INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

for Pre-Hung Exterior Entry Doors (JII106)

4. If installing a door

with a metal frame
and adjustable
T-Strike, place A
over B and place
in the bore in the
frame. Install screws
but do not tighten.
Close door and
push B inward until
the door slightly
compresses the
weatherstrip. Open
door and tighten
screws.

5. At the sill, pull

the weatherstrip
up slightly and
apply a bead of
sealant (behind the
weatherstrip) at the
intersection of the
jambs, brickmoulds,
thresholds and
floor as shown.
The included foam
wedges are used
to complete the
weatherstrip seal at
each bottom corner
between the jamb and operating slab(s) when closed. Position the
thick edge behind the weatherstrip, remove the backing paper and
adhere to the jamb as shown.

6. Install drip cap if required or desired. Fold the building wrap

(previously taped up) down over the drip cap and seal the cut ends
with self-adhesive flashing or building wrap tape.

7. For metal frames,

apply casing to both
sides. Mark the
locations of the oval
slots in the frame
onto the casing and
secure casing with
fasteners through
the oval slots.
For snap on steel
casing, refer to the
instructions with the
clips.

8. Apply sealant

around the outside
of the door unit
between the siding
and brickmould,
between the
brickmould and the
jamb and between
the jamb sides and
the threshold. Apply
a discontinuous
bead of sealant
(1/2" gap every 1')
along the front side
of the threshold.

3. From the inside of

doors with sidelights

installed on a wood

floor, pre-drill for #8

screws and fill the

holes with sealant.

Drive two #8 x 3"

deck screws through

each door jamb and

sidelight into the

floor in the locations

shown.

4. Some double door

units may require

installing lock

bolts at the top

and bottom of the

inactive panel. Follow

the instructions

that come with the

product if available.

Otherwise, locate the

center point of each
lock bolt, drill 3/8" bolt holes and install keeper plates.

FINISH INSTALLATION

1. Re-check for smooth door operation and even spacing between the

door and jamb. Secure the strike jamb evenly between the first two

already in place with two more 10d casing nails (or #8 x 3" deck
screws) behind the weatherstrip.

Note!

Steps 2 and 3 apply only to units with hinge jamb(s) against the

rough opening.
2. Install two provided

#9 x 2 1/2" wood
screws in the top
hinge through the
two holes closest to
the weatherstrip,
driving them through
the hinge jamb and
into the studs. If
necessary, remove
the screws already in
the hinges to insert
these longer screws.

3. If installing a door

with a metal frame,
on the exterior, slide
the “L” shaped head
piece into the inner
section and center
it in the opening.
Install the jamb
pieces making sure
they are tight against
the head piece and
rough opening.
Secure with fasteners
through the provided
holes.
