plastic plugs or shipping straps are
removed prior to installation.
Shipping strap
2. If interior trim is
applied, apply a
continuous bead of
silicone sealant where
the exterior trim meets
the door frame as
shown. Tool into a
llet shape.
If installing fasteners through berglass components,
we recommend pre-drilling holes to keep the
berglass from splitting.
Install Door
NOTE: This section covers single door and doors with a transom or
a sidelite(s) already installed by the factory.
1. Adequately support the slab to keep it from swinging open during
installation.
2. For units with
brickmould trim, apply
a 3/8" bead of sealant
to the back of the trim
where it will contact
the structure. From
the outside, tilt the
entire pre-hung door
into the center of the
opening. Make sure the
sill contacts the sealant
on the sill pan back
dam (upturned leg on
theinterior) if using a
rigid sill.
3. From the inside, shim
the jambs as follows:
one shim on each end
of the sill (between
jamb and sill, not
under sill). Shim at
each hinge location
and the strike plate.
Units with sidelites,
between the sidelite
and wall in at least 3
places until the door is
square in the opening.
