O. 

If needed, the height of the threshold can be 

adjusted

 to achieve appropriate contact with 

the door sweep. Remove screw cover caps as 
necessary and use a #3 Phillips screwdriver to 
turn the adjustment screws clockwise to lower 
the threshold or counter-clockwise to raise the 
threshold.

P.   

Place a 1/4" bead of sealant

 along the corners 

where the sill meets both side jambs.

Q.  

Before the sealant sets up;

 remove paper 

backing from the corner seal pad and position the 
pad embedded in the sealant and tight against the top of 
the adjustable threshold, with the thin portion of the pad 
flush with the interior face of the jamb (both jambs).

R.  

Install handle and lock hardware. 

Refer to manufacturer’s 

instructions included with the hardware.

Note: At this time, install any additional fasteners if 
needed to meet local code requirements such as those 
required to comply with the Florida Building Code.
