MAKE FINAL ADJUSTMENTS - IF NECESSARY
1. Doors are adjusted at the factory, but may need additional adjusting
after assembly at the job site. Slide doors into the closed position
and push the flush bolt handles down to secure. Check for an
approximate 3/16" gap between the panels and the head track
and an approximate 3/8" gap between the panels and the sill track
and proper lock
function.
2. Top and bottom
pivots adjust
horizontally
using a #3 Phillips
head screwdriver.
Clockwise
rotations will
move panel away
from the jamb;
counterclockwise
moves the panel
toward the jamb.
Close panel and
adjust until equal
spacing exists
between the panels
and jambs. Check
to ensure the lock
functions properly.
If the panels are too
far apart for the
lock to function,
adjust both ends
equally toward the
center until the lock
functions normally.
3. Bottom pivot blocks
and carrier sets
adjust vertically.
Insert a flat head
screwdriver into
the slot to release
the spring and turn the collar with an 14 mm open ended wrench.
One rotation will provide approximately 1/16" adjustment. Right will
raise and left will lower the panel. Adjust as necessary to achieve a
consistent reveal across the opening.
4. If the configuration has the passage door meeting with a strike door,
make sure the doors are aligned along the full height of the door
when closed. If the doors are not aligned, the hinges may have to be
adjusted vertically.
5. Open and close the door system to check for smooth operation.

FINISH INSTALLATION
1. If the door unit has a strike jamb against a rough opening jamb, drive
#10 x 2 1/2" screws through the screw holes in the strike plate. Replace
existing screws if necessary. This will secure the door frame to the structure.
2. Some clad products are shipped with separate astragal covers. If
these are not already installed, wipe the panel area with denatured
alcohol, let dry, remove the backing tape and adhere into place.
3. Press the sill track
seal into place in
the exterior groove
as shown.
4. On the interior side
jambs and head,
create a continuous
air seal between
the rough opening
and the door frame
with backer rod
and sealant or low
expansion foam.
5. On the exterior side
jambs and head,
seal between the
rough opening and
the door frame
with backer rod and
sealant.
6. Install drip cap if
required or desired.
Fold the building wrap (previously taped up) down over the drip cap
and seal the cut ends with self-adhesive flashing or building wrap
tape.
AFTER INSTALLATION
1. Maintain gap of 1/4"- 3/8" between door frame and final exterior
wall surface (siding, stucco, etc.).
2. Seal this gap on the sides with backer rod and sealant. Do not apply
sealant on top of the drip cap if present.
3. Protect recently installed units from damage from plaster, paint, etc.
by covering the unit with plastic.
4. Protect the sill with the protective sill cover until all construction
activities are complete. Resize the cover to fit between opened panels
as necessary.
5. Remove labels or other materials adhered to glass within 30 days
after installation.
