Architect Series and Designer Series

G.Architect Series and Designer Series: Apply sealant and insert a #8 x 2-1/2" pan head screw (provided) into each hole in the bottom of the door frame (shown above in gold). Another option is to use 3/16’ x 1-3/4” concrete screws. Drill pilot holes per manufacturers instructions.

H.Architect Series and Designer Series: Position and secure the panel retainer by drilling pilot holes through the remaining holes in the retainer into the sill support or wood blocking, then apply sealant to the holes and insert a screw into each hole as specified below.

Aluminum sill support: 9/64" pilot holes, #10 x 3/4" flat head thread cutting screws (provided).

Wood blocking: 1/8" pilot holes, #10 x 2-1/2" flat head wood screws (provided).

Masonry floor: 3/16” x 1-3/4” concrete screw. Pilot drill per screw manufacturer’s recommendations.

I.Remove the factory installed screws from the retainer and repeat the process.

J. Architect Series and Designer Series: Drill a		￿￿￿￿￿
3/16" clearance hole at each indentation in the
extrusion at the top (head) of the door frame
into the rough opening, stopping when the drill
is through the door frame. Apply sealant to	￿￿￿￿￿￿￿￿

into each hole. ￿￿￿￿

4 INTEGRATING THE DOOR TO THE WATER RESISTIVE BARRIER

Note: The flashing tape must be applied approximately 1/2" onto the frame cladding at the jambs and head. Pre-folding the tape at 1/2" before removing the paper backing will make it easier to apply the tape correctly. If the siding is less than 1/2" thick, adjust the dimension of the fold so the exterior sealant line will cover the exterior edge of the tape.

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.

Note: The top flashing tape must overlap the side flashing tape to prevent water from getting behind it.
