INSTALL DOOR

PREPARE FRAME

If holes are not pre-drilled in the frame components, pre-drill side jamb

holes behind the weatherstrip 4" from the corners and then every 16"

on center. Pre-drill the head and sill tracks 4" from the corners and

every 8" for the span of pivot panel(s). Remaining holes should be 16"

on center for the entire track span. If installing on a concrete floor,

prepare the sill track per manufacture's instructions based on chosen

fastener.

ASSEMBLE FRAME

1. On a clean and flat surface, carefully position head, jambs and sill

with the interior

facing down.

2. Run a bead of

sealant on all

surfaces of both

ends of the sill as

shown. Remove

backing paper from

gaskets applied

to jambs. Repeat

application for the

head where the

ends will contact

the jambs.

3. Clamp the frame

corners as needed

to ensure that the

frame sections fit together flush and secure through the pre-drilled

holes in the jambs with the provided #10 x 2 1/2" flat head screws.

INSTALL FRAME

Warning!

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

1. If the door includes

a center pivot

(additional hinge

provided on certain

doors to be installed

mid way on a jamb

with a pivot panel),

remove center pivot

housing from the

frame if installed.

Set aside for re-

installation later.

2. If installing a job site

fabricated sill pan,

run a continuous 3/8"

bead of sealant along

the sill pan back dam.

When the frame is

installed, make sure

the frame makes

solid contact with the

sealant. Add more

sealant if necessary.

3. Tilt the frame into the

rough opening. Install

a temporary fastener

to adequately support

frame until fully installed.

Sill

Jamb

SHIM THE JAMBS
Note!

Secure all shims

with sealant if necessary.
1. From the interior, shim

the side jambs at each

pre-drilled hole or

at maximum 16" on

center. Shim head track

next to pre-drilled

holes. Shim units with

strike plate(s) so that

strike plate screws

(installed later) will

each penetrate a shim.

2. Inspect the frame for

square, level, and

plumb (remove and

reinstall if necessary).

FASTEN FRAME

1. To secure the head,

fasten through each

pre-drilled hole using

#10 x 2 1/2" flat head

screws. Fasteners

should not go

through shims, but

next to shims. Move

shims accordingly to

be next to fastener

holes.

2. To secure the sill, put

a generous amount

of silicone sealant

in each pre-drilled

hole and drive a

#10 x 2 1/2" flat

head screw (wood

floors only, for concrete floors, see the Needed Materials section for

masonry fasteners) through each hole.

3. Secure the side jambs through each pre-drilled hole using #10 x 2 1/2"

flat head screws.

4. Once the frame is completely fastened, remove head shims.
5. If the door includes

a center pivot: Using

a 3/4" spade bit, drill

a hole through the

center pivot housing

hole in to the rough

opening deep enough

to allow the housing

to fit flush against

the jamb. Install the

housing in the frame

with two provided

screws.

6. Remove plastic

protective sill cover.

Set aside and save for

future use if desired.
