1 ROUGH OPENING PREPARATION
A. Verify the opening is plumb and level. Ensure the
bottom of the rough opening does not slope toward
the interior.
Note: It is critical that the bottom is level.
B. Verify the door will fit the opening. Measure all four
sides of the opening to make sure it is 1/2" larger than
the door in width and height. Measure the width at the
top, bottom, and center. Measure the height at the far
left side, the far right side, and in the center.
Note: 1-1/2" or more of solid wood blocking is
required around the perimeter of the opening. Fix any
problems with the rough opening before proceeding.
C. Cut the water resistive barrier (1C).

D. Fold the water resistive barrier (1D). Fold side flaps into
the opening and staple to inside wall. Fold top flap up and
temporarily fasten with flashing tape.
E. Apply sill flashing tape #1. Cut a piece of flashing tape 12"
longer than the opening width. Apply at the bottom of the
opening as shown (1E) so it overhangs 1" to the exterior.
Note: The tape is cut 12" longer than the width of the opening
so that it will extend up each side approximately 6".
F. Tab the sill flashing tape and fold. Cut 1" wide tabs at each
corner (1/2" from each side of corner) (1F). Fold tape to the
exterior and press firmly to adhere it to the water resistive barrier.
G. Apply sill flashing tape #2. Cut a piece of flashing tape 12" longer
than the opening width. Apply at the bottom, overlapping tape #1
by at least 1". DO NOT allow the tape to extend past the interior
face of the framing (1G).
Note: The flashing tape does not need to extend all the way to
the interior of the framing.

2 PREPARE THE DOOR FOR INSTALLATION
TWO OR MORE PEOPLE WILL BE REQUIRED TO HANDLE THE PANEL SAFELY.
A. Remove the packaging from the door. Inspect the frame and
sash for damage. DO NOT install damaged units.
Note: If screens or hardware are removed from the door at
this time, label them and store them in a protected area.
B. Relocate the slide panel bumper. Remove the bumper located at
the top of the fixed jamb, and install in the fixed jamb against the
sill track.

C. Remove the venting panel. Slide the panel to the open position,
making sure it clears the anti-lift clip. Lift the panel out of the
Ó
lower track and tilt the bottom of the panel away from the door
frame. Then, lower the panel out of the top track. Carefully set
the panel aside in a safe place.
REVERSING DOOR SLIDE: If changing the slide of the door
panel, refer to Installation Instructions (Reversing Door Slide)
later in this booklet. Note: Doors with Blinds-Between-the-Glass
are not reversible.
3 SETTING AND FASTENING THE DOOR
TWO OR MORE PEOPLE WILL BE REQUIRED FOR THE FOLLOWING STEPS.
IF INSTALLING ON A CONCRETE FLOOR, refer to Installation Instructions
(Bottom Fin Removal) later in this booklet.
A. Insert the door from the exterior of the building. Place
the bottom of the door at the bottom of the opening, then
tilt the top into position. Center the door between the sides
of the opening to allow equal clearance for shimming,
and insert one roofing nail in the first hole from the
corner on each end of the top nailing fin. These are
used to hold the door in place while shimming it
plumb and square.
Note: When installing doors without a bottom
fin, DO NOT slide the bottom of the door into the
opening, as sliding will damage the sealant lines. Insert
sill anchor screws prior to shimming.

B. Plumb and square door. Insert shims between the door and
the sides of the rough opening starting up 6" from the bottom
of the door. Also shim between the top of the door and the
rough opening above the fixed interlocker and at the mid-point
between the fixed interlocker and the lock jamb.
Note: DO NOT over shim.
