Parklane Pivot Door

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

STEP 2

Attach the pivot brackets (B) to the top and bottom of the fascia jamb (C) with #8 x 1" screws (E).

NOTE: Leave the top pivot bracket loose.

STEP 3

Insert the vinyl fascia seal (F) into the screw boss on the leading edge of the fascia jamb (C).

STEP 4

Using a level, position the fascia jamb (C) against the front leg of the threshold (A). Mark through the holes provided for anchoring. Drill 3/16" holes and insert plastic anchors (G) for masonry applications or drill 1/8" tap holes for fiberglass and acrylic units. Secure the fascia jamb (C) to the wall with #8 x 2-1/2" PH screws (H).

STEP 5

Position the door panel (D) with the bottom pivot pin assembly (K) fitting into the bottom pivot bracket (B). Align top pivot pin assembly and insert into the top pivot bracket. Tighten the top pivot bracket screws (E).

STEP 6

Using a level, center the strike jamb assembly (L) on the threshold.  Mark through the holes provided for anchoring and drill as detailed in Step 4. Secure the strike jamb with #8 x 2-1/2" flathead screws (M).

NOTE: The strike jamb should not be against the front leg of the threshold.

STEP 7

Make adjustments from both walls until the door is level and closes against the strike jamb securely. Major adjustments can be made by loosening the nuts of the pivot pin assembly (K) with a 7/16" open end wrench. Slide the door into position then re-tighten nuts. Final adjustments are made at the strike jamb by loosening the mounting screws (M) and turning the expansion screws (N) as needed with a small (#2) Phillips screwdriver.

STEP 8

Install the handles (O) with #6-32 x 1-1/2" screws (P).

STEP 9

Secure the drip anchor (AA) with sweep (BB) to the bottom of the door panel (D) using #8 x 1/2" tek screws (I). The drip anchor should be flush with the bottom of the door.

STEP 10

Insert the drip channel end plug (DD) into the end of the drip channel (CC). Position the drip channel (CC) with the highest point towards the strike jamb (L) and angle down for desired drainage. Secure with #6 x 7/32" screws (EE).
