A.Apply side flashing tape. Cut two pieces of flashing tape 4" longer than the frame height of the door. Apply one piece 1/2" onto the frame cladding, over the nailing fin and onto the water resistive barrier on each side. The tape should extend 2" above the top of the door and 2" below the bottom of the door. Press the tape down firmly while folding down the excess tape at the top and bottom of the door.
B.Apply top flashing tape. Cut a piece of flashing tape long enough to go across the top of the door and extend at least 1" past the side flashing tape on both sides. Apply the tape 1/2" onto the frame cladding, over the top nailing fin as shown. Fold the overlapping tape down, and press all tape down firmly.

D. Apply flashing tape to diagonal cuts. Cut pieces of flashing tape at least 1" longer than the diagonal cuts in the water resistive barrier. Apply the tape covering the entire diagonal cut in the water resistive barrier at both upper corners of the door.
Note: Be sure to overlap the top corners.
