D. Insert the door from the exterior of the 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.
