Attach Jamb to Studs
1. Temporarily fasten jamb to studs:
A. SYSTEMS 1, 2 & 3 - Fasten using 3" screw through top and bottom pre-drilled anchor
holes behind weatherstrip (Fig. 24).
B. SYSTEM 4 - Tightly installed shims should be enough to hold unit.
C. SYSTEM 5 - Fasten by partially driving one 3" finish nail through both the top and
bottom shim of the sidelight jamb legs (Fig. 25).
2. Attaching jamb to studs
NOTE:
Apply lubricant (wax or bar soap) to screw threads before driving screws.
A. SYSTEMS 1 & 2:
• Fasten jamb leg to stud by using 3" corrosion resistant screws through both top and
bottom pre-drilled anchor holes behind weatherstripping on hinge side jamb, drive
two 2" brass finish screws into stud through hinge (Fig. 26). If applicable, drive
3" corrosion resistant screws through the jamb at strike plate location. Fasten head
jamb by driving 3" screw through pre-drilled anchor holes behind weatherstrip.
• Check unit for square, plumb and even door reveal.
• If necessary, drill and countersink holes behind weatherstrip then fasten with 3"
corrosion resistant screws at additional locations on jamb legs.
• At approximately the same level as the anchor screws and hinges, drive two 3"
finish nails through face of jamb into stud to help secure jamb (Fig. 27).
NOTE:
Screws and nails must go through the shims.
B. SYSTEMS 4 & 5:
• Anchor jamb legs by driving a minimum of two 3" finish nails through the exterior
face of the jamb into the stud at both 2" and 30" from the top and bottom of the
unit (Fig. 28). Refer to Fig. 22 for nailing locations. Additional anchoring locations
may be necessary depending on size of the unit.
• Anchor head jamb by driving two 3" finish nails through the face of the jamb
into the stud at the center of each door and sidelight at the shim locations.
IMPORTANT:
Nails must go through the shims.
