Cut four pieces of the smaller vinyl [
EE
] 1"
longer than the vertical opening (to prevent
gapping from shrinkage) and trim the ends on a
45° angle. Using the masking tape guides, center
the glass panel [ F] in the frame. Cut four short (1"
- 2") pieces of the small vinyl and press into both
jambs on each side to hold the glass temporarily.
Take one of the long pieces of vinyl, and starting
on the outside exterior jamb, press each end into
the frame and work toward the middle. Be careful
not to stretch the vinyl. Install the other three
pieces in a similar fashion.

Attach the interior door handle [ BB] and
the exterior door handle [ CC] to the door panel [ L]
with two #6-32 x 1 1/4" round head screws [
DD
].
Close the door and check the clearance with the
strike jamb [ N]. If necessary, loosen the set
screws [ W] on the top and bottom slide bars and
adjust the door panel to align the strike magnets.
When the door panel is properly aligned, tighten
the set screws securely.
Inspect the pieces of black glazing vinyl,
and note the two different profiles. The smaller
shape [ EE] is installed vertically and the larger
shape [ FF] is installed horizontally. For structural
strength and maximum water resistance, these
vinyls are designed to fit tightly between the glass
and framing. To speed installation, use glass
cleaner for lubrication and a small block of wood to
press the vinyl into place.
