Finishing Installation
8. JELD-WEN has included a set of 1-3/4" by 1-1/4" compression
weatherstrip wedges. Install these at lower rabbeted corners of the
jambs to help ensure a weathertight seal (Fig. 35).
9. Optional Transom Installation
A. Run a generous bead of caulk on the top of the door head jamb.
B. Set the transom jamb on the door head jamb.
C. Drill countersunk pilot holes 12" from both ends and in the center
of the rabbeted portion of the bottom transom jamb into the door
head jamb.
IMPORTANT:
Stop the drill at 1-1/4" depth.
D. Fasten transom jamb to head jamb with 1-1/4" screws into pilot
holes (Fig. 36).
E. Shim transom jamb approximately every 16" to 24".
F. Drill countersunk pilot holes on the rabbeted portion of the transom
jamb through the location of every shim (Fig. 37). Fasten the
transom jamb to the studs through these pilot holes with 3"
corrosion resistant screws.
G. To secure the jamb to the studs at every shim, drive two 3" finish
nails through the face of the jamb into the stud (Fig. 38).
NOTE:
Steps 8-11 only apply if the transom sash was not factory
installed.

ransom jamb (Fig. 39).

Fasten trim to frame with either 1-1/2" or 3" finish nails.
