ation. If you remain unclear, please

seek more professional assistance with the installation.

Different parts of the country have different code requirements, which may not be covered in these instructions. The installer is responsible for insuring the installation complies with local codes. If you have unique code requirements that do not appear please contact 1-800-THERMATRU.

Required Tools

& Materials: 2 & 6 foot Levels, Hammer, Putty Knives

(firm & flexible), Framing Square, Caulking Gun, Sturdy Ladder, Shims, Tape Measure, High Quality Elastomeric or Polyurethane Sealant, Screw Gun/Drill -1/8 inch Drill Bit, Razor Knife, #2 & #3 Philips Bit, Stapler, Insulating Material, Eye Protection, Water Resistive Barrier, Flashing Material, #8 x 2-1/2 inch Exterior Grade Screws, & Optional

Sill Pan.

Read all instructions before starting.

Therma-Tru Recommended Best Practices

Use Water Resistive Barrier and Flexible Flashing:

We recommend the use of a Water Resistive Barrier (WRB) applied to the exterior sheathing (OSB or other) and the use of an adhesive or flexible flashing product to seal around the opening. The WRB should be cut in the opening (follow manufacturer’s guidelin

es) with the head of the flap taped up, to be sealed later in Step 11. The flashing should be applied in an overlapping manner as shown, always working from the bottom up (follow manufacturer’s guidelines).

Use a Sill Pan:

We recommend you first “dry fit” the sill pan in the opening, following the instructions furnished with the sill pan. Place the right and left sill pan ends tight against the sides of the opening. Check the center section for proper length and if necessary, cut with a hack saw or tin snips. Be sure to allow 2 inches of overlap at the joints.

Note: Use only the PVC cement provided in the sill pan kit to glue the pieces together. The sill pan must be sealed to the sub-floor using an Elastomeric or Polyurethane sealant, but do not apply sealant to the bottom of the sill when using a sill pan.

Step 1: Check Door Unit.

Check width and height.

Measure size of frame (width and height), not brickmould.

Remove cleats and packaging, but keep door fastened closed with transport clip. Do Not remove the transport clip until instructed to d

so later in Step 7.

Step 2: Check and Prepare Opening.

Is the opening the correct size for th

door unit? Check it against the door frame size now, before installation. The opening should be frame height plus 1/2 inch, and frame width plus 1/2 inch t

3/4 inch. Fix any problems now.

Are the framing and walls PLUMB? Use a 6 foot level and check both sides of th

opening, both ways (front to back and right to left). Fix any problems now.

Is the sub floor level and solid? Provid

a flat, level, clean weight bearing surface so the sill pan or sill can be properly caulked and sealed to the opening. Scrape sand or fill as required.

Note: If additional floor covering clearance is required, attach the shim board to the sub floor. Be sure to caulk well under the shim board.

Is the opening square? Check all corners with a framing square. Double check by comparing diagonal measurements. Fix any problems now.

Installation

SITE 1 2014 1.3

Installation

Step 2 cont.: Check and Prepare Opening.

Check to be sure the framing walls around the opening are in the same plane. Do this by performing a “string test” for plumb.

String Test for Plumb: Attach a string diagonally across the opening from the outside, as shown. The string(s) should gently touch in the center, if not the opening is “out of plumb” by twice that distance and needs to be corrected. Flip the string over itself to check

both planes. Fix any problems now.

*An “out of plumb” condition is one of the most common reasons door units leak air and water.

Step 3: Caulk the Sub Floor.

On the sub floor at opening, place 3 very large beads of sealant. Run beads full width of the opening.

Use Only Elastomeric or Polyurethane sealant.

Use an Entire Tube when Caulking along the Sub Floor.

Step 3A: Installation with a Sill Pan.

Place the right and left sill pan ends onto the caulk beads and tightly against the side of the opening.

Then, liberally coat the overlapped areas and the recessed areas of the pieces with the PVC cement provided. Place center section(s) in position and hold pieces together long enough to ensure a good bond.

