PREPARATION OF FRAME
All hardware back-up plates are installed in the frame at the factory. All sash materials will have been cut to
length and prepped in the factory.
If the doors and frames are from our stock, the transom frames are fabricated for a vertical frame size of 125
1/2". If your opening is smaller, cut the verticals and sash down to the appropriate length; leaving a minimum 1/4"
joint at head. The prep for the transom head horizontal should be made using; either: our jig, EZ-Punch,
or a small cut-off of the head material.
Attach frame portion of pivots to the frame.
Attach closer clips (if concealed overhead closer) and/or shear blocks to jambs.
Cut and notch threshold as required for hardware.
Assemble frame, including threshold. For frames with transoms, sash members must slide into jambs and
transom bar during assembly on FG3000. Parts will not snap due to tolerance restrictions.
The frame is now ready for installation.
