3 SETTING AND FASTENING THE DOOR (continued):

Note: Do not adjust the hinge with the top and bottom screws loose; this could force the hinge to adjust beyond its design capability which can cause the hinge to bind, damage the hinge and/or pull out the screws. A ¾ turn of the center screw provides approximately 5/32" adjustment.

P.Doors with a lock strike in the side (jamb) and without a sidelight on the lock side:

Drill an 1/8" diameter x 2" deep pilot hole into the rough opening through the pre-drilled holes located in the frame as follows:

P1. Door Frame Corner:

Drill pilot holes through the pre-drilled hole located in the upper frame corner on the lock jamb side, approximately 8" from the top of the door frame head.

P2. Doors with Multi-point Lock:

Drill through the one pre-drilled hole located in each lock strike. (Pull back frame weatherstrip to locate open hole in strike).

P3. Center Latch and Deadbolt Lock:

Drill through the mounting hole locations. Insert a # 8 x 3" screw into the pilot holes making sure it passes through the shim and into the rough opening.

Note: This step does not apply to center latching double doors.

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.