For added protection, spread a bead of caulk al

ong the glue joints and to prevent air infiltration, run a bead of caulk along the lower interior edge of the sill pan. Additional caulking could affect the performance of the sill pan.

Do Not Caulk the bottom of the Sill when using a sill Pan.

Step 3B: Installation without a Sill Pan.

Lay the door unit on edge or face so that the bottom surface of the sill can be caulked. Place very large beads of caulk across the full width of the sill. Additionally, place beads of caulk along the junction of the sill and the jamb and on the bottom surface of the jambs and brickmould.

Note: If a sill extender is used, place a large bead of caulk at the junction of the extender and the sill approach.

Step 3 cont.: Caulking Back side of Brickmould.

Important!

Apply sealant to the back side of brickmould around the entire perimeter of the door unit. A 1/2 – 5/8 inch bead of Elastomeric or Polyurethane caulk is essential.

Step 4: Place Unit in Opening and Temporarily Fasten.

Lift the unit up. With top edge tilted away from opening, center the unit and place sill down onto sill pan or caulk beads and tilt into opening.

For all door unit configurations, note the hinge locations and mark those locations on the jamb faces near the door surfaces. Pre-drill 1/8 inch diameter holes at these locations for screw placement. A counter sink bit will help to conceal the screw heads.

Install screws in the center pre-drilled hole locations on both jambs to temporarily secure the unit in the place. Do not drive screws completely in at this time. Use #8 X 2-1/2 inch or 3 inch exterior grade screws.

Do Not Fasten through the Brickmould.

Step 4 cont.: Plumb Hinge Side Jamb.

Work from side of the door that is weather-stripped.

Use a 6 foot level and plumb the hinge side jamb both ways (right to left and inside to outside).

Place screws through the hinge side jamb into the studs, at each remaining hinge location, as shown in the diagrams. Use #8 X 2-1/2 inch or 3 inch exterior grade screws.

Do Not drive the screws completely in at this time.

For Single or Double Doors, place screws at each hinge location, so shims can be placed behind hinges above screws. The screws will keep the shims from falling down while adjustments are being made.

For Sidelite units, fasten the jamb on the hinge side of the door.

For Double Door and Patio Units, fasten the fixed or passive side of the unit first.

Single Unit Sidelite Unit Double Unit

Pre-Hung Unit Installation

Step 5: Shim at Hinge Locations and Secure Hinge jamb.

Leave door fastened and closed with transport clip.

Shim above screws, behind each hinge location, between the opening and the jamb.

Use a 6 foot level and re-check hinge jamb to ensure it is plumb and straight.

Finish driving screws tight in the middle first then top and bottom last.

Step 6: Adjust Rest of Frame and Fasten.

From the weatherstrip side of the door, check weatherstrip margins and contact.

Make frame adjustments so the weatherstrip contacts the door surface equally at the top, middle and bottom, an even 3/8 inch to 1/2 inch when fully closed.

Secure the lock side jamb with #8 X 2-1/2 or 3 inch screws through the predrilled holes at the top and bottom. Do Not

drive screws tight at this time.

From the swing side of the door, shim above the screw locations and make adjustments so the margins between the door and frame are even top to bottom.

Note: For Double Doors, make adjustments that effect the alignment, margins and weatherstrip contact between the doors. Also follow the Astragal Site Package Instructions for details on properly setting the slide

bolt hole

locations.

Step 6 cont: Adjust Rest of Frame and Fasten.

Re-check everywhere for plumb and square, and an even weatherstrip contact.

Finish driving all screws tight.

Step 7: Remove Transport Clip and Open Door.

Remove the transport clip.

Open and close door to check for smooth operation.

With the door open, drill 1/8 inch diameter pilot holes in the top hinge in the 2 screw hole locations closest to the weatherstrip. Then, install the #10 X 2-1/2 inch screws (provided) through the hinge, into the stud, to anchor the door frame and prevent sagging.

Step 7 cont.: Remove Transport Clip and Open Door.

