1.Carefully pry or cut off existing brickmould trim from the existing frame if installed.
2.To install the sill extender, tilt the extender up at 45 degree angle to hook onto nose of sill and line up flush with edges. Push the front of extender down and step on the extender to snap it into place.
3.Each side jamb extender is beveled on one end to fit the profile of the sloped sill. There is a right and a left piece. Place against the jamb flush with the inside of the jamb, with the beveled edge on the sill (high side of bevel towards door).
4.Mark the side jamb extenders flush with the top outside edge of jamb as shown and cut to
length. Pre-drill a 1/8" hole horizontally centered (or in the kerf (groove) if present) in each extender 1" from each end and 3 more evenly spaced between the first two in each extender.
5.Run a 1/4" bead of sealant along the bottom of
the extender where it is notched to contact the sill and up the length of extender that will be against jamb as shown.
