SAFETY
•Read and fully understand ALL manufacturers’ instructions before
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.
•Wear protective gear (e.g. safety glasses, gloves, ear protection, etc.).
•Operate hand/power tools safely and follow manufacturer’s operating
instructions.
•Use caution when working at elevated heights.
•If disturbing existing paint, take proper precautions if lead paint is
suspected (commonly used before 1979). Your regional EPA (www.
epa.gov/lead) or Consumer Product Safety Commission ofces provide
information regarding regulations and lead protection.
SAFETY AND HANDLING
FULLY SHEATHED / OPEN-STUD WALL CONSTRUCTION
Fully sheathed wall
framing is covered
by sheathing. This
installation assumes

properly installed
prior to patio door
installation.
Open-Stud walls
are not covered by
sheathing.
MATERIALS AND PATIO DOOR HANDLING
•Make sure the operating panel is secured prior to installation.
•Heed material manufacturers’ handling and application instructions.
•Protect adhesive surfaces from dirt, moisture, direct sunlight and
folding over onto themselves.
•Handle in vertical position; do not drag.
•Do not put stress on joints, corners or frames.
•Store patio door in dry, well-ventilated area in vertical, leaning
position to allow air circulation; do not stack horizontally.
•Protect from exposure to direct sunlight during storage.
•Install only into vertical walls and when conditions and sheathing are
dry.

MATERIALS AND TOOLS
PROVIDED MATERIALS
•4 - #10 x 2 1/2" screws (to secure the strike plate)
•Vinyl caps to cover screw holes
NEEDED MATERIALS
Note! Follow all material manufacturers’ instructions for proper use
and compatibility. When using ashing, spray adhesive/primer, sealant
and foam products, we recommend using the same manufacturer and
verifying compatibility.
•#8 x 1 1/4" (minimum) washer head or pan head corrosion-resistant
screws (stainless steel recommended). Fasteners must penetrate at
least 1" into framing.
•3/16" x 2 1/2" self-tapping concrete screws (if required to secure the
sill into concrete/masonry).
•Non compressible or water degradable shims.
• Sill pan: It is best practice to use a pre-formed, rigid, positively sloped, pvc
pan that provides continuous support. We recommend using SureSill™
Sloped Sill Pan™ , manufactured by SureSill™, Ltd. An alternative would
be a non-sloped pre-formed sill pan or one can be fabricated on site
from metal or vinyl sheet material with the proper tools.
•Sealant: If left exposed use 100% silicone. If painted use a
polyurethane such as OSI
®
TeQ::Seal™ or Protecto Wrap Protecto
Sealant 25XL or equivalent.
•Backer rod 1/3 larger than gap (used in conjunction with sealant
bead).
•Polyurethane low expansion Window and Door foam (such as OSI
®
TeQ::Foam™ or Dow Great Stuff™ Window and Door or equivalent).
•4", 6", or 9" (as required by local code) wide self-adhesive ashing
(such as OSI
®
TeQ::Flash™ butyl or Protecto Wrap BT25XL or
equivalent 100% butyl ashing (for use with sill pan material).
•Drip cap if required because of door location and exposure. Doors with
an adequate overhang (see our Appropriate Protection document at
www.jeld-wen.com) may not need a drip cap. In addition to sill pans,
SureSill™ also offers types of head ashing.
For installations into a Buck:
•Liquid applied ashing (Protecto Wrap LWM 200 or equivalent).