For Sidelite and Patio Units: With the door open, check to determine if the 21/2 inch long hinge screws were pre-installed in the hinges. If not, drill 1/8 inch diameter pilot holes and install the long hinge screws in the hole locations closest to the weatherstrip.

Close the door and carefully shim between the jamb and the opening behind

the adjustable strike plate area.

Then open the door and drill 1/8 inch dia. pilot holes and install the #8 X 2-1/2 inch screws (provided) through the strike plate holes to secure the lock side jamb and provide security.

Adjust strike plate in or out for proper weatherstrip contact and door operation, then finish tightening screws.

Step 8: Adjust Sill.

Your door unit may have an adjustable threshold cap. When properly adjusted, it should be snug and slightly difficult to pull a dollar bill out from under the door when it is fully closed. The dollar bill should be able to be removed without tearing.

This check should be performed at each adjustment screw location.

After adjusting the threshold cap, ensure that the weatherstrip is flush with the top of the threshold cap. Trim as necessary.

Step 9: Install Corner Seal Pads – Inswing units Only.

Apply sealant (Polyurethane or Elastomeric) at the joint where the threshold cap meets the door jambs.

Remove the self-stick paper from the corner seal pads and apply to the door jamb, with the bottom lined up evenly with the top of the threshold cap. When the pad is correctly installed, the tab is on top and the narrow part is on the bottom.

The bottom of the pad is the same width of the threshold cap to help with alignment during installation.

Step 10: Additional Frame Anchoring.

If sill is prepared for anchoring screws, place appropriate screws through the sill into the sub floor where needed. (Primarily on Outswing Sills)

We recommend that you provide additional frame anchoring as shown here. Certain states or jurisdictions, notably Florida and the coast of Texas, have specific installation requirements and may require installation in strict accordance with the product approval for a specific product. You should always check with the local authority having jurisdiction for any specific installation requirements that may apply. Specific product approval installation instructions, including those required for the High Velocity Zone (HVHZ), are also available at

Step 10 cont.: Additional Frame Anchoring.

Doors with Sidelites:

Shim above mull post or jambs separating doors and sidelites. Screw through the frame into the header, adjacent to the shims.

Double doors:

Place temporary shims above the center of the head frame, where doors meet. Pre-drill and insert a screw through frame into header, then remove the temporary shims.

Patio Doors:

Shim above the mull post(s), Pre-drill and insert a scre

w through the frame into the header, at either side of the post.

Step 11: Weatherproof, Finish and Maintain.

Provide and maintain a properly installed cap or head flashing to protect top of surfaces from Water intrusion and damage. Tape and properly seal the top flap of the Water Resistive Barrier (WRB) over the head flashing.

Caulk around entire “weather” side of unit, sealing along the brickmould to the flashing material or siding and seal all joints betwee

n the jambs and moldings.

Seal the joints between the exterior hardware trim and the door face to prevent air and water infiltration.

Place and set galvanized finish nails through the brickmould around the perimeter. Use exterior grade screws if you are installing a storm door to the brickmould. Countersink all fasteners and cover with exterior grade putty.

Add insulation material to the cavi

ty between the opening and the unit to

reduce air infiltration and heat transfer.

All Therma-Tru Steel doors must be finished within several days of the installation date for continued warranty coverage. For Fiberglass doors the finishing requirement is within 6 months of installation.

Paint or stain according to Therma Tru Finishing instructions. Do Not paint or stain the weatherstrip, it is “

friction-fit” and easily removed for painting or

staining.

All 6 sides of the doors must be finished. For out-swing doors the sides, top and bottom must be inspected and maintained as regularly as all other surfaces.

All bare wood surfaces such as the door frame exposed to weather should be primed and painted or stained and top coated within two weeks of exposure for best performance.

Maintain

or replace sealants and finishes as soon as any deterioration is evident. For semi-gloss or glossy paint or clear coats, do this when the surface becomes dull or rough. More severe climates and exposures will require more frequent maintenance.

for printable versions of the installation and Same Day Stain finishing instructions and to view our Troubleshooting video for minor installation issues and adjustments.

Finishing Instructions.

