4. Continue holding unit securely in place.
Square and plumb jambs. This can be done from
the interior or exterior. Check both side-to-side and
inside-to-outside. Measure unit from corner-to-cor-
ner to check for square.
IMPORTANT: Take diagonal measure-
ments across outside edges of door frame
(FIGURES 4A & 4B).
NOTE: For clarity, the helper who is holding the
door securely in place, is not visible.
5. Use a pry bar to slide bottom of door left or right
until diagonal measurements are exactly the same.
6. Secure opposite top corner of unit and check
again for level, plumb and square (FIGURES 4C &
4D).
7. Use shims and a straightedge to straighten the
side and top jambs. When unit is straight, plumb,
and square fasten through the nailing fin spacing
screws as prescribed on Page v for DP installation.
For Non-DP installation, apply fasteners through
each pre-punched hole in the head and side nailing
fins.
On 4-Wide doors, it is critical that
the head and side jambs remain
straight and square. Before completing head
jamb fastening, check dimension from sill track
to head jamb in three spots (FIGURE 5). All
three measurements must be equal and remain
equal during installation and fastening.
If sliding panels are installed into an opening
that is not straight, the panels may not operate
properly. It will also be difficult to adjust the
panels so accessory grills can be aligned.
