INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
for Pre-Hung Exterior Entry Doors (JII106)
7
4. If installing a door
with a metal frame
and adjustable
T-Strike, place A
over B and place
in the bore in the
frame. Install screws
but do not tighten.
Close door and
push B inward until
the door slightly
compresses the
weatherstrip. Open
door and tighten
screws.
5. At the sill, pull
the weatherstrip
up slightly and
apply a bead of
sealant (behind the
weatherstrip) at the
intersection of the
jambs, brickmoulds,
thresholds and
floor as shown.
The included foam
wedges are used
to complete the
weatherstrip seal at
each bottom corner
between the jamb and operating slab(s) when closed. Position the
thick edge behind the weatherstrip, remove the backing paper and
adhere to the jamb as shown.
6. Install drip cap if required or desired. Fold the building wrap
(previously taped up) down over the drip cap and seal the cut ends
with self-adhesive flashing or building wrap tape.
7. For metal frames,
apply casing to both
sides. Mark the
locations of the oval
slots in the frame
onto the casing and
secure casing with
fasteners through
the oval slots.
For snap on steel
casing, refer to the
instructions with the
clips.
8. Apply sealant
around the outside
of the door unit
between the siding
and brickmould,
between the
brickmould and the
jamb and between
the jamb sides and
the threshold. Apply
a discontinuous
bead of sealant
(1/2" gap every 1')
along the front side
of the threshold.
3. From the inside of
doors with sidelights
installed on a wood
floor, pre-drill for #8
screws and fill the
holes with sealant.
Drive two #8 x 3"
deck screws through
each door jamb and
sidelight into the
floor in the locations
shown.
4. Some double door
units may require
installing lock
bolts at the top
and bottom of the
inactive panel. Follow
the instructions
that come with the
product if available.
Otherwise, locate the
center point of each
lock bolt, drill 3/8" bolt holes and install keeper plates.
FINISH INSTALLATION
1. Re-check for smooth door operation and even spacing between the
door and jamb. Secure the strike jamb evenly between the first two
already in place with two more 10d casing nails (or #8 x 3" deck
screws) behind the weatherstrip.
Note! Steps 2 and 3 apply only to units with hinge jamb(s) against the
rough opening.
2. Install two provided
#9 x 2 1/2" wood
screws in the top
hinge through the
two holes closest to
the weatherstrip,
driving them through
the hinge jamb and
into the studs. If
necessary, remove
the screws already in
the hinges to insert
these longer screws.
3. If installing a door
with a metal frame,
on the exterior, slide
the “L” shaped head
piece into the inner
section and center
it in the opening.
Install the jamb
pieces making sure
they are tight against
the head piece and
rough opening.
Secure with fasteners
through the provided
holes.