Work only when temperatures are between 50°and 90°F and with humidity less than 85%. Do not finish in direct sunlight.

Steel and Smooth-Star® Doors:

To paint Doors: Clean first with mild detergent and water or use a TSP (tri-

sodium phosphate) solution. Rinse well and allow to dry completely. Mask off hardware, glass and remove weatherstripping before painting. Use highquality acrylic latex house paint, following manufacturer’s directions for application. Use exterior grade finishes for outside surfaces. Paint edges and exposed ends of door.

To Paint Doorlite Frames: Remove any excess glass glazing sealant by first spraying with a window cleaner or water. Use a single edge razor blade to score the glazing along the edge of the frame. Holding the razor blade at a 45 degree angle, scrape glazing from glass. Wipe remaining residue off with window cleaner or mineral spirits. Clean frame with a mild detergent and water, or use a TSP solution. Rinse well and allow to dry completely. Mask off glass. Prime door lite frames with an alkyd- or acrylic-based primer. Allow primer to dry before applying finish paint coats. Use high-quality acrylic latex house paint, following manufacturer’s application instructions. Use exterior grade finishes for outside surfaces.

Classic-Craft® and Fiber-Classic® Doors: To Finish Doorlite Frames and Panel Inserts:

Remove any excess glazing sealant by first spraying with a window cleaner or water. Use a single edge razor blade to score the glazing along the edge of the frame. Holding the razor blade at a 45° angle, scrape glazing from glass. Wipe remaining residue off with window cleaner or mineral spirits. Mask off glass. Paint or stain using same materials as for the door. (See below).

To Paint Doors:

Clean first with mild detergent and water or use a TSP (tri-sodium phosphate) solution. Rinse well and allow to dry completely. Prime with an alkyd- or acrylic-based primer. Allow primer to dry completely, then paint with acrylic latex house paint, following paint manufacturer’s application instructions. Use a primer and paint that are compatible. Use exterior grade finishes for outside surfaces. Paint edges and exposed ends of door.

To Stain Doors:

Clean first with a clean cloth and mineral spirits and allow to air dry or wash door with mild detergent and water, or a TSP (tri-sodium phosphate) solution. Rinse well and allow to dry completely. For stained surfaces, we only recommend the use of the stain and clear coat products found in the Therma- Tru Same-Day Stain™ Finishing Kit. Apply stain with a rag. The longer the stain is left to “setup” before wiping off, the darker the color will be. Using a clean rag, wipe off the stain to the color shade you desire. Remove any excess stain from the panel grooves with the foam brush provided; allow the stain to dry for at least 6 hours before applying topcoat. See Therma-Tru Same-Day Stain™ Finishing Kit instructions for complete details.

Recomendamos el uso de barreras res istentes al a gua (WRB,

por sus siglas en inglés) ap licadas al revestimiento exterior

(OSB u otras) y el uso de productos adhesivos o de tapajuntas

flexibles para sellar el perímetro de la abertura. Se debe cortar

la WRB en la abertura (siga las pa utas de l fabricante) co n e l

cabezal de la lengüeta cubierta con cinta adhesi

va, para

sellarla después en el paso 11. Se debe aplicar el tapajuntas de

manera superpuesta, como se muestra, siempre co menzando

desde la parte inferior hacia arriba (siga las pautas del

fabricante).

Issued 4/11 Rev.G Part# MSDRIST65

Use un revestimiento para alféizar: recomendamos que primero compruebe que el

revestimiento para alféizar cabe en la abertura siguiendo las instrucciones incluidas con

éste. Coloque los extremos derecho e izquierdo del revestimiento para alféizar contra los

costados de la abertura. Compruebe que la sección central tenga el largo adecuado y, de

ser necesario, córtela con una sierra de mano o tijeras para hojalata. Asegúrese de dejar

5,08 centímetros de superposición para las uniones.

Nota: Use sólo el cemento PVC incluido en el kit de revestimiento para alféizar para unir

las piezas. El alféizar se debe sellar al subsuelo con un sellador elastomérico o de

poliuretano, pero no aplique se llador a la parte inferior del alféizar usando un

revestimiento para alféizar

Paso 1: revise la puerta.

