PERFORMANCE TESTED
This installation manual is designed to assist experienced door
installers. This manual assumes installers will have industry
knowledge and understanding of carpentry principles.
This manual also assumes installers understand how to prop-
erly and safely use power tools. The purpose of this manual
is to instruct installers on how to install the Hinged Patio Door
System using methods and materials that eliminate water
related leaks. If the directions in this manual are closely fol-
lowed, the door system will have a very long useful life without
experiencing rain related water intrusion problems.
These methods and materials are “tried and true”. They are
used widely by builders and remodelers who are serious about
managing and keeping water outside of their homes. Rather
than eliminate any steps that may be unclear to you, please call
1-800-SIMONTON and ask for clarification of anything that
you do not understand.
Different parts of the country have different building require-
ments. The steps in this manual address most areas adequately.
