Installation Instructions for Replacement of Aluminum Sliding Doors in Hard Coat Stucco Applications.

These instructions are designed for typical California hard coat stucco exterior applications. The installation must leave the existing aluminum sliding door frame and weep system in place. These instructions are not to be used with any other construction method and rely on the integrity of the existing aluminum sliding door frame and flashing system. Building designs, construction methods, building materials, and site conditions unique

to your project may require an installation method different from these instructions and additional care. Determining the appropriate installation method is the responsibility of you, your architect, or construction professional. If you have questions, please contact your local Pella retailer.

A.Prepare the door opening by removing the venting panel and the glass from the existing fixed side of the aluminum door frame.

Note: It may be necessary to cut the divider between the venting panel and fixed glass areas with a hacksaw. The existing aluminum frame is left in place so as not to disturb the existing exterior stucco flashing or drainage system.

B.Cut the existing door sill out of the opening. Using a hacksaw or side grinder, cut the existing sill as close to the longest leg of the jamb extrusion as possible.

Note: Be careful to avoid damage to the interior flooring materials. Drilling holes in the sill prior to cutting may make the removal of the existing sill easier. If existing sill has a stainless steel cap on the sill, removing the cap prior to cutting will make cutting easier.

C.Clean old sealant and other debris from the door opening.

D.Remove the door lock strike from the lock jamb of the existing door frame.

with sealant.

 

F. If the weep holes of the existing sill have

 

been cut away, drill new weep holes in the

existing door jambs. Be sure to drill weep holes

 

in all vertical jamb legs, except the most

 

interior leg.

 

Note: Ensure that all new or existing weep holes are open before proceeding with the installation.

G.Cut wood blocking to fill the vent and fixed panel cavities in the head and jamb of the existing

door frame. The depth of the blocking should be

the same height as the tallest leg of the existing jamb extrusion. Cut the head blocking to fill the entire length of the head in both channels. Cut the

jamb blocking to fill both jamb channels to within 8G approximately 1” of the bottom of the jamb.
