SLIDING GLASS DOOR INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
C. Building Codes
1. Glass and glazing codes governing the design and use of products vary widely. EFCO does
not control the selection of product configurations, operating hardware, or glazing materials;
therefore, we assume no responsibility in these areas. It is the responsibility of the owner,
architect, and the installer to make these selections in strict conformity to all applicable
codes.
D. General Sliding Glass Door Frame Installation
1. The rough opening should be checked for the correct size as determined by tolerances
listed in the architectural specifications and the shop drawings. (FIG. “A”)
2. Establish the face of the Sliding Glass Door line at the head, sill, and jambs. This reference
is to be arrived at by using the architectural plans, general contractor’s reference lines, and
shop drawings.
3. Determine the high point of the masonry sill using string line or transit and shim the balance
of the opening to match. (Fig. “B”)
