FOR RETROFIT INSTALLATIONS
Remove the old door. Remove sufficient siding to expose at least 9"
of intact building wrap. If damaged, apply new building wrap in a
shiplap manner. Verify header and trimmer studs are structurally sound.
Continue with instructions.
PREPARE BUILDING WRAP

not void the building
wrap manufacturer’s
warranty.

flush with the
edges of the rough
opening.
2. At the head, slit
building wrap 6"
at 45°. Tape up as
shown.

adhesive/primer
to the sill pan
and surrounding

JelD-WeN self-
adhesive flashing
the length of the
sill and apply over
the sill pan as shown. The bottom of the sill pan should be completely

INSTAll DOOR
Warning! To avoid injury, use at least two people to install. Adequately
support the door until completely fastened.
1. Apply a 3/8" bead of sealant where the back of the trim meets the
frame. Tool into a fillet shape. Run another bead of sealant along the
back of the fin/trim where it will contact the structure.
2. Tilt the door into
the rough opening,
making sure the
inside of the door sill
is fully seated into
the sealant on the sill
pan back dam.
3. Secure the door in
the rough opening
by pre-drilling holes
and then driving #8
x 3" drywall/deck
screws into the thick
part of the jamb
where shown. Do not
fully seat screws.
ShIM PATIO DOOR
Note! Secure all shims
with sealant.
From the interior, shim
the head and side jambs
6" from the corners and
at 8" intervals. Install
shims at the strike
plate and at each hinge
location so the screws
(installed later) will
each penetrate a shim.
If installing a door with
a hinge jamb in the
middle, shim underneath
the mull for support.
Shim so the door is
square, level and plumb.
Verify there is a 1/8" margin between the frame and the door panels.
