TWO OR MORE PEOPLE WILL BE REQUIRED for the following steps:
B.Cut and remove the strap that runs from the door lock to the sill of the door.
C. Insert the door from the exterior of the | 3C | Exterior |
building. DO NOT slide the bottom of the |
|
|
door into the opening. Sliding will damage |
|
|
the sealant lines. Place the bottom of the door |
|
|
at the bottom of the opening, then tilt the |
|
|
top into position. Center the door between |
|
|
the sides of the opening to allow clearance for |
|
|
shimming, and insert one roofing nail in the |
|
|
first hole from the corner on each end of the |
|
|
top nailing fin. These are used to hold the door |
|
|
in place while shimming it plumb and square. |
|
|
D. Plumb and square door. Place shims at each | 3D |
|
hinge and lock strike location between the | Exterior | |
door and the sides of the opening. Insert shims |
|
|
in other locations as needed starting up 6” |
|
|
from the bottom of the door to square it in the opening. Make sure that the reveal around the door(s) is equal. On double doors, make sure that panels are even across the bottom.
Note: On center latch double doors the lock strike will not be shimmed since it is located in the center of the unit. DO NOT over shim.
E.Check the interior reveal. Make sure the measurement from the interior face of the door to the interior face of the wall is equal at several points around the door.
Note: If the dimensions are not equal, check to make sure the fins are folded out to 90° at all points.