Revise el ancho y alto.

Mida el tamaño del marco (ancho y alto), no de la moldura.

Retire las tablitas y e l empaque, pero mantenga la puerta

fijamente cerrada con e l sujetador para transporte. No retire el

sujetador para transporte hasta que se le indique hacerlo más

adelante en el paso 7.

Paso 2: revise y prepare la abertura.

¿La abertura es del tamaňo correcto para

la puerta? Compárela con el tamaňo del

marco de la puerta ahora, antes de la

instalación. La abertura debe tener el

alto del marco más 1.27 cm y el ancho

del macro más 1,27 a 1,91 c m. Resuelva

cualquier problema en este momento.

¿Los marcos y las paredes están A

PLOMO? Use un nivel de 6 pies y

revise ambos lados de la abertura, de las

dos maneras (del frente hacia atrás y de

derecha a izquierda). Resuelva

cualquier problema en este momento.

¿El subsuelo está nivelado y sólido? Proporcione u na superficie plana, nivelada y

limpia que soporte el peso, de m anera que se pueda aplicar masilla de calafateo y sellar

de forma adecuada el revestimiento para alféizar o el alféizar a la abertura. Raspe, lije

o rellene según se necesite.

Nota: si se necesita una separación adicional de la cobertura del piso, fije la tabla de

calza al subsuelo. Asegúrese de calafatear bien bajo la tabla de calza.

¿La aber tura está a escuadra? Revise todas las esquinas con una escuadra de enmarcar.

Revise dos veces comparando las medidas diagonales. R esuelva cualquier problema en

este momento.

Paso 2, cont.: revise y prepare la abertura.

Aseqúrese de que las paredes que enmarcan el perímetro de la abertura están en el mismo plano. Hágalo realizando una prueba con un cordel para verificar que está a plomo.

Prueba con cordel para verificar que está a plo mo: Coloque

un cordel que cruce diagonalmente la abertura desde el

exterior, como se muestra. Los cordeles se deben tocar

suavemente en

el centro, de lo contrario, la abertura está

“fuera de plomo” por el doble de dicha distancia y se debe

corregir. Voltee el cordel sobre sí mismo para verificar

ambos planos. Resuelva cualquier problema en este

momento.

El estado “fuera de plomo” es una de las razones más

comunes por las que las puertas sufren fugas de aire y agua

Paso 3: Aplique masilla de calafateo en el subsuelo.

Coloque 3 cordones de sellador muy grandes en el

subsuelo de la abertura. E xtienda los cordones hasta

alcanzar el ancho total de la abertura.

Use sólo sellador elastomérico o de poliuretano.

Use un tubo completo para calafatear a lo largo del

subsuelo.

Paso 3A: instalación con un revestimiento para alféizar.

Coloque los extremos derecho e izquierdo del revestimiento para alféizar en los cordones

de masilla de calafateo y firmemente contra el costado de la abertura.

Luego, cubra generosamente las áreas superpuestas de las piezas con el cemento PVC

incluido. Coloque las secciones centrales en posición y mantenga juntas las pieza s el

tiempo sufic

iente para asegurar la formación de una buena adhesión.

Para obtener protección adicio nal, esparza un cordón de masilla de calafateo a lo largo de

las uniones de adhesivo y, para evitar la fil tración de aire, extienda un cordón de masilla

de calafateo a lo largo del borde interior inferior de l revestimiento para alféizar. Colocar

masilla de calafateo adicional puede afectar el rendimiento del rev

estimiento para

alféizar.

No calafatee l a parte inferior del alféizar cuando use un revestimiento para alféizar

Paso 3B: instalación sin un revestimiento para alféizar.

Coloque la puerta sobre su borde o frente, de

manera que se pueda calafatear la superficie

inferior del alféizar. Coloque co rdones de

masilla de ca lafateo muy grandes a lo largo

de todo el ancho de l alféizar. Además,

coloque cordones de masilla de calafateo a lo

largo de la unión del alféizar y la jamba y en

la s uperficie inferior de las ja

mbas y las

molduras.

