SLIDING GLASS DOOR INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
2. Perimeter anchors should never penetrate a tank or tubular shape at a window sill. Any
penetration of the frame must be visible for sealing purposes.
3. Blocking must be of sufficient size and shape to support the frame at all anchorage
locations. The blocking must prevent the anchorage fasteners from bowing, racking,
twisting, or distorting the window frames and accessories in any manner. Excessive shim
heights could increase the prying tension and/or bending forces on the perimeter fastener.
Refer to the approved shop drawings and/or design professional for project specific
applications.
F. General Sliding Panel Inspection
1. Upon completion of the Sliding Glass Door installation, all operating panels must be
checked for proper alignment and operation. If the sliding panels are removed, care must
be taken to ensure that sliding panels are reinstalled into the same frames they were
removed from. It may be necessary to adjust the rollers and locking hardware to ensure
proper sealing and locking. All hardware must be cleaned as necessary to provide smooth
operation.
