DOOR FRAME INSTALLATION
1. Door frame shall be completely assembled, including threshold; with all joints neatly aligned and
tight. See pages 7 thru 12 for assembly guidelines.
2. Door frame shall be installed square and plumb. FIGURE 9 & 10, below.
3. Level the door frame at the threshold at the highest point in the slab. It is preferable to not have
a high point in the slab. The door frame is designed to have the jambs run to the slab.
4. Frame must be securely anchored in place. Solidly shim at all anchor points so as not to bow or
distort framing.
5. Mark the concrete through the countersunk holes in the threshold and along front and back
edges of threshold. See FIGURE 11, pg 14.
6. Remove threshold from opening. Use masonary bit to drill holes in slab for inserts or anchors.
7. Run bead of sealant along front and back edges beneath threshold using lines marked along
front and back. See FIGURE 11, pg 14.
8. Install threshold back into frame attaching to threshold clips at each end. Inject sealant into each
anchor hole and then install anchors into inserts or prepared holes.See FIGURE 12, pg 14.
