SLIDING GLASS DOOR INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
SECTION II: Basic Sliding Glass Door Installation
A. Installation Without Subframe
1. Assemble the Sliding Glass Door frame per the assembly instructions for the appropriate
Sliding Glass Door series.
EFCO Sliding Glass Doors, without a tank at the sill, may be anchored without the use of a
starter sill. This is because sealant can be applied over the head of the anchor. (A tank-
designed sill will not allow this option.) The sliding door sill may be anchored in the exterior
track or the interior track. Locating the anchor in the exterior or interior track would need the
consideration of minimum edge distance, the substrate to which the sills are being
anchored, or anything that would govern the best location for the anchor. (Fig. E & F)
