Step 4. Erect the frame (see Figure F).
• Shim the frame into the opening, ensuring the jambs are level and the sill is plumb and
level. Shim the sill at anchor locations and where needed to ensure a level and solid sill.
Next, finish shimming the jambs at anchor locations. After the jambs are secure, measure
and check the level to make sure the center of the frame is the same height as the jambs.
Be careful when anchoring the head that you do not pull the head up out of level, and
shim if necessary.
• Frame anchor locations will be similar to Figure E.
• Install the anchor cover.
• Seal the perimeter of the frame to the opening.
