Instructions / Assembly
Apply sealant in joint before vertical trim is installed. Install
side, vertical trim. Screw miter joints together from the sides.
After the top flashing is applied, begin the trim application. Start
by centering the top piece of trim and using a rubber mallet to
snap the trim to the nailing flange.
Now that the door is installed and sealed properly, it is time
for the top flashing to be applied. The top flashing should
extend 1" wider than the edges of the side flashing.
If other trim is going to be used (not supplied by Simonton) it
should be installed and sealed in the same manner as shown in
these photos.
Important!
Don’t forget the top of the head trim. Apply sealant at the outside
edge to the flashing to prevent water from getting behind the trim.
Apply sealant at the outside edge of
the trim to the flashing. Seal the seam
between the trim and jamb.
The inside of the miter cuts will line up
with the frame corner joint.

Important!
Your Simonton Hinged Patio Door has an adjustable threshold cap.
When properly adjusted, it should be snug and difficult to pull a
dollar bill from under the door when it is closed, but the bill can be
removed without tearing.
This check should be performed at each adjustment screw location.
