Finishing Installation
1. Structurally secure sill as follows:
NOTE:
For wood framing, use #8x3" corrosion resistant screws. For concrete, use
3/16" x 2-1/2" self-tapping concrete screws.
A. Coat threads of screws with sealant before insertion into hole.
B. Drill appropriate pilot holes as necessary.
C. Cover top of screws with sealant.
Da. If door has a traditional threshold, secure as follows (Fig. 29):
• For single panel swing doors, place two structural screws 6" from each end.
• For multiple panel doors, replace the existing screws at each end of the
threshold and every other existing screw in between with structural screws.
Db. Some inswing doors require an adjustable threshold; if adjustable threshold
(Fig. 30):
• For single panel swing doors, place two structural screws 6" from each end.
• For multiple panel doors, place a screw in front of every other screw location
into the sill.
2. Hang the door slab in the frame by screwing the hinges in place on the frame.
Assure proper fit.
3. On the exterior, apply a continuous sealant joint between the frame
and the rough opening at the jambs and header using backer rod
and sealant (Fig. 31).
4. On the interior apply low pressure foam between the outside of jamb and the stud
to seal any gaps (Fig. 32).
NOTE:
Follow manufacturer's instructions for proper low pressure foam usage.
5. Installing hardware:
A. Install the lock set, following manufacturer’s instructions. Use chisel or router to
mortise out for strike plate on jamb or astragal.
B. Install the door sweep onto the bottom of the door. Attach using 1/4" screws on
face of door sweep. Run a bead of caulk on the top exterior outer edge to prevent
water from entering the sweep
(Fig. 33). 6. Installing exterior and interior trim
A. Trim any sealant or shims protruding from the jamb.
B. Measure, cut and set one trim leg. Reveal of the trim to be approximately 3/16"
from inside edge of jamb. Measure both ends of head trim, cut, if necessary,
then set (Fig. 34). Measure, cut and set other trim leg.
IMPORTANT:
Trim is intentionally left long for more flexibility in the field. It may be
necessary to cut to length and miter depending on your application.
C. Anchor the casings to jamb with 1-1/2" or 3" finish nails every 12" to 18".
D. JELD-WEN recommends running a bead of caulk around the edge of the
exterior trim where it meets the wall.
7. Fill all nail holes with a wood matched putty stick.
