FULLY SHEATHED WALL CONSTRUCTION
The wall framing is
covered by sheathing
and the door will be
mounted with the
exterior trim ush
against the sheathing.
This installation
assumes building wrap
is properly installed
prior to installation.
OPEN-STUD CONSTRUCTION
The wall framing needs to be completely surrounded by backing
support (non water-degradable, thin (max. 1/8" thick) sheet material
such as plywood or lauan) before installing building wrap and the
door. The door will be mounted with the exterior trim ush against the
applied backing support.
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.
