3 SETTING AND FASTENING THE DOOR
TWO OR MORE PEOPLE WILL BE REQUIRED FOR THE FOLLOWING STEPS.
IF INSTALLING ON A CONCRETE FLOOR, refer to Installation Instructions (Bottom Fin Removal) later in this booklet.
A.Insert the door from the exterior of the building. 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.
Î
Note: When installing doors without a bottom fin, DO NOT slide the bottom of the door into the opening, as sliding will damage the sealant lines. Insert sill anchor screws prior to shimming.
