2 cont. Check and prepare opening.
String test for plumb: Attach string diagonally across the opening from the outside. The string should gently touch, if not the opening is out of plumb by twice that distance and needs to be corrected. . Flip string over itself
to check both sides.
*An “out of plumb” condition is one of the most common reasons doors leak.
Recommended: Weather Resistant Barrier & Flashing Detail.
We recommend the use of Weather Resistant Barrier applied to the exterior sheathing (OSB or other) and the use of an
adhesive or flexible flashing to seal it. The WRB should be cut in the opening (follow
manufacturer’s instructions) 
with the head of the flap taped up to be sealed later in Step 11. The flashing should be applied in an overlapping manner as shown always working from the bottom up (follow manufacturer’s instructions).
