FOR RETROFIT INSTALLATIONS

Remove the old door. Remove sufficient siding to expose at least 9"
of intact building wrap. If damaged, apply new building wrap in a
shiplap manner. Verify header and trimmer studs are structurally sound.
Continue with instructions.

PREPARE BUILDING WRAP

Verify these steps do
not void the building
wrap manufacturer’s
warranty.
1. Trim building wrap

flush with the
edges of the rough
opening.

2. At the head, slit

building wrap 6"
at 45°. Tape up as
shown.

3. Apply spray

adhesive/primer
to the sill pan
and surrounding
area. Follow
manufacturer’s
instructions
for application
methods.

4. Cut a piece of

JelD-WeN self-
adhesive flashing
the length of the
sill and apply over
the sill pan as shown. The bottom of the sill pan should be completely
covered by the self-adhesive flashing. For step down landings, fold
flashing down as shown. For continuous slabs, trim flush with rough

INSTAll DOOR

Warning!

To avoid injury, use at least two people to install. Adequately

support the door until completely fastened.
1. Apply a 3/8" bead of sealant where the back of the trim meets the

frame. Tool into a fillet shape. Run another bead of sealant along the
back of the fin/trim where it will contact the structure.

2. Tilt the door into

the rough opening,
making sure the
inside of the door sill
is fully seated into
the sealant on the sill
pan back dam.

3. Secure the door in

the rough opening
by pre-drilling holes
and then driving #8
x 3" drywall/deck
screws into the thick
part of the jamb
where shown. Do not
fully seat screws.

ShIM PATIO DOOR

Note!

Secure all shims

with sealant.
From the interior, shim
the head and side jambs
6" from the corners and
at 8" intervals. Install
shims at the strike
plate and at each hinge
location so the screws
(installed later) will
each penetrate a shim.
If installing a door with
a hinge jamb in the
middle, shim underneath
the mull for support.
Shim so the door is
square, level and plumb.
Verify there is a 1/8" margin between the frame and the door panels.
