INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

for Swinging French and Patio Doors (JII105)

LANDINGS

These instructions

cover two 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 Steel, Fiberglass, Vinyl, and

Wood French and Patio 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.

Not all exterior 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.

Please Note! Any French or patio 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. Failure to install square, level and

plumb and on a at surface (without twist or warp) 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.
