INSTALLATION OF STANDARD DOOR FRAME
1. Door frame shall be completely assembled, including threshold; with all joints neatly aligned and tight. Be
sure all hardware is attached that must be installed prior to frame installation. If flat filler pieces used
(recommended), snap them in place.
2. Door frame shall be installed square and plumb (See Figure 1 and 2, below).
3. Level the door frame at the threshold at the high point in the slab. It is preferable to not have a high point
in the slab. The door frame is designed to have the jambs run down to the slab.
4. Frame must be securely anchored in place. Solidly shim at all anchor points so as not to bow or distort
framing.
5. Mark the concrete through the countersunk holes in threshold.
6. Use masonry bit to drill holes to receive inserts (included).
7. Anchor the threshold to the slab using flat head screws (included).
8. Install door stops (at transom frames).
Measure diagonals to check if square. Use 4' level to check if plumb at points A and B.
9. You are now ready to install the door. Proceed to pg. 15 if pre-glazing the door,
or pg.17-24 to install door.
