5XP SLIDING GLASS DOOR INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
3. Drive in the continuous arrow shim (WNA3) between the door frame and the subhead on the
interior. (See Fig. K) Sealant that is required over the arrow shim will be addressed later in
these instructions.
4. Anchorage of the jambs will require a tight hole and a clear hole. The clear hole will need to
be sized according to the size of the driver and the anchor being used. (See Fig. L)
5. Install blocking and shimming around the Sliding Glass Door frame, at anchor locations,
assuring that the door framing is Plumb, Level, and Square. All blocking and shims will be
high strength plastic or non-corrosive materials; Not by EFCO. (See Fig. L)
6. Anchorage holes for the jambs may be drilled prior to setting the door frame in the
opening. Note: Either the exterior or interior track of the jamb may be anchored. Preferably,
anchor the side of the jamb that will be hidden by the fixed panel or the operable panel when
closed. Ensure that fastener edge distances as specified by the structural engineer are
considered when selecting which jamb track to fasten. See Section I. D., Perimeter Anchor
Considerations. (See Fig. L)
