G.
Architect Series and Designer Series:
Apply sealant and insert a #8 x 2-1/2" screw (provided) into each hole in the bottom of the door frame
(shown above in gold).

SETTING AND FASTENING THE DOOR (continued)
H.
Architect Series and Designer Series:
Position and secure the panel retainer by drilling pilot holes through the remaining holes in the
retainer into the sill support or wood blocking, then apply sealant to the holes and insert a screw into each hole as specified below.
Aluminum sill support:
9/64" pilot holes, #10 x 3/4" thread cutting screws (provided).
Wood
blocking:
1/8" pilot holes, #10 x 2-1/2" flat head wood screws (provided).
Masonry floor:
3/16" x 1-3/4" concrete screw. Pilot drill per screw manufacturer’s recommendations.
I.
Remove the factory installed screws from the retainer
and repeat the process.
J.
Architect Series and Designer Series:
Drill a 3/16" clearance hole at each indentation in the extrusion at the top of the door frame into
the rough opening, stopping when the drill is through the door frame. Apply sealant to each hole, then insert a #8 x 3" stainless steel
screw into each hole.

INTEGRATING THE DOOR TO THE BUILDING FELT
Note: The flashing tape must be applied approximately 1/2" onto
the frame cladding at the jambs and head. Pre-folding the tape 1/2"
before removing the paper backing will make it easier to apply the tape
correctly. If the siding is less than 1/2" thick, adjust the dimension of the
fold so the exterior sealant line will cover the exterior edge of the tape.
A.
Apply side flashing tape.
Cut 2 pieces of flashing tape 4" longer than the
frame height of the door. Apply one piece 1/2" up onto the frame cladding,
over the nailing fin and onto the flashing paper to each side. The tape
should extend 2" above the top of the door and 2” below the bottom of the
door. Press the tape down firmly while folding down the excess tape at the
top and bottom of the door.
B.
Apply top flashing tape.
Cut a piece of flashing tape long enough to go across the top of
the door and extend at least 1" past the side flashing tape on both sides. Apply the tape 1/2"
up onto the frame cladding, over the top nailing fin as shown. Fold the overlapping tape
down, and press all tape down firmly.
Note: The top flashing tape must overlap the side flashing tape to prevent water from
getting behind it.
C.
Apply the top flashing paper.
Cut one piece of flashing paper at least 21" longer than
the width of the rough opening. Position the bottom edge of the flashing paper flush with
the frame of the door and center the flashing paper with the width of the door. Staple the
flashing paper to the header.
Note:
When applying
the first layer of building felt,
ensure the sill flashing paper overlaps the
building felt. This will tie the door system into the building water management system.
