Snap the fillers [P] into the curb assembly
[A] and header assembly [D] between the door
jambs with the raised lip to the exterior and the
pivot holes toward the pivot jamb. Center the curb
filler in the curb between the pivot and strike jamb
(use masking tape to hold in position).
NOTE: The snap-in fillers should be exactly 3/8"
longer than the door panel glass width.
Pull the bottom end of the pivot jamb [M] tight
to the curb filler [P] and plumb the jamb. Drill two 1/
8" holes thru the pivot jamb and into the 135° post [K]
in line with the screws in the head and curb and
approximately 1/4" from the ends of the jamb Drill a
third hole centered between the first two, then enlarge
the three outer holes with a 3/16" drill for clearance on
the self-tapping screws. Attach the pivot jamb perma-
nently with three #8 x 1/4" truss head screws [C].
Slide the header filler [P] tight against the pivot jamb.
Push the strike jamb [N] tight against the fillers top
and bottom. With the pivot jamb plumb and both fillers
tight between the two door jambs, the strike jamb also
will be plumb and parallel to the pivot jamb. Attach the
strike jamb to the other 135° post [K] in the same
manner as the pivot jamb.

NOTE: Obscure glass doors should be in-
stalled with the rough surface of the glass to the
exterior of the unit. Deco or etched glass doors
should be installed with the patterned surface to
the inside.
Glazed door panels [R] with obscure or Deco glass
will have short rails installed with full width vinyl
on both ends. Determine which end will be the
bottom. Using a mallet or a hammer and wood
block (never a hammer alone), carefully drive the
bottom rail [S] over the bottom edge of the glass
and vinyl, snug to the factory installed rail. Both
rails should be set back 1/8" from the pivot edge of
the door and the bottom rail should end 1/8" from
the strike edge. Trim the excess vinyl even with
the ends of the rails.
