SETTING AND FASTENING THE DOOR

B. 

Cut and remove the strap that runs

 from the 

door lock to the sill of the door.

C. 

Insert the door from the exterior of the building 
DO NOT

 slide the bottom of the door into the 

opening. Sliding will damage the sealant lines. Place 
the bottom of the door at the bottom of the opening 
with the door centered between the sides of the 
opening to allow for shimming, then tilt the top into 
position. Insert one 16d galvanized fi nishing nail at 
each upper corner of the brickmould. These are used 
to hold the door in place while shimming it plumb 
and square. 

TWO OR MORE PEOPLE WILL BE REQUIRED FOR THE FOLLOWING STEPS.

A.  

Place three 3/8" beads of sealant.

 Place 

the fi rst bead of sealant 1/2" from the base 
of the interior sill pan lip. This bead should 
also continue up the corner of the sill pan 
at each end, sealing the vertical joints of 
the sill pan legs. Continue the fi rst bead  
up 6" onto each jamb side of the rough 
opening. The second bead should be 
approximately 1/2" from the exterior edge 
of the rough opening, running from jamb 
to jamb with a 2" break in the middle of the 
opening. Place a third sealant bead in the 
groove of the sill support from end to end 
or 1/4" from the exterior edge of the wood 
blocking. 

B. 

Doors using Installation Clips:

 

Install installation clips. Place  each 
clip so the lip is facing up and against 
the brickmould at the locations 
shown in the placement diagram. 
Secure each clip by driving a #6 
x 5/8" corrosion resistant screw 
through each of the outer two holes 
of the three holes shown. 

Note: If clips are to be bent; pre-
bend before attaching to frame.
