Draw a plumb line
approximately 1/2" in from
the rough opening on both
hinge sides of the door
(
fig.7 & 8
)
.

Using two people, set the bottom of the door unit
into the rough opening and tip the top of the unit
into place
(
fig.10
)
. Looking at the top hinge,
center the middle notch on the door hanger directly
in line with the plumb line drawn in step 5. Once
the notch and the plumb line are in alignment, run
one of the supplied 1-5/8" screws through the long
slot in the hanger and into the stud wall
(
fig.11
)
.
Repeat this process for the next two hinge locations
making sure to align the same notch from the
remaining two clips with the plumb line. Run one
screw into each of the hangers. Repeat this process
with both hinge sides of the door. WARNING: Door
units are heavy! Use an adequate number of people
to set the unit to prevent injuries and damage to
the door.

Remove the remaining two bracing boards from the interior side of
the door using a hammer. Place a wood block on the surface of
the jamb to avoid damaging the wood of the door unit
(
fig.12
)
.
Check the margins between the doors and
across the header of the door unit. The
doors should have an even margin across
the top of the door and roughly a 1/8"
even margin between the two door slabs
(
fig.13
)
. If the margin is not even across
the header or does not equal roughly 1/8"
down the middle of the doors, loosen the
screws on the door hangers and slide the
door unit in or out until the margins are
even. Re-tighten the screws once the
adjustments are complete
(
fig.14
)
.
If the doors stick into the room at the top of the door unit,
double check the doors for plumb. Using a 6' level, place
the level parallel with the door frame. The bubble should be
centered
(
fig.15
)
. If the bubble is not centered, loosen the
screws on the hinge hangers and slide the jamb in or out
as needed to correct for the wall plumb. Shimming materials
may need to be added behind the hangers to accommodate
for plumbing the door.
Re-tighten the hangers when this step is complete.

Using a hammer, tap the six door hangers
on the exterior side of the door back to their
original position so that they are tight against
the wall surface
