Left and Right Wall Glazing Panels

Make sure the top edge of the Right Wall Glazing Panel butts up to 
the underside of the Right Roof Glazing Panel. Trim back edge of 
glazing panel to fit. Put Bottom Cap on front vertical edge. Use 
1-1/2" ss screws. Repeat procedure for Left Wall Glazing Panel.

Optional: To cover front of door frames, cut a long piece of scrap 
glazing to cover from the inside edge of inner door frame to outside 
edge of side wall glazing. Place the Bottom Cap on the 
glazing side edge of strip.

Note: Roof Glazing not shown attached here to show the screw 
pattern for Left and Right Wall Glazing Panels.

Bottom Plate Extender

Attach Bottom Plate Extender. Use 3" screws.

Pre-hung door is mounted to swing in. 

Follow instructions that came with the door for 
installation. 

Check the reveal and use shims as needed to correct 
the reveal. Remove the middle screw in each hinge on 
the door frame and use a 2-1/2" screw to attach the door 
to the 2x6 frame. Finish securing the door to the 2x6 
frame by moving the weather strip to the side and 
placing 2-1/2" screws behind it, so that they are not 
visible. Secure the bottom 24" of the door using 3" 
screws.
