Assembly and Installation Instructions
for F-2500 Fiberglass Folding Patio Doors (JII-90008)
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 uses a sill pan
to capture and drain incidental storm water from under the door to the exterior.
Thank you for selecting JELD-WEN products. Attached are
JELD-WEN’s recommended installation instructions for F-2500 Fiberglass
Folding Patio Doors. Read these instructions thoroughly before
beginning. They are designed to work in most existing applications,
however; existing conditions may require use of alternative methods 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. 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.floridabuilding.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.

Finishing of door and frame components prior to installation is
recommended. To nish your doors, please see our document JCM004,
Finishing and Renishing Instructions for Interior and Exterior Door
Slabs and Systems located on our website at jeld-wen.com. Finish all
six surfaces (both sides and edges) of the door slab, including cutouts
for hardware, as well as the frame to ensure proper protection from the
elements. Finish the raw oak interior surface with two applications of clear
coat. Fiberglass door slabs MUST be nished within thirty (30) days of
purchase. Failure to nish the door slab and frame as instructed may result
in the denial of warranty claims for operational or performance problems.
