B. Insert the door from the exterior of the building.

DO NOT slide the bottom of the door into the
opening.
Sliding will damage the sealant lines. Place
the bottom of the door at the bottom of the
opening, then tilt the top into position.
Center the door between the sides of
the opening to allow equal clearance for
shimming, and insert one roofing nail
in the first hole from the corner on each
end of the top nailing fin (see inset).
These are used to hold the door in place
while shimming it plumb and square.

#

C. Plumb and square door. Insert shims, as necessary,

between the door and the sides of the rough
opening starting up 6" from the bottom of the door.
Keep shims back 1/2" from interior face of window.

Note: DO NOT shim above the door. DO NOT
OVER SHIM.
