SETTING AND FASTENING
THE DOOR (CONTINUED)
N. Check for sufficient weatherstrip
contact between the bottom
weatherstrip and the threshold.
Close the door on a dollar bill or
sheet of paper located above an
adjustment screw; light friction
should be felt when pulling the
paper out indicating a good seal is
being made. If there is not, adjust
the threshold. Repeat for each
adjustment screw.

Frame Screw Method:
J. Drill 1/8" x 1" deep pilot holes through the clearance holes and into the
rough opening framing in the head, jambs, and threshold of the door frame.
Note: Be certain to shim between jambs and rough opening at
all screw locations.
K. Secure the jambs and head of the door. Drive #10 x 3" corrosion resistant
wood screws through the door frame and shim, into the rough opening.
Drive the screws until snug but DO NOT over-tighten the screws. DO NOT
bend or bow the unit frame. Apply sealant to the screw heads not located at
the hinges or strikes.
Installation Clip Method:
L. Fasten the door to the opening by driving two #8 x 1-1/4" corrosion
resistant screws into the pre-punched holes in the clips. If the clips are bent
and fastened to the interior stud/block, install the screws as close to the
bend as possible.
Note: DO NOT shim above the door. For masonry openings use two
masonry screws a minimum size of 3/16" x 1-1/2" per clip. Pre-drill the
masonry per screw manufacturer’s recommendations.
Frame Screw and Installation Clip Methods:
M. Sidelights of combinations only: Drive # 10 x 3" through each of the holes
in the sill. Apply sealant to the screw heads not located at the hinges or
strikes.
Note: For concrete floors, use masonry screw a minimum size of
3/16" diameter x 3". Predrill the masonry per screw manufacturer’s
recommendations.
