Installation Instructions
for Pre-Hung Exterior Entry Doors (JII106)
Thank you for selecting JELD-WEN
®
products. Attached are
JELD-WEN’s recommended installation instructions for Exterior
Wood, Steel and Fiberglass Pre-Hung Doors. Read these instructions
thoroughly before beginning. Not all door types may be installed
into every wall condition in all areas. Consult your local building code
ofcial for applicable building codes and regulations. Local building
code requirements supersede recommended installation instructions.
JELD-WEN does not endorse the installation of our products into a
barrier-type install system unless a sill pan is present, incorporated
with through-wall ashing and can drain to the exterior (along with
other “required” components). Failure to do so may result in the denial
of any warranty claims. Areas such as Florida and the Texas TDI region
have different anchoring requirements based on product certication.
For information on specic products, visit www.oridabuilding.org
or www.tdi.texas.gov and follow the anchoring schedule given in
the drawings for the product instead of the anchoring schedule in
this document.

the patio door and any related warranty claims could
be denied on that basis.
