E.  Plumb and square door. Place shims at each hinge and lock 

strike location between the door and the sides of the opening. 

Insert shims in other locations as needed starting up 6" from 

the bottom of the door to square it in the opening. Make sure 

that the reveal around the door(s) is equal. On double doors, 

make sure that panels are even across the bottom.
Note: DO NOT over shim.

F.  Check the interior reveal. Make sure 

the measurement from the interior face 

of the door to the interior face of the 

wall is equal at several points around 

the door.

Note: If the dimensions are not 

equal, check to make sure the fins 

are folded out to 90° at all points.

G. Fasten the door to opening by driving 2" 

galvanized roofing nails into each pre-punched 

hole in the nailing fin.

Note: Make sure the fin corner is lying as 

flat as possible.

H. Carefully open the door(s) 

and remove all 

shipping spacers.
Note: Be sure to remove the spacers from the bottom edge 

of the door panel.

I.  Insert and attach shims directly above the astragal 

in the center of the unit.

J.  Center hinge double doors only: On each 

hinge, starting at the top, insert a 3" long screw 

(provided) into the open screw hole. Make sure 

that the screw passes through the shims and into 

the structural framing.

K.  Check door operation. Open and close the 

door to check for proper operation. Make sure 

the door will latch correctly.
Note: If there are any problems with the 

operation, recheck and adjust the reveal. 

Plastic shims located behind the hinges may be 

removed to adjust the reveal between the door 

panel and door frame. Additional hinge shims 

may be added if required.

L.  Drill a 1/8" diameter x 2" deep pilot hole through the lock strike and into 

the rough opening. Insert a #8 x 3" screw (provided) into pilot hole making 

sure that it passes through the shim and into the stud.
