INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
for Wood Patio Doors with Exterior Trim or Nailing Fin (JII026)

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.
OPEN-STUD CONSTRUCTION
The wall framing needs to be covered by backing support before the
patio 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 non water-degradable, thin (max. 1/8"
thick) sheet material such as vinyl sheeting. 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.
