Snap the fillers [R] into the curb assembly
[A] and header assembly [D] between the door
jambs with the raised lip to the exterior and the
pivot holes toward the pivot jamb. Center the curb
filler in the curb between the pivot and strike
jamb (use masking tape to hold in position).
NOTE: The snap-in fillers should be exactly 3/8"
longer than the door panel glass width.
Pull the bottom end of the pivot jamb [N]
tight to the curb filler [R] and plumb the jamb.
Drill two 1/8" holes thru the pivot jamb and into
the wall jamb [E] 3/8" to 3/4" from the wall and
approximately 1/4" from the ends of the jamb.
Drill a third hole centered between the first two,
then enlarge the three outer holes with a 3/16"
drill for clearance on the self-tapping screws.
Attach the pivot jamb permanently with three #8
x 1/4" truss head screws [C].
Slide the header filler [R] tight against the pivot
jamb. Push the strike jamb [P] tight against the
fillers top and bottom. With the pivot jamb plumb
and both fillers tight between the two door jambs,
the strike jamb also will be plumb and parallel to
the pivot jamb. Attach the strike jamb to the 180°
post [L] in the same manner as the pivot jamb.

NOTE: Obscure glass doors should be in-
stalled with the rough surface of the glass to the
exterior of the unit. Deco or etched glass doors
should be installed with the patterned surface to
the inside.
Glazed door panels [S] with obscure or Deco glass
will have short rails installed with full width vinyl
on both ends. Determine which end will be the
bottom. Using a mallet or a hammer and wood
block (never a hammer alone), carefully drive the
bottom rail [T] over the bottom edge of the glass
and vinyl, snug to the factory installed rail. Both
rails should be set back 1/8" from the pivot edge of
the door and the bottom rail should end 1/8" from
the strike edge. Trim the excess vinyl even with
the ends of the rails.
