Check door operation.
Open and close the door to check for proper operation. Make
sure the door will latch correctly.
Note: If there are any problems with the operation, recheck and
adjust the reveal.

increase the space between the hinge side of the frame and the door
panel, or counter clockwise to increase the space between the door
panel and the lock side of the frame. DO NOT turn the screws more
than a 3/4 turn in either direction. In some cases it may be necessary
to loosen and then tighten the top and bottom hinge screws to obtain
full hinge adjustment. If necessary, loosen the top and bottom screws,
and immediately retighten them. With the screws retightened, turn the
adjustment hinge screw. If the hinge will not adjust any further then
it is adjusted as far as it will go. If more clearance is needed adjust the
shims between the frame and the rough opening.
Note: DO NOT adjust the hinge with the top and bottom screws
loose; this could force the hinge to adjust beyond its design capability
which can cause the hinge to bind, damage the hinge and/or pull out
the screws. A 3/4 turn of the center screw provides approximately
1/16" adjustment.

Note: The flashing tape must be applied approximately 1/2"
onto the frame cladding at the jambs and head. Pre-folding the
tape at 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.
