orange securing pins will pop up - two on the upper bolt and one
on the lower bolt. Do not remove pins at this time.
Inactive Door
a. Align the astragal body ush with the end of the inactive door panel, with the wide
side of the astragal correctly oriented based on swing of the door.
For Inswing doors, the wide side of the astragal goes on outside of the door.
For Outswing doors, the wide side of the astragal goes on inside of the door.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN:
• Ensure you have the appropriate length and handing of astragal for your door.
• Remove the trim strip and screw pack from the astragal body and set aside.
• If tape is present on the back of the astragal, peel off the backing.
• Conrm thickness of your door panel. For door panels with thicknesses of
1-11/16", apply the available B-seal gasket to accommodate the gap between the
face of the panel and the astragal.
Instructions apply to both Inswing and Outswing Systems, except as noted.
