I. 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 the door frame.
Note: DO NOT OVER SHIM.
J. Check the interior reveal. Make sure the measurement from the interior face of the door
to the interior face of the wall is equal at several points around the door.
Note: If the dimensions are not equal, check to make sure the fins are folded out to 90°
at all points.
K. Secure the frame. Insert a 1" wide
shim behind the pilot hole at the lock
strike(s). Insert a #8 x 2-1/2" screw
(included in the panel retainer and
screw package) into the pilot hole
making sure it passes through the
shim and into the rough opening.
Note: The weather-strip must be
pushed aside to reveal the pilot

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.
Frame Screw Method: Insert one #8 x 3" screw into
the top anchor hole on each side of the frame.
