INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

for Custom Wood and Fiberglass Door Systems (JII100)

Thank you for selecting JELD -WEN products. Attached are JELD-WEN’s recommended installation instructions for Custom Wood and Fiberglass doors. Read these instructions thoroughly before beginning. They are designed to work in most existing applications, however; existing conditions may require changes to these instructions. If changes are needed, they are made at the installer’s risk. For installations other than indicated in these instructions, contac t 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/resources.

Not all door types may be installed into every wall condition in all areas. Consult your local building code ofcial for applicable building codes and regulations. Local building code requirements supersede recommended installation instructions.

Please Note! Doors must be installed square, level and plumb and on

a at surface (without twist or warp). We also recommend that all components be nished prior to installation. See our recommended

Composite Jamb Routing and Installation Tips

1. Fastener and shim spacing should be set

at 16" or less.

2. To fasten the jamb parts to the stud wall,

pre-drill and countersink for at least 2" fastening screws under the area covered by the weatherstrip.

3. Make sure all countersunk holes are deep

enough to accommodate the screw heads, and avoid over-torquing when driving. The composite jamb material has 10 times the holding power of wood and for that reason we recommend that a light coat of screw lube or wax be applied to all hinge and assembly screws prior to driving.

4. Indicate shims to fasten through. Make

sure to locate one set of shims under each hinge.

5. At least one screw per hinge should be

long enough to run through shim into the supporting wall stud.

6. For radius systems, make especially sure

that the unit is sitting at on a level oor and shim the head area with the door in place to insure that the factory radius is maintained and that there is an even reveal around the door. An uneven oor may make it difcult to maintain the radius without trimming one jamb leg or shimming the sill.

7. Finish nails are best driven with a

compressed air nail gun. Due to the density of the material, it may be necessary to use slightly more air pressure than one would use for softwood. The pressure required should be similar to that needed for hard, dense woods such as oak. As a cautionary note, due to the nail holding power of the composite materials, it may be difcult to extract a mis-red nail. Should that happen to occur, consider cutting the nail off and driving any remaining portion beneath the surface.

8. Although it is possible to prepare for a

hinge or strike plate with a chisel, we strongly recommend that the strike prep be done with a router, collett and jig. If necessary, the corners can be easily squared with a chisel. The images show three examples of templates used with 1/2" bits and 5/8" collets for common hinge and strike plate applications. The few minutes it takes to fabricate the jig out of 5/8" plywood or MDF will be more than offset after just a couple doors.

Prepare the Rough Opening

Step-down landing

Fig. 1 Cut building wrap

Continuous slab landing

Fig. 2 Apply sealant across sill

These instructions cover two door sill conditions: the step-down landing and the continuous slab landing. The installation methods vary slightly between the two landing types.

Prepare the rough opening. The rough opening is to be 3/4" wider and 3/4" taller

than the net outside jamb dimension of the unit. Check oor for level (measurements must be within 1/8"). Check walls or studs for straightness (measurements must be within 1/4") and plumb (measurements must be within 1/8"). Correct before installing.

For doors with a curved transom top, see diagram 1 “Door with Curved

Transo m Top”. Rough opening must be level (measurements must be within 1/8") before starting; adjust as needed.

1. Clean rough opening and surrounding sheathing with a clean, dry cloth, beginning at the top.

2. Trim building wrap ush with rough opening on header and sides; and sill edge if door has a rise. Apply ve 3/8" beads of sealant across the sill as follows (Fig. 2):

• One 1/2" from the interior and exterior edge.

• One across the center of the sill.

• One on each side where the jambs meet the oor.

Diagram 1. Door with Curved Transom Top

• Ensure framing is sufcient around transom perimeter to allow exterior trim to be nailed every 8" to the structure.

• Prepare rough opening in same manner as for standard door (Fig. A).

• Install transom top in same manner as for regular door except for the following:

- Apply ashing support in short 6"-12" sections around the curved

perimeter.

- Apply conformable self-adhesive ashing to backside of ashing

support and frame.

- Apply 6" wide conformable self-adhesive ashing onto ashing

support, sheathing, and building wrap around curved edge (Fig. B).

Prepare Sill Pan - The sill pan is a three-sided box made of plastic sheet material that sits in on

the rough opening. It is designed to catch water that inltrates the rough opening and divert it to the outside. This prevents damage from water collecting on the rough opening sill. Door installations that have a step-down landing (as opposed to a door that sits directly on a continuous slab) have slightly different sill pans.

1. Prepare the sill pan as follows (Fig. 3):

• For a 2" x 4" wall, the width of the plastic sheeting should be at least 6".

Fig. 3 Sill pan template

Fig. 4 Fold sill pan

• For a 2" x 6" wall, the width of the plastic sheeting should be at least 9".

• The length should be determined by measuring the length of the rough opening plus 1".

2. Crease lines in sill pan using a straight edge as follows (Fig. 3):

• Lightly crease a line inset 1/2" along both ends and one side of the plastic sheeting.

• Measure the width of the door frame (not including the brickmold), and add 9/16".

• Take this distance and measure out from the back side; crease a line the length of the plastic sheeting.

3. Cut 1/2" in on both ends of this line (Fig. 3).

4. Fold the sill pan as follows:

• Fold the three 1/2" sides up; use duckbill pliers to fold corners to outside of pan on short sides (Fig. 4).
