PREPARE THE DOOR FOR INSTALLATION
A.
Remove the plastic wrap and cardboard packaging
from the door.
Note: If screens, grilles or hardware are removed from the door at this time, label them and store them in a protected area.
B.
Remove the shipping spacers.
Carefully slide the movable panel halfway open and remove the spacers from both the top and bottom of the
movable panel.
TWO OR MORE PEOPLE WILL BE REQUIRED TO HANDLE THE PANEL & FRAME SAFELY.
C.
Remove the venting panel
by lifting it out of the lower track and tilting the bottom of the panel away
from the door frame. Then, lower the panel out of the top track. Carefully set the panel aside.
Note: Assemble the OXXO frame per the instructions included with the door splice kit.
D.
Fold out installation fin to 90°.
Be careful not to remove or tear the fin corners.
Note: If the fin is not at 90°, the door will not line up correctly on the interior.

SETTING AND FASTENING THE DOOR
A.
Place three 3/8" beads of sealant.
The first bead should be approximately 3/4" from the exterior of the rough
opening, the second 2-1/2" in from the first bead of sealant. Place a third bead of sealant in the groove of the sill
support or 1/4" from the exterior edge of the wood blocking.
TWO OR MORE PEOPLE WILL BE REQUIRED FOR THE FOLLOWING STEPS.
B.
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, then tilt the top into position. Center the door
between the sides of the opening to allow equal clearance for shimming, and insert
one roofing nail in the first hole from the corner on each end of the top nailing fin.
These are used to hold the door in place while shimming it plumb and square.
C.
Plumb and square door.
Insert shims, as necessary, between the door
and the sides of the rough opening starting up 6" from the bottom of
the door.
Note: DO NOT OVER SHIM.
D.
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.
E. Secure the frame. Insert a 1" wide shim behind the pilot hole at the lock strike(s).
Insert a #8 x 2-1/2" screw (included in the panel retainer and screw package) into the
pilot hole making sure it passes through the shim and into the rough opening.
Note: The weather strip must be pushed aside to reveal the pilot hole. Be careful
not to damage the weather-strip. Architect Series

F.
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.
