Pull the bottom end of the pivot jamb [N] tight
to the curb filler [R] and plumb the jamb vertically. Drill
two 1/8" holes thru the pivot jamb and into the wall jamb
[C] 3/8" to 3/4" from the wall and approximately 1/4"
vertically from the ends of the jamb. Drill a third hole
centered between the first two and enlarge the outer
holes with a 3/16" drill for clearance on the self-tapping
screws. Attach the pivot jamb permanently with three
#8 x 1/4" truss head screws [L].
Slide the header filler [R] tight against the pivot jamb.
Push the strike jamb [P] tight against the fillers top and
bottom. With the pivot jamb plumb and both fillers tight
between the two door jambs, the strike jamb also will be
plumb and parallel to the pivot jamb. Attach the strike
jamb in the same manner as the pivot jamb.

Insert the two #10-24 x 7/16" square head set
screws [X] into the threaded holes in the pivot blocks in
the top and bottom rails of the glazed door panel [J].
Position the pivot pins 1 1/2" from the pivot side of the
door (the side opposite the magnetic strip). Tighten the
set screws just enough to prevent the pivot blocks from
moving (finger tight plus a quarter turn). A 3/16"
wrench (not supplied by Alumax) will fit the set screw
heads.
Press the white nylon spacer [Y] over the bottom pivot
pin on the door panel.
Insert the two nylon pivot bushings [AA] into
the pivot holes in the head and curb fillers [R].
Lift the door panel [J] and insert the top pivot pin into
the pivot bushing in the header filler. Hold the door
vertical and insert the bottom pivot pin into the pivot
bushing in the curb filler. It may be necessary to remove
the header retaining screws and raise the header slightly
to install the door (or the lower pivot pin may be filed
down slightly).
When the door has been set into place, snap the security
washer [BB] over the top pivot pin to hold the upper
pivot bushing in place and prevent accidental dislodging
of the door.
