Step 2 – Installing Door Frame – Single Front Door Make sure the door is supported so it does not swing open during installation. Apply a generous amount of Exterior Grade Silicone on the subfloor where threshold will sit. This prevent drafts and moisture from penetrating through the bottom. Use entire tube when caulking along the sub floor. Lean the prehung door into the rough opening. Use 3” screws on the hinge side to temporarily hold the unit in position.

Step 3 – Adjusting Single Door Verify the door unit is square. To fasten, tighten the two screws installed earlier. Test door to make sure the door closes tightly against wheather stripping. To secure the frame on the hinge side, replace two hinge screws with 3” wood screws on each hinge. To Secure the frame on the lock side, drive in several 3” finishing screws. For the best apperance, tuck them behind the wheather stripping so they are not visable after installation.
