Due to varying dimensions of mouldings, there may be a gap at
the miter of the brick moulding where the radius/arch pi ece of the
head meets the straight leg of the side. This is expected and
should be caulked prior to painting.

finish driving screws directly below shims
Note:
Improper shimming WILL affect
the operation of the door unit.
Proper installation is necessary to
insure warranty coverage.
