7. Once the door is properly shimmed and anchors are fastened per anchorage specified,
apply sealant over the anchor heads. (See Fig. M) After the sealant has been properly
applied and tooled over the anchor heads, apply sealant over the access holes. (See Fig. N)
Sealant over the clear holes can be accomplished by stuffing backer rod or like material into
the clear hole cavity and sealing over.