Nota: si usa una extensión para alféizar, coloque un cordón de masilla de calafateo

grande en la unión de la extensión y la entrada de l alféizar.

Paso 3, cont.: calafateo de la parte posterior de la moldura.

¡Importante!

Aplique sellador a la parte posterior de la

moldura, en todo el perímetro de la puerta.

Es fundamental colocar un cordón de

masilla de calafateo elastomérica o de

poliuretano de 1,27 a 1,59 cm.

Paso 4: coloque la unidad en la abertura y fije temporalmente.

Levante la unidad. Incline e l borde superior

alejándolo de la abertura y centre la unidad; coloque

el alféizar en el revestimiento para alféizar o los

cordones de masilla de calafateo e inclínelo hacia la

abertura.

Tenga presente la ubicación de las bisagras para todas

las configuraciones de las puertas y márquelas en el

frente de las jambas, cerca de las superficies de la

puerta. Pretaladre orificios de 0,32 cm de diámetro en

estas ubicaciones para colocar los tornillos. Puede

ocultar las cabezas de los tornillos s i usa una broca

para avellanar.

Instale los tornillos en la ubicación del orificio

pretaladrado central de ambas jambas para asegurar la

unidad temporalmente en el lugar. No coloque los tornillos completa mente en este

momento. Use tornillos para exteriores de #8 X 2 -1/2 ó 3 pulgadas.

No los apriete a través de la moldura.

Paso 4, cont.: coloque a plomo el lado de las bisagras de la jamba.

Comience a trabajar desde el lado con burletes de la puerta.

Use un nivel de 6 pies y coloque a plo mo el lado de las bisagras de las ja mbas de las dos

maneras (de derecha a izquierda y del interior al exterior).

Haga pasar los t ornillos a través del lado d e las bisagras de la jamba hasta los montantes,

en cada una de las ubicaciones de las bisagras restantes como se muestra en los

diagramas. Use tornillos para exteriores de #8 X 2-1/2 ó 3 pulgadas.

No coloque los tornillos completamente en este momento.

En el caso de las puertas simples y d obles, coloque los tornillos e n cada una de las

ubicaciones de las bisagras, de manera que se pueda colocar las calzas tras las bisagras y

sobre los tornillos. Los tornillos evitarán que las calzas se caigan mientras se realizan

ajustes.

En el ca so de las unidades con vidrieras laterales, apriete la ja mba en el lado de las

bisagras de la puerta.

En el caso de las unidades de puerta doble y para patio, apriete primero el lado fijo o

pasivo de la unidad.

Paso 5: coloque calzas en las ubicaciones de las bisagras y asegure la jamba con bisagras.

Deje la puerta fija y cerrada con el sujetador para transporte.

Coloque calzas sobre los tornillos, detrás de cada ubicación de

las bisagras, entre la abertura y la jamba.

Use un nivel de 6 pies y vuelva a verificar la jamba con

bisagras para asegurarse de que está a plomo y recta.

Termine de apretar primero los tornillos del medio, luego los

de la parte superior y finalmen

te los de la parte inferior.

Paso 6: ajuste el resto del marco y apriete.

Verifique los márgenes y contactos de los burletes

desde el lado de la puerta que los tiene.

Ajuste el marco de mane ra que los burletes hagan

contacto con la s uperficie de la puerta de la misma

manera en la parte superior, la parte del medio y la

parte inferior, una distancia pareja de 0,95 a 1,27

centímetros cuando está completamente cerrada.

Asegure la jamba del lado del seguro con tornillos de #8 X 2-1/2 ó 3 pulgadas a través de

los orificios pretaladrados en la parte superior e inferior. No apriete los tornillos en este

momento.

