Note: Do not adjust the hinge with the top and bottom screws loose; this could force the

hinge to adjust beyond its design capability which can cause the hinge to bind, damage

the hinge and/or pull out the screws. A ¾ turn of the center screw provides approximately

5/32" adjustment.

P. Doors with a lock strike in the side (jamb) and without a sidelight on the lock side:

Drill an 1/8" diameter x 2" deep pilot hole into the rough opening through the pre-drilled

holes located in the frame as follows:

P1. Door Frame Corner:

Drill pilot holes through the pre-drilled hole located in the upper frame corner on the lock

jamb side, approximately 8" from the top of the door frame head.

P2. Doors with Multi-point Lock:

Drill through the one pre-drilled hole located in each lock strike. (Pull back frame

weatherstrip to locate open hole in strike).

P3. Center Latch and Deadbolt Lock:

Drill through the mounting hole locations. Insert a # 8 x 3" screw into the pilot holes

making sure it passes through the shim and into the rough opening.
Note: This step does not apply to center latching double doors.

INTEGRATING THE DOOR TO THE WATER

RESISTIVE BARRIER:

A. Apply side flashing tape. Cut two pieces of

flashing tape 4" longer than the frame height of

the door. Apply one piece 1/2" onto the frame

cladding, over the nailing fin and onto the water

resistive barrier on each side. The tape should

extend 2" above the top of the door and 2" below

the bottom of the door. Press the tape down firmly

while folding down the excess tape at the top and

bottom of the door.

Exterior

Note: The flashing tape must be applied approximately

1/2" onto the frame cladding at the jambs and head.

Pre-folding the tape at 1/2" before removing the paper

backing will make it easier to apply the tape correctly. If

the siding is less than 1/2" thick, adjust the dimension of

the fold so the exterior sealant line will cover the exterior

edge of the tape.
