Applications
without sill pan
C.For doors with no lock/bore: remove the screws and
blocking from the head and sill.
Caution: The door panels will swing freely
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.
E. Plumb and square door. Place shims at each hinge and lock strike location between the door and the sides of the opening. Keep shims back 1/2" from the interior face of the door frame. Insert shims in other locations as needed starting up 6" from the bottom of the door to square it in the opening. Check for frame twist; confirm consistent weatherstrip compression around the perimeter of the door. Make sure the 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.
