INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

for Wood Patio Doors with Exterior Trim or Nailing Fin (JII026)

SECURE PATIO DOOR

Note!

Fastener heads must be flush. Do not dent nailing fin. Always

use pre-punched holes or pre-drill with a 3/16" bit.
1. Fasten patio door

through nailing fin
holes, or through
exterior trim 3"-7"
from the corners
and 8" apart all the
way around the
patio door.

2. Fasten strike plates

to the structural
rough opening
jamb with 3" screws
through the open
holes in the strike
plate, then replace
the existing strike
plate screws. Does
not apply to post
or astragal latched
doors.

STEPS 3 and 4 are for
swinging doors only
3. Unlock the deadbolt

with a small
flathead screwdriver
and open doors.

4. Remove the spacer button from the bottom of the panels, or pine

blocks from under aluminum sill.

5. On the interior, structurally secure side and head jambs by driving

one screw through each of the remaining shims.

STRUCTURALLY SECURE SILL

Note!

Applies to swinging doors and sliding doors with pre-drilled holes

on the lower interior edge of the fiberglass sill only. Apply sealant to the

threads of all screws, and, after installation, cover the tops of all screws

with sealant. Use previously removed screws (if present) for wood
subfloors or use 3/16" x 2 1/2" self-tapping concrete screws for concrete.
1. For traditional

thresholds, drive

screws through the

threshold 6" from

each end of each

panel. For adjustable

thresholds, drive

screws through the

aluminum sill in front

of every other screw
in the threshold.

2. For outswing patio

doors, replace the
screws on the sill
keeper with the #8
x 2 1/4" pan head
screws provided.

3. For sliding doors

with a pre-drilled

fiberglass sill, start at

the middle and work

outward, driving the

provided #8 x 1.5"
pan head screws at 12" maximum intervals and at both ends.

Warning!

To avoid injury, use at least two people to install. Adequately

support the door until fully installed.
1. Apply a 3/8"

continuous bead
of sealant across
the sill pan back
dam and over the
flashing joints as
shown.

2. Tilt patio door into

the rough opening.
Make sure the back
of the door makes
solid contact with
the sealant.

3. Fasten patio

door with the
appropriate nail for
nail fin or exterior
trim between 3"
and 4" from one
lower corner.

SHIM THE JAMBS

Note!

Each location should be shimmed with two opposing shims.

Secure all shims with sealant.
4. From the interior,

shim the hinged
side jamb at every
hinge (swinging
doors). Shim the
latch jamb 6" from
the corners and at
the strike plate.

5. Shim all other jambs

6" from the corners
and at center.

6. Shim the head jamb

6" from the corners
of each panel and
at the strike plate
if present. Position
shims so that strike plate/head bracket screws will penetrate shims.

7. Inspect the patio door for square, level, and plumb. Test for proper

operation (remove and reinstall if necessary).

8. For center hinge

patio doors only,
check for proper
reveal (clearance)
between the frame
and panels at the
side jambs and head
as shown.
