ASSEMBLE DOOR FRAME COMPONENTS
Consult diagrams near the back of this guide
before
you begin.
ATTENTION:
Photos and diagrams show attaching door frame to an end
wall constructed using girts with a specific profile. If actual end wall frame
differs, take necessary steps to alter instructions as needed to allow proper
installation of door jambs and header.
The following steps describe one way to set door jambs.
1. Using dimensions from
Door Frame Layout located in Quick Start
section, locate and mark door jamb positions on site.
2. Dig a 10"-12" diameter hole at locations found in previous step to a
depth that is
below geographic frost line
. (Minimum depth: 24".)
3. Locate the 120" door jambs (105488120). Using a metal saw, cut and
remove 2-1/2" sections from one end of each door jamb as shown in
photo A.
This creates a lip and allows jamb to be attached to girt (see
photo B and C and Side View diagram).
ATTENTION:
Diagrams A-D show left door jamb only.
Adjust cuts when
cutting end for right jamb.
4. Using diagrams as guides, attach jambs to girts using 108553 wafer
head screws (photo C, D, and E). Install end wall girts if needed.
ATTENTION:
Position door jambs so open sides of C-channel face
away from door opening (as shown in photo C) and lip overlaps
girt. When attached to girt, lower end of each jamb extends into a
ground anchor hole and is secured in place using concrete.
Consult
a knowledgeable contractor if needed.
During installation, verify that
inside-to-inside dimension for door frame remains consistent.