Coloque calzas sobre las ubicaciones de tornillos desde el lado de apertura de la puerta y

realice ajustes de manera que los márgenes entre la puerta y el marco queden parejos

desde la parte superior a la inferio

Nota: en e l caso de las puertas dobles, realice aj ustes que tengan efecto sobre la

alineación, los márgenes y el contacto de los burletes entre las puertas. Además, siga las

instrucciones del paquete del sitio de Astragal para obtener detalles sobre la

configuración adecuada de la ubicación de los orificios para el cerrojo.

Paso 6, cont.: ajuste el resto del marco y apriete.

Vuelva a verificar que todos los lugares estén a plomo y a

escuadra y que los burletes estén en contacto de manera pareja

Termine de apretar todos los tornillos.

Paso 7: retire el sujetador para transporte y abra la puerta.

Retire el sujetador para transporte.

Abra y cierre la puerta para verificar que funciona

correctamente

Con la puerta abierta, taladre orificios guía de 0,32 cm

de diámetro e n la bisagra superior, en las 2 ubicaciones

de los orificios para tornillos más cercanas al burlete.

Luego, instale los tornillos de #10 X 2-1/2 pulgadas

(incluido

s) a través de la bisagra, pasando por el

montante, para anclar el marco de la puerta y evitar que

quede suelta.

Paso 7, cont.: retire el sujetador para transporte y abra la puerta.

Para unidades con vidriera lateral y para patio: con la puerta abierta, verifique y

determine s i se instalaron pre viamente los tornillos para bisagra largos de 2-1/2” en las

bisagras. De no ser así, taladre orificios guía de 0,32 cm de diámetro e instale los tornillos

largos para bisagra en las ubicaciones de orificio más cercanas al burlete.

Cierre la puerta y coloque calzas cuidadosamente e ntre la jamba y la abertura tras el área

de la cerradura de seguridad ajustable.

Luego, abra la puerta y taladre orificios guía de 0,32

cm de diámetro e instale los tornillos de #8 X 2-1/2

pulgadas (incluidos) a través de los orificios de la

cerradura para asegurar la jamba del lado del seguro y

proporcionar seguridad

Ajuste la cerradura hacia adentro o afuera para que

entre en contacto co n el burlete y la puerta funcione de

manera adecuada, luego, termine de apretar los tornillos.

Paso 8: ajuste el alféizar.

Es pos ible q ue s u pue rta te nga una c ubierta para umbral a justable. Cuando se ajusta de

manera adec uada, la puerta debe quedar apretada y de be ser ligera mente d ifícil jalar un

billete de un dólar por debajo de ella c uando está bien cerrada. Se debe poder retirar el

billete de un dólar sin rasgarlo.

Esta verificación se debe rea lizar en cada

ubicación de tornillo de ajuste.

Después de ajustar la cubierta para umbral, asegúrese de

que el burlete está al ras co n la parte superior de la cubierta

para umbral. Recorte si es necesario.

Paso 9: instale las almohadillas de sellado para esquinas: sólo para unidades de apertura hacia adentro.

Aplique se llador (e lastomérico o de

poliuretano) en la unión entre la cubierta

para umbral y las jambas de la puerta.

Retire e l papel autoadhesivo de las

almohadillas de sellado para esquinas y

aplíquelas a la jamba de la puerta, alinea ndo

de forma pareja la parte inferior con la

parte superior de la cubierta para umbral.

Cuando la almohadilla se instala correctamente, la lengüeta se encontrará encima y la

parte estrecha abajo.

La parte inferior de la almohadilla tiene el mismo ancho que la cubierta para umbral, para

ayudar a alinearlas durante la instalación.

Paso 10: anclaje adicional del marco.

Si el alféizar cuenta con preparación para tornillos de anclaje, coloque los tornillos

adecuados a través de l alféizar y hasta el subsuelo de ser necesario. (Principalmente en

alféizares para apertura hacia afuera).

Le recomendamos proporcionar anclaje adicional a l marco, como lo mostramos aquí.

