extreme cases by a combination of shimming one flange
and chiseling a small route in the frameing at an osetting ange.
Once level, plumb and adjusted, pre-drill and
install the additional 3/8” x 3” hex head lag bolts into both top holes in all
flanges to secure into nal position (see gure 1).
