Instructions / Assembly

When correctly installed, the foam center
pad will look like this from the inside.
Align the bottom
of the pad to the
top of the sill cap.
• Add insulation to air space between opening and unit.
• Use included patch stick to fill over trim head screws.
• For larger holes, use Minwax Wood Filler or Elmer's Fill-n-Finish.
• Seal joints between exterior hardware trim and door face to prevent air and water infiltration.
• Provide and maintain a properly installed cap or head flashing to protect top surfaces from water damage.
• Do not paint gaskets or weatherstrip. Weatherstrip may be removed for easier painting or staining.
• Out-swing doors must have all edges - sides, top, and bottom - finished. Inspect and maintain these
edges as regularly as all other surfaces.
• Maintain or replace sealants and finishes as soon as any deterioration is evident. For semi-gloss or glossy
paints or clear coats, do this when the surface becomes dull or rough. More severe exposures require
more frequent maintenance.
• All Simonton Hinged Patio Doors must be finished and maintained in accordance with our recommenda-
tions, failure to do so may affect the applicable warranty.
• Follow our Finishing Instructions found on www.simonton.com.
(French double doors only)
(Now apply the astragal corner seal pad to
the lower portion of the astragal.)
Apply sealant at joint, where the threshold cap meets the door jamb.
Remove self-stick paper from corner seal pads and apply to the door jamb,
with bottom lined up evenly with top of sill cap.
When correctly installed the tab is always on top and the narrow part is on
the bottom.
The bottom is the same width as the sill cap to help with alignment of
installation.
Repeat on the other side of the door.
