REMOVE PACKAGING AND INSPECT PATIO DOOR

INSPECT ROUGH OPENING

REMOVE PACKAGING

Remove shipping materials such as corner covers, shipping blocks or
pads. Remove any temporary handles just prior to installation into the
rough opening.

INSPECT PATIO DOOR

• Cosmetic damage
• Product squareness (diagonal measurements must be within 1/4"

difference)

• Verify the width and

height of the patio
door are each
1/2"- 3/4" smaller
than the rough
opening width/
height. Mulled
units should be 3/4"
smaller.

• Verify the rough

opening is square.
The (A) and (B)
measurements
should be the same.
Maximum allowable
deviation from square
is 1/4".

• Correct product (size, color, grid pattern, handing, glazing, energy-

efficiency requirements, etc.)

• For side-by-side mulled units, a drip cap that extends the length of the

frame plus 1/8" overhang on each end is required.

If any of the above conditions represent a concern, or if you expect
environmental conditions to exceed the patio door's performance
rating, do not install the patio door. Contact your dealer or distributor
for recommendations.

Verify Square, Level, & Plumb

• Verify the rough opening is level and plumb (C) and (D). The

maximum allowable deviation is 1/8".

• The rough opening sill must not be crowned or sagged (D). A 5

degree

sloped sill is recommended.

• The exterior face of the rough opening must be in a single plane (E)

with less than 1/8" twist from corner to corner.

• Minimum double studs should be used at all wood framed rough

openings.

• The header must be supported by trimmer studs.

1. Cut a piece of sheet

material to the
length shown.

2. Lightly crease folding

lines 1/2" in from the
two short sides and
one long side.

3. Measure the width of

the frame from the
interior to the nailing
fin slot and add
9/16".

4. Take this distance

from the back edge
and lightly crease a
folding line across
the sheet material.

5. For step-down

landings, cut 1/2" in
at the folding line
on both sides of the
sheet material.
