3 SETTING AND FASTENING THE DOOR (CONTINUED)

Frame Screw Method:

J.Drill 1/8" x 1" deep pilot holes through the clearance holes and into the rough opening framing in the head, jambs, and threshold of the door frame.

Note: Be certain to shim between jambs and rough opening at all screw locations.

K.Secure the jambs and head of the door. Drive #10 x 3" corrosion resistant wood screws through the door frame and shim, into the rough opening. Drive the screws until snug but DO NOT over-tighten the screws. DO NOT bend or bow the unit frame. Apply sealant to the screw heads not located at the hinges or strikes.

Installation Clip Method:

L.Fasten the door to the opening by driving two #8 x 1-1/4" corrosion resistant screws into the pre-punched holes in the clips. If the clips are bent and fastened to the interior stud/block, install the screws as close to the bend as possible.

Note: DO NOT shim above the door. For masonry openings use two masonry screws a minimum size of 3/16" x 1-1/2" per clip. Pre-drill the masonry per screw manufacturer’s recommendations.

Frame Screw and Installation Clip Methods:

M. Sidelights of combinations only: Drive # 10 x 3" through each of the holes in the sill. Apply sealant to the screw heads not located at the hinges or strikes.

Note: For concrete floors, use masonry screw a minimum size of 3/16" diameter x 3". Predrill the masonry per screw manufacturer’s recommendations.

N. Check for sufficient weatherstrip contact between the bottom

weatherstrip and the threshold. Close the door on a dollar bill or sheet of paper located above an adjustment screw; light friction should be felt when pulling the

paper out indicating a good seal is3N being made. If there is not, adjust

the threshold. Repeat for each adjustment screw.
