INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
for Pre-Hung Exterior Entry Doors (JII106)
2
FULLY SHEATHED WALL CONSTRUCTION
The wall framing is
covered by sheathing
and the door will be
mounted with the
exterior trim flush
against the sheathing.
This installation
assumes building wrap
is properly installed
prior to installation.
OPEN-STUD CONSTRUCTION
The wall framing needs to be completely surrounded by backing
support (non water-degradable, thin (max. 1/8" thick) sheet material
such as plywood or lauan) before installing building wrap and the
door. The door will be mounted with the exterior trim flush against the
applied backing support.
This installation guide specifically addresses masonry/block wall,
sheathed wall and open-stud construction.
MASONRY/BLOCK WALL CONSTRUCTION
This installation
assumes that a
building professional
has already properly
fastened and sealed
a framework of studs
(often called a buck)
to the concrete/
masonry wall.
