Instructions / Assembly

Apply sealant here.

Apply sealant bead in line with screw holes (interior

side) of the nailing ﬂange around the perimeter of

door. A 1/2"- 5/8" bead of sealant is essential.

Set Patio Unit in Place

To set the door in place, center the door in the rough

opening, and place the bottom of the door on the sub-ﬂoor

or sill pan*. Then lean the door into the opening.

*Sill pan is recommended for best performance.

Temporarily secure the nailing ﬂange with screws (minimum

#8-1 1/2" Phillips ﬂat head – not included) through the

sheathing into the studs – do not tighten screws until door

jamb is shimmed and secured.

Sealant squeeze-out should be seen around the door.

This squeeze-out will be more pronounced when the

screws are secured.

Check door for plumb, square, and level.

Temporarily screw the door jamb in place after it is level

but before the doors are opened. This helps keep the door

in place during the shimming in step #5.

(Refer to step #2 - String test for plumb, level and square.)

Pro Tip:

Screws are the perfect fastening choice. They reduce damage,

can be reversed easily and are more deliberately placed!

Nail Flange Corners

Critical to Quality

The nail ﬂange corners need special attention.

Two adhesive foam corners are supplied with

the door. These need to be carefully applied with

sealant to avoid leaking.
