ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
for Custom Clad Lift and Slide Door Systems (JII040)
Thank you for selecting JELD-WEN products. Attached are JELD-WEN’s
recommended installation instructions for Custom Lift and Slide doors.
Read these instructions thoroughly before beginning. They are designed
to work in most existing applications, however; existing conditions
may require use of alternative methods to these instructions. If changes
are needed, they are made at the installer’s risk. For installations other
than indicated in these instructions, contact a building professional. To
adequately protect your door, please refer to “Appropriate Protection for
Exterior Doors” for information on protection requirements at
www.jeld-wen.com.
Newer construction methods have led to an increase in air and water
tightness in buildings. This frequently leads to negative air pressure
inside the house, which can draw water through very small openings. Our
installation method seals the door to the weather barrier (typically building
wrap) and uses a sill pan to capture and drain incidental storm water from
under the door to the exterior.
Not all exterior door types may be installed into every wall condition
in all areas. See our Appropriate Protection document for overhang
requirements at www.jeld-wen.com. Consult your local building
code ofcial (or Authority having Jurisdiction) for applicable building
codes and regulations. Local building code requirements supersede
recommended installation instructions.
Please Note! Any door installation such that the sill is higher than
35 feet above ground level or into a wall condition not specically
addressed in these instructions must be designed by an architect or
structural engineer. We recommend that all non pre-nished wood or
berglass components be nished with an appropriate paint or stain
prior to installation. See our Finishing document for details at
www.jeld-wen.com. Failure to properly nish or install square, level
and plumb and on a at surface (without peak and valleys) could result
in denial of warranty claims for operational or performance problems.
Note to Installer: Provide a copy of these instructions to the building
owner. By installing this product, you acknowledge the terms and
conditions of the limited warranty as part of the terms of the sale.
GLOSSARY
Astragal
The vertical trim attached to one of the panels of a sliding patio door
that bridges the gap between the panels when closed and provides
weather protection.
Backer Rod (backing material)
A material (e.g. foam rod) placed into a joint primarily to control the
depth of the sealant.
Buck
A wood framework attached to the masonry inside a window or a door
rough opening.
Continuous Air Seal
Backer rod and sealant or low expansion foam applied to the interior
gap between the product and the building in a continuous fashion
used to block air ow between the interior and exterior of the building
envelope.
Interlock
A weatherstrip component that runs vertically along the stiles of
either horizontal sliding sashes or sliding patio door panels. When the
window/door is closed, the interlocks engage, locking together, to
create a weather barrier.
Pilot Hole
A drilled hole that is no larger than the body of the screw (minus the
threads).
Rough Opening
The framed opening in a wall where a door is to be installed.
Shiplap
The layering method in which each layer overlaps the layer below it so
that water runs down the outside.
Sill Pan
A ashing component installed in the sill of the rough opening
underneath the door. Sill pans have upturned walls along the interior
edge and at both ends, creating a three sided box. This component
serves as a collection device to drain incidental water to the exterior of
the building and should be properly sealed to the opening. The best sill
pan design has a positive slope to the exterior and offers continuous
support to the door's sill.
Please allow sufcient time to properly prepare the rough opening,
install the door, and ensure its proper operation.

ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
for Custom Clad Lift and Slide Door Systems (JII040)
This installation guide specically 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/
Buck
masonry wall.
SAFETY AND HANDLING
SAFETY
• Read and fully understand ALL manufacturers’ instructions before
beginning. Failure to follow proper installation and nishing
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 ofces provide
information regarding regulations and lead protection.
FULLY SHEATHED WALL CONSTRUC TION
The wall framing is
covered by sheathing

MATERIALS AND DOOR HANDLING
• 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 on oor.
• Do not put stress on joints, corners or frames.
• Store 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.
IF INJURY OCCURS, IMMEDIATELY SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION!

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.
• Sill: Wood Sub Floor: #8 x 1 1/4" corrosion-resistant, pan-head screws;
Concrete Sub Floor: 1/4" diameter self-tapping concrete screws
(Tapcon®, or equivalent); length of screw must penetrate at least 1
1/4" into the sub oor. Side Jambs: #10 x 2 1/2" corrosion-resistant,
at-head screws; Head jamb: #10 x 2 1/2" corrosion-resistant, panhead screws.
• 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: We recommend OSI® QUAD® Max Sealant or equivalent. This
can be used in any application and can be painted or ordered in a
color matched product, if desired.

MATERIALS AND TOOLS - CONTINUED
• Backer rod 1/8" larger than the widest portion of the gap (used in
conjunction with sealant bead).
• Polyurethane low expansion Window and Door foam: We recommend
OSI® QUAD® Foam or equivalent).
• 4", 6", or 9" (as required by local code and window conguration)
wide self-adhesive ashing: We recommend OSI® QUAD® Butyl
Flashing Tape or equivalent.
• 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)
