9 Slide the strike jamb [J] over one of the
corner posts. Be sure that the magnet is facing
the exterior
. Use a piece of tape to temporarily
hold it in place.
Orient the door to the opening (either hinge right
or hinge left). Grab the door from the inside (the
open side of the hinge jamb should be away from
you).
Carefully lift the door [K] into the opening and
slide the hinge jamb [K1] over the other corner post.
Holding the door in the open position, press the snap-in
fillers [L] into the header and the curb, WITH THE
RAISED LIP
TO THE EXTERIOR. (see illustration)
10 Center the door in the opening by sliding
the hinge jamb over the corner post until the space
between the door and the header is even from hinge
side to strike side and the hinge jamb is as close to
plumb as possible.
From the inside of the enclosure, drill two 1/8”
holes through the hinge jamb and into the post
approximately 1” from the ends of the hinge
jamb at the top and bottom and approximately
3/8” from the edge of the open side of the hinge
jamb (see illustration). Drill a third hole, in line
with the first two and centered between them.
Enlar
ge the three holes in the hinge jamb only
with a 3/16” drill bit for clearance of the truss
head screws. CAREFUL: DO NOT enlarge
the holes in the post.
Attach the hinge jamb permanently with three
#8 x 1/4” truss head screws.
Slide the snap-in fillers tight against the hinge jamb.
Slide the strike jamb tight against the snap-in fillers.
W
ith the hinge jamb plumb and both fillers tight
between both jambs, the strike jamb will be parallel
to the hinge jamb.
Drill and attach the strike jamb in the same manner
as the hinge jamb.
