INSTALL DOOR - CONTINUED
ADJUST SILL CAP (IF NECESSARY)
Verify the sweep properly
contacts the threshold
with 1/8" overlap as
shown. Door units are
manufactured so that, if
installed level and square,
the sweep will contact
the threshold properly,
making adjustments to
the sill cap unnecessary.
However, if adjustments
are needed, use a at
head screwdriver to
remove screw covers and
turn screw clockwise to
adjust the sill cap up.
Sills are shipped with sill
cap adjusted all the way
down.

of the inactive door
panel that secures the

3. Drill 3/8" holes (1"
deep) at these spots
and apply the strike
plates (provided) to
the sill cap and head
jamb as shown.
4. With the inactive door
closed, mark the head
jamb weatherstrip
with a sharp utility
knife at the edge
of the T-Astragal
where it touches the
weatherstrip. Open
the inactive door
and cut through
the weatherstrip
so that when the
door is closed the
weatherstrip clears the
T-Astragal.
