ROUGH OPENINGS
SAFETY AND HANDLING
OPEN-STUD CONSTRUCTION
The wall framing
needs to be covered
by backing support
before the door can
be installed. The
door will be mounted
with the nailing n/
exterior trim ush
against the applied
backingsupport.
This backing support
should be a thin (max.
1/8" thick) sheet
material such as plywood or lauan. Completely surround the rough
opening with the backing support as shown. Backing support must be
applied before building wrap.
This installation guide specically addresses masonry/block wall,
sheathed wall and open-stud construction.
MASONRY/BLOCK WALL CONSTRUCTION
This installation assumes
that a building professional
has already properly
fastened and sealed a
framework of studs (often
called a buck) to the
concrete/masonry wall.
FULLY SHEATHED WALL CONSTRUCTION
The wall framing is covered
by sheathing and the door
will be mounted with the
nailing n/exterior trim ush
against the sheathing. This
installation assumes building
wrap is properly installed
prior toinstallation.

beginning. Failure to follow proper installation instructions may result in
the denial of warranty claims for operational or performance problems.
• Do not work alone. Two or more people are required. Use safe
liftingtechniques.
• Use caution when handling glass. Broken or cracked glass can cause
serious injury.
