Installation Instructions for Replacement of Aluminum Sliding Doors in Hard Coat Stucco 
Applications in arid climates. 

These instructions are designed for typical hard coat stucco exterior applications in arid climates.
The installation must leave the existing aluminum door frame and weep system in place. 

These 

instructions are not to be used with any other construction method and rely on the integrity 
of the existing aluminum sliding door and flashing system.

 Building designs, construction 

methods, building materials, and site conditions unique to your project may require an installation 
method different from these instructions and additional care. Determining the appropriate 
installation method is the responsibility of you, your architect, or construction professional. If you 
have questions, please contact your local Pella retailer.
