proper handing of the door.
NOTE: The magnetic strip on the strike jamb
must face the exterior and the door panel must
open outward.

Pull the bottom end of the hinge jamb tight to
the curb filler [*C] and plumb the jamb. Drill two
1/8" holes thru the hinge jamb and into the wall
jamb (or post) 3/8" to 3/4" from the wall and
approximately 1/4" vertically from the ends of the
jamb. Drill a third hole centered between the first
two and enlarge the outer holes with a 3/16" drill
for clearance on the self-tapping screws. Attach
the hinge jamb/door panel permanently with three
#8 x 1/4" truss head screws [*D].
Slide the header filler [*C] tight against the hinge
jamb. Push the strike jamb [*B] tight against the
fillers top and bottom. With the hinge jamb plumb
and both fillers tight between the two door jambs,
the strike jamb also will be plumb and parallel to
the hinge jamb. Attach the strike jamb in the
same manner as the hinge jamb.

Snap both fillers [*C] into the curb and header
between the hinge and strike jambs with the
raised lips to the exterior. Center the curb filler
between the hinge and strike jamb (use masking
tape to hold in position).
NOTE: The snap-in fillers should be exactly 5/16"
longer than the door panel width.
