Installation Instructions

IMPORTANT: Read all instructions carefully and become familiar with all parts before installation.

STEP 1

Threshold (A) is overcut. Measure opening for threshold and cut.

STEP 2

Apply a generous bead of silicone based caulk to the underside of the threshold (A) and place on the curb with the upright leg towards the outside of the unit.

STEP 3

Using a level, position the wall jambs (B) on the threshold and against the walls with the longer legs toward the opening. Mark through the holes provided for anchoring. Drill 3/16" holes and insert plastic anchors (C) for masonry applications or drill 1/8" tap holes for fiberglass and acrylic units. Secure jambs (B) to the walls with #8 x 1- 1/2" screws (D).

STEP 4

Position the door panel assembly (E) into the opening. Plumb the door assembly and secure it to the wall jamb (B) using #8 x 1/2" Tek screws (F) through the holes provided.

STEP 5

Position the strike jamb assembly (G) and plumb to the door panel assembly (E). Secure the strike jamb to the wall jamb (B) as in step #4.

STEP 6

Secure the drip anchor (AA) with sweep (BB) to the bottom of the door panel assembly using # 8 x 1/2" Tek screws (F) through the holes provided. The drip anchor should be flush with the bottom of the door.

STEP 7

Insert the drip channel end plug (DD) into the end of the drip channel (CC).

NOTE: Before inserting the end plug put a small drop of clear silicone on the bottom. Position the drip channel with the highest point toward the strike jamb and angle down for desired drainage.   Secure in position with #6 x 7/32" screws (EE) provided.
