3 SETTING AND FASTENING THE DOOR

A.Place three 3/8" beads of sealant. The first bead should be approximately 3/4" from the exterior of the rough opening, the second 2-1/2" in from the first bead of sealant. Place a third bead of sealant in the groove of the sill support or 1/4" from the exterior edge of the wood blocking.

TWO OR MORE PEOPLE WILL BE REQUIRED

FOR THE FOLLOWING STEPS.

B.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 equal 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.
