Composite Jamb Routing and Installation Tips 1. Fastener and shim spacing should be set at 16" or less. 2. To fasten the jamb parts to the stud wall, pre-drill and countersink for at least 2" fastening screws under the area covered by the weatherstrip. 3. Make sure all countersunk holes are deep enough to accommodate the screw heads, and avoid over-torquing when driving.

Custom Door System Overview Head Jamb (with weatherstrip) Check to ensure that all parts listed on the jamb boxes are present and in good condition before removing existing entry or beginning to install the new unit. Interior Trim Please Note: Check for hinges, door sweep, trim, jambs, sill and screws.

Prepare the Rough Opening Continuous slab landing These instructions cover two door sill conditions: the step-down landing and the continuous slab landing. The installation methods vary slightly between the two landing types. Step-down landing Fig. 2 Apply sealant across sill Prepare the rough opening. The rough opening is to be 3/4" wider and 3/4" taller than the net outside jamb dimension of the unit. Check floor for level (measurements must be within 1/8").
PAGE 5
Prepare the Rough Opening - Continued • For door with step-down landing: fold down at remaining crease line (Fig. 5). • Trim height of fold-down to rise of step if necessary. • For door on continuous slab, cut along the remaining crease line. 5. Fig. 5 Finished sill pan for step down landing Place sill pan in rough opening so the open side faces the exterior. NOTE: Door sits inside sill pan; back dam of the sill pan should just clear the back edge of door sill when it is placed in the rough opening. 1.

Assemble Door Jamb Components 1. Lay jamb components out on a flat protective surface prior to assembly (refer to photos on page 1): A. SYSTEMS 1 & 2 – Two jamb legs, one header, one sill. B. SYSTEM 3 – Two jamb legs, one mull post, one header, one sill C. SYSTEMS 4 & 5 – Two jamb legs, two mull posts, one header, one sill. 2. Prior to assembly, apply a light bead of caulk along all connecting surfaces of jamb components for sealing and adhesion (Fig. 10). 3.
PAGE 7
Install Jamb System Fig. 15 1. With jamb system assembled, tip into rough opening, checking for good fit (Fig. 15). Mark exact location of sill on floor for construction adhesive and future fit, then remove unit. 2. Installation of sidelights (if not applicable, continue to Prepare Jamb System for Installation on page 11) A. Sidelight top, bottom and side edges must be sealed before installation into the jamb. B. Insert sidelight into the jamb in the direction as marked from the factory.

Prepare Jamb System for Installation Jamb and Door Installation 1. Tip jamb unit into rough opening, paying close attention to prior marking for sill location. 2. CHECK SILL FOR LEVEL. Correct before installing (Fig. 20). 3. Checking jambs for straightness, level and plumb, apply shims from interior and exterior of house as follows: (These numbers and locations of shims are meant only to serve as a minimum requirement. Depending on the application and size of the unit, more shims may be required.) A.

Attach Jamb to Studs 1. 2. Fig. 24 Temporarily fasten jamb to studs: A. SYSTEMS 1, 2 & 3 - Fasten using 3" screw through top and bottom pre-drilled anchor holes behind weatherstrip (Fig. 24). B. SYSTEM 4 - Tightly installed shims should be enough to hold unit. C. SYSTEM 5 - Fasten by partially driving one 3" finish nail through both the top and bottom shim of the sidelight jamb legs (Fig. 25). Attaching jamb to studs NOTE: Apply lubricant (wax or bar soap) to screw threads before driving screws. A.

Finishing Installation 1. Structurally secure sill as follows: NOTE: For wood framing, use #8x3" corrosion resistant screws. For concrete, use 3/16" x 2-1/2" self-tapping concrete screws. A. Coat threads of screws with sealant before insertion into hole. Fig. 29 B. Drill appropriate pilot holes as necessary. C. Cover top of screws with sealant. Da. If door has a traditional threshold, secure as follows (Fig. 29): • For single panel swing doors, place two structural screws 6" from each end.
