Vinyl French and Patio Doors:
Note!
Use the six screws that come in the hardware pack to install the
door. The hardware pack also contains six screw caps and a #25 torx bit
to install the screws.
1. Verify the door is level, square and plumb. Check for even margins
around all panels and the frame and that the lockset holes (if
applicable) align properly. If not, adjust shims. Once the screws are
captured in the jamb jacks, they cannot be removed and reinstalled.

Note!
Vinyl door instructions later in this section. All others begin here.
Double door units are shown, however, the fastening instructions also
apply to triple, quad and sidelight French and patio door units.
For French Doors:
Remove a screw from
each hinge next to the
weatherstrip and replace
with one of the provided
#8 x 3" screws, seating
all screws fully.
ADJUST SILL CAP (IF NECESSARy)
Verify the sweep
properly contacts
the threshold with
1/8" overlap as
shown. Door units
are manufactured
so that, if installed
level and square, the
sweep will contact the
threshold properly,
making adjustments
to the sill cap
unnecessary. However,
if adjustments are
needed, use a flat
head screwdriver
to remove screw
covers and turn screw
clockwise to adjust
the sill cap up. Sills are
shipped with sill cap
adjusted all the way
down.
2. Use the jamb jack
screws and TORX
bit (provided) to
initially secure
the frame to the
opening at locations

jack screws #1 &
#2 until they click
twice. Do the same
for #3.
3. Check the inside
of jamb on the #1
side for plumb and
adjust by turning
jamb jack screws
clockwise to move
toward the jamb, or
counter clockwise
to move away from
the jamb. Check
unit for plumb,
square and level.
4. Turn #4 jamb jack
screw until it clicks
twice. Adjust jamb
jack screws on the
#4 side to plumb
jamb. Again, check
unit for level, plumb
and square.

jambs.
