Press the header [
H
] over the wall jambs [
B
] and
the 180
°
post [
G
]. Plumb the post, moving it laterally
as required to maintain proper coverage on the fixed
glass panel [
F
]. The minimum horizontal dimension for
the door opening is the door panel width (see
illustration in Step #8) plus 1/2”, maximum if the door
panel width plus 1 ¾”. Using the holes in the ends of
the header and curb as a guide, drill four 1/8” holes into
the wall jambs. Drill two 1/8” holes thru the header and
curb into the 180
°
post as shown, then enlarge the two
outer holes with a 3/16” drill for clearance on the self-
tapping screws. Secure the header and curb to the wall
jambs and 180
°
post with six #8 x 1/4” truss head
screws [
K
].
CAUTION:
Slide the glass panel away from the wall
jamb before drilling to prevent damage or breakage.

Orient the door to the opening (either hinge right
Or hinge left). Place the door in the opening with the
door hinge over the wall jamb or post. Carefully hold the
door in the opening (in the open position) and don’t let go
of the door. Place the top filler to the under side of the
header WITH THE RAISED LIP TO THE EXTERIOR
and snap it into place.
Still holding the door in the opening move down to the
lower filler and snap it into place, being sure that the
raised lip of the filler is to the exterior.

Pull the bottom end of the hinge jamb [

to the curb filler [
N
] and plumb the jamb. Drill two
1/8” holes thru the hinge jamb and into the wall jamb
[
B
] 3/8” to ¾” from the wall and approximately 1/4”
from the ends of the jamb. Drill a third hole centered
between the first two, then enlarge the three outer holes
with a 3/16” drill for clearance on the self-tapping
screws. Attach the pivot jamb permanently with three
#8 x 1/4” truss head screws [
K
].
Slide the header filler [
N
] tight against the hinge jamb.
Push the strike jamb [
M
] tight against the fillers top
and bottom. With the hinge jamb plumb and both fillers
tight between the two door jambs, the strike jamb also
will be plumb and parallel to the hinge jamb. Attach the
strike jamb to the 180
°
post [
G
] in the same manner as
the hinge jamb.
