Check Your Work: This symbol identies when the work
should be checked for correctness before
continuing with installation.
Step 1: Prepare Rough Opening
Ensurethefollowingconditionsaremet:
• theroughopeningisideally1”widerand1/2”taller
thantheoutsideframedimensionsofthe
doorsystem.
• theROisplumb,squareandlevel.
• theoldframehasbeencompletelyremovedin
retrotinstallation
• theexistingsub-sillisatleast8”deepfor65/8”framesand
atleast83/4”deepfor71/4”frames.
+ Becauseasolid,levelsubsillisabsolutelyessentialfor
properdoorsysteminstallation,donotproceeduntilthe
sub-sillisbothsolidandlevel.
Step 2: Caulk The Sub-Sill
Applythree1/4”linesofcaulk(acryliccaulkisrecommended)along
thelengthofthesub-sill,therstlinestartingapproximately1”from
theinsideedge.Thelinesshouldbeabout1”apart.
Step 3: Remove Packaging Materials
Removeallpackagingmaterialssuchasnails,staplesandscrews.
Makesurethedoorswingsfreelyintheframe.
Step 4: Place Door in Rough Opening
Standontheoutsideofthedoorway.Withthedoorfacingout,tilt
thedoorbacktowardtheoutside.PlacethesillintheROandtiltthe
doorupandintotheopening.
+ Do not leave the door wide open during installation.
The weight of the door may cause it to fall and cause injury.
Step 5: Shim and Fasten
Standontheinsideofthedoorandcenterthedoorintheopening.
Shimtightlyatthebottomcornersofthedoorunit.Thiswillkeepthe
doorcenteredandtheframetightagainstthesill.Shimthetopofthe
dooronthelatchside.Installshimsuntilthereisaconsistent1/8”
gapbetweenthetopofthedoorslabandheframeheader.
Shimthehingesideoftheframe.Thiswillholdthedoortightinit’s
positionrelativetotheframe.Thedoorshouldoperatefreelywith
nothingbutshimsholdingitinplace.
Step 6: Install Deadbolt and Strike Plates
Installthedeadboltstrikeplateintheproperlocation,dependingon
doorstyle.Iftheplatesarebeinginstalledonanexteriorjamb,use
3”screws.Iftheplatesarebeinginstalledonamullionorsidelite,
use13/8”screws.
Step 7: Insulate
Scoretheshimswithautilityknifeandthensnapthemoffwhere
scored.Trimanyexcess.Insulatearoundthetopandsideofthedoor
unitinthecavitybetweentheframeandthewallstuds.Useeithera
lowexpansionfoamorbreglassinsulation.
+ Important point: the use of foam that does not have low
expansion may cause the door frame to warp; this may
render the door inoperable.
Step 8: Caulk Doorway
Caulkallfourcornersandallaroundthebrickorsidinginthefollowing
order:
• Caulkthetopcornerwheretheheaderandsillmeet,starting
attheweatherstrippingandworkingtothefaceofthemolding.
• Caulktheperimeter.
Ifthedooriscenter-hingedorhasasidelite,caulkaroundthemullions
wheretheycontactthesillandheader.
Step 9: Adjust The Sill or Sweep
MostofourdoorunitsaresuppliedwithaU-channeladjustablesweep
andthesemayberaisedorloweredtoformatightsealwiththexed
sill.Lowerorraiseaccordingtodesiredtandifneededxinplace
withascrew(notsupplied).
Step 10: Install The Latch and Deadbolt
Followingthemanufacturersinstallationguideforthehandleyou
purchasedinstallthelatchanddeadbolt.
Fromtheoutsideandwiththedoorclosed,ensurethatthe
frameisinastraightverticalplane(nottwisted).Todothis,check
thattheweatherstrippingonthelatchsideisevenlycompressed
alongtheentireheightofthedoorslabwithoutanypinchingorgaps.
Whentheshimsareproperlyinstalled,theframeshouldnot
moveortwistatallwhenthescrewsaretightenedandcounter-sunk,
therebymaintainingthe1/8”gap.Ifthereisanymovement,loosen
thescrewsandshimtightertomaintainthe1/8”gap,thenre-tighten
thescrews.
Removethetopscrewfromeachhinge.Withthedoorclosedandfromthe
insideshimdirectlybehindthevacanthingescrewholeineachhinge,until
thereisaconsistent1/8”gapbetweenthehinge-sidejambandthedoorslab
