ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

for Custom Wood & Fiberglass Exterior Folding Door Systems (JII101)

LANDINGS

These instructions

cover two door

sill conditions: the

step-down landing

and the continuous

slab landing. The

installation methods

vary slightly between

landing types.

Newer construction methods have led to an increase in air and water

tightness in buildings. This frequently leads to negative air pressure

inside the house, which can draw water through very small openings.

Our installation method seals the door to the weather barrier (typically

building wrap) and uses a sill pan to capture and drain incidental storm

water from under the door.

Thank you for selecting JELD-WEN products. Attached are

JELD-WEN’s recommended installation instructions for Custom

Wood and Fiberglass Exterior Folding doors. Read these instructions

thoroughly before beginning. They are designed to work in most

existing applications, however; existing conditions may require

changes to these instructions. If changes are needed, they are made

at the installer’s risk. For installations other than indicated in these

instructions, contact a building professional. To adequately protect

your door, please refer to “Appropriate Protection for Exterior

Doors” for information on protection requirements at

www.jeld-wen.com.

Not all exterior door types may be installed into every wall condition

in all areas. See our Appropriate Protection document for overhang

requirements at www.jeld-wen.com. Consult your local building

code ofcial (or Authority having Jurisdiction) for applicable building

codes and regulations. Local building code requirements supersede

recommended installation instructions.

Please Note! Any door installation such that the sill is higher than

35 feet above ground level or into a wall condition not specically

addressed in these instructions must be designed by an architect or

structural engineer. We recommend that all non pre-nished wood or

berglass components be nished with an appropriate paint or stain

prior to installation. See our Finishing document for details at

www.jeld-wen.com. Failure to properly nish or install square, level

and plumb and on a at surface (without peak and valleys) could result

in denial of warranty claims for operational or performance problems.

Note to Installer: Provide a copy of these instructions to the building

owner. By installing this product, you acknowledge the terms and

conditions of the limited warranty as part of the terms of the sale.
