PREPARE FRAME
If holes are not pre-drilled in the frame components, pre-drill side jamb
holes behind the weatherstrip 4" from the corners and then every 16"
on center. Pre-drill the head and sill tracks 4" from the corners and
every 8" for the span of pivot panel(s). Remaining holes should be 16"
on center for the entire track span. If installing on a concrete floor,
prepare the sill track per manufacture's instructions based on chosen
fastener.
ASSEMBLE FRAME
1. On a clean and flat surface, carefully position head, jambs and sill
with the interior
facing down.
2. Run a bead of
sealant on all
surfaces of both
ends of the sill as
shown. Remove
backing paper from
gaskets applied
to jambs. Repeat
application for the
head where the
ends will contact
the jambs.
3. Clamp the frame
corners as needed
to ensure that the
frame sections fit together flush and secure through the pre-drilled
holes in the jambs with the provided #10 x 2 1/2" flat head screws.
INSTALL FRAME
Warning! To avoid injury, use at least two people to install.
1. If the door includes
a center pivot
(additional hinge
provided on certain
doors to be installed
mid way on a jamb
with a pivot panel),
remove center pivot
housing from the
frame if installed.
Set aside for re-
installation later.
2. If installing a job site
fabricated sill pan,
run a continuous 3/8"
bead of sealant along
the sill pan back dam.
When the frame is
installed, make sure
the frame makes
solid contact with the
sealant. Add more
sealant if necessary.
3. Tilt the frame into the
rough opening. Install
a temporary fastener
to adequately support
frame until fully installed.

Jamb
SHIM THE JAMBS
Note!
Secure all shims
with sealant if necessary.
1. From the interior, shim
the side jambs at each
pre-drilled hole or
at maximum 16" on
center. Shim head track
next to pre-drilled
holes. Shim units with
strike plate(s) so that
strike plate screws
(installed later) will
each penetrate a shim.
2. Inspect the frame for
square, level, and
plumb (remove and
reinstall if necessary).
FASTEN FRAME
1. To secure the head,
fasten through each
pre-drilled hole using
#10 x 2 1/2" flat head
screws. Fasteners
should not go
through shims, but
next to shims. Move
shims accordingly to
be next to fastener
holes.
2. To secure the sill, put
a generous amount
of silicone sealant
in each pre-drilled
hole and drive a
#10 x 2 1/2" flat
head screw (wood
floors only, for concrete floors, see the Needed Materials section for
masonry fasteners) through each hole.
3. Secure the side jambs through each pre-drilled hole using #10 x 2 1/2"
flat head screws.
4. Once the frame is completely fastened, remove head shims.
5. If the door includes
a center pivot: Using
a 3/4" spade bit, drill
a hole through the
center pivot housing
hole in to the rough
opening deep enough
to allow the housing
to fit flush against
the jamb. Install the
housing in the frame
with two provided
screws.
6. Remove plastic
protective sill cover.
Set aside and save for
future use if desired.
