ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
for Premium Aluminum and Premium Atlantic Aluminum Sliding Patio Doors (JII020)
2
OPEN-STUD CONSTRUCTION
Covering the wall
framing with
backing support
is recommended
before the patio
door is installed.
This backing support
should be a non
water-degradable,
thin (max. 1/8" thick)
sheet material such
as plywood, or vinyl
sheeting. Completely
surround the rough
opening with the
backing support
as shown. Backing
support must be
applied before building wrap.
These illustrations show construction details complete with all
components necessary for door installation. Do not attempt to
install door if any of these components are missing. If necessary,
call a contractor for assistance. Improper installation may result in
denial of claims for operational or performance problems.

FULLY SHEATHED WALL CONSTRUCTION
The wall framing is
covered by sheathing.
These installation instructions specically address masonry/block wall,
sheathed wall and open-stud construction. In each case, the door will be
mounted by fastening through the jambs into the rough opening.
MASONRY/BLOCK WALL CONSTRUCTION
For installation in a
masonry/block wall
construction, a buck
(a wood framework
attached to the
masonry) is required.
We will refer to this
buck as the rough
opening.
