Pull the bottom end of the hinge jamb [J] tight to
the curb filler [N] and plumb the jamb. Drill two 1/8"
holes thru the hinge jamb and into the wall jamb 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 door panel permanently with three #8 x 1/4"
truss head screws [L].
Slide the header filler [N] tight against the hinge jamb.
Push the strike jamb [M] tight against the fillers top and
bottom. With the door panel [J] plumb and both fillers
[N] tight between the two door jambs, the strike jamb
[M] also will be plumb and parallel to the door panel.
Attach the strike jamb in the same manner as the hinge
jamb.

Cut the drip rail [P] to the length of the bottom rail
minus 11/16". Clean the bottom door rail and the drip
rail throughly to ensure proper adhesion. Unroll the
double stick tanp [U] and carefully apply it to the back
of the drip rail (do not peel the tape backing yet).
Insert the tapered drip vinyl [S] into the drip rail.
Position the drip rail flush with the bottom and pivot
side of the door panel [J], then raise the strike side until
the bottom edge of the drip vinyl is parallel to the curb
filler [N]. Mark the location of each end of the drip rail.
NOTE: Cleaners with alcohol content can dissolve
the adhesive that attaches the drip rail. To prevent
this possibility, place a small bead of clear sealant at
the top of the drip rail where it is attached to the
bottom rail.
Adjust the drip vinyl [S] by sliding it left or right
until it just touches the curb filler [N]. Trim the vinyl
(flush with the pivot end and notch 1/4" longer than the
drip rail as shown on the strike end). Secure it with one
#6 x 3/8" truss head screw [T] in the pivot end of the drip
rail.
The drip plug [R] is supplied with a left and right hand
plug together. Break the right and left drip plugs apart
and insert the appropriate plug into the high (strike) side
of the drip rail. Discard the unused drip plug. Peel off the
tape backing and carefully press the drip rail [P] to the
door in the marked position.
