6. For continuous
slab, cut across the
folding line.
7. Fold the three back
sides up to make a
3-sided box, and, for
step-down landings,
fold the front flap
down.
INSTALL SILL PAN
1. Set the sill pan
in the rough
opening, aligning
the front edge (for
continuous slab) or
folded down edge
(for step down) with
the exterior of the
rough opening.
2. Mark a line across
the front and back
of the sill pan.
3. Apply three 3/8"
beads of sealant
between the lines.
4. Place the sill pan in
the rough opening.
Firmly press the sill
pan into the sealant
with a J-roller.
A sill pan can be ordered with some products (check with a salesperson),
found in building supply stores or online (search “sill pan”), or
fabricated on the jobsite (details below) with the proper tools and
materials.
JOBSITE FABRICATED SILL PAN
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
distance from the
back of the trim to
the interior edge
of the frame 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 this line on
both sides of the
sheet material.

• Determine prior to
installation what the
actual finish floor
height will be and
adjust the rough
opening if needed
to accommodate a
taller unit height.
Most doors use a
1 3/8" high
threshold which
provides adequate
clearance in most
applications. This
ensures that the
door does not drag
on interior floors
after installation.

INSPECT ROUGH OPENING

C E
Verify Square, Level, and Plumb
• Verify the door is 1" narrower and 3/4"shorter (1/2" each smaller if
code requires) than the rough opening width/height. 90-minute fire
doors should be 1 1/4" narrower and 5/8" shorter.
• Verify the rough opening is square. The (A) and (B) measurements
should be the same. Maximum allowable deviation from square is
1/4".
• Verify the rough opening is level and plumb (C). 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.