Recommended Best Practices

Use Water Resistive Barrier and Flexible Flashing:

We recommend the use of a Water Resistive Barrier (WRB) applied to the exterio

r sheathing (OSB or other) and the use of an adhesive or flexible flashing product to seal around the opening. The WRB should be cut in the opening (follow manufacturer’s guidelines) with the head of the flap taped up, to be sealed later in Step 13. The flashing should be applied in an overlapping manner as shown, always working from the bottom up (follow manufacturer’s guidelines).

Use a Sill Pan: We recommend you first “dry fit” the sill pan in the opening,

following the instructions furnished with the sill pan. Place the right and left sill pan ends tight against the sides of the opening. Check the center section for proper length and if necessary, cut with a hack saw or tin snips. Be sure to allow 2 inches of overlap at the joints.

Note: Use only the PVC cement provided in the sill pan kit to glue the pieces

together. The sill pan must be sealed to the sub-floor using an Elastomeric or Polyurethane sealant, but do not apply sealant to the bottom of the sill when using a sill pan.

Step 1: Check Door Unit.

Check width and height.

Measure size of frame (width and height), not brickmould.

Remove cleats and packaging, but keep door fastened closed with transport clip. Do not remove the transport clip until instructed to do s

later in Step 9.

Step 2: Check and Prepare Opening.

Is the opening the correct size for th

door unit? Check it against the door frame size now, before installation. The opening should be frame height plus

inch, and frame width plus ½ inch to ¾ inch. Fix any problems now.

Are the framing and walls PLUMB? Use a 6 foot level and check both sides of th

opening, both ways (front to back and right to left). Fix any problems now.

Is the sub floor level and solid? Provid

e a flat, level, clean weight bearing surface so the sill pan or sill can be

properly caulked and sealed to the opening. Scrape sand or fill as required.

Note: If additional floor covering clearance is required, attach the shim board

to the sub floor. Be sure to caulk well under the shim board.

Is the opening square? Check all corners with a framing square. Double check by comparing diagonal measurements. Fix any problems now.

SITE 1 2014 1.11

Pre-Hung Venting Unit Installation

Installation

Step 2 cont.: Check and Prepare Opening.

Check to be sure the framing walls around the opening are in the same plane. Do this by performing a “string test” for plumb.

. Flip the string over itself

to check both planes. Fix any problems now.

*An “out of plumb” condition is one of the most common reasons door units leak air and water.

Step 3: Caulk the Sub Floor.

On the sub floor at opening, place 3 very large beads of sealant. Run beads full width of the opening.

Use Only Elastomeric or Polyurethane sealant.

Use an Entire Tube when Caulking along the Sub Floor.

Step 3A: Installation with a Sill Pan.

Place the right and left sill pan ends onto the caulk beads and tightly against the side of the opening.

For added protection, spread a bead of caulk alo

ng the glue joints and to help prevent air infiltration, run a bead of caulk along the lower interior edge of the sill pan. Additional caulking could affect the performance of the sill pan.

Do Not Caulk the bottom of the Sill when using a sill Pan.

Step 3B: Installation without a Sill Pan.

Note: If a sill extender is used, place a large bead of caulk at the junction of

the extender and the sill approach.

Step 3 cont.: Caulking Back side of Brickmould.

Important!

Apply sealant to the back side of brickmould around the entire perimeter of the door unit. A 1/2 – 5/8 inch bead of Elastomeric or Polyurethane caulk is essential.

Step 4: Place Unit in Opening and Temporarily Fasten.

Lift the unit up. With top edge tilted away from opening, center the unit and place sill down onto sill pan or caulk beads and tilt into opening. For all door unit configurations, note the hinge locations and mark those locations on the jamb faces near the door surfaces. Pre-drill 1/8 inch

diameter holes at these locations and through the head jamb adjacent to the mullions, over the active sidelites. A

counter sink bit will help to conceal the screw heads.

Install screws in the center predrilled hole locations on both jambs to temporarily secure the unit in the place. Do not drive screws completely in at this time. Use #8 X 2-1/2 inch or 3 inch exterior grade screws.

Do Not Fasten through the Brickmould.

Step 5: Plumb and Fasten Side Head Mull Post .

Use a 6 foot level and plumb the hinge side mullion both ways (right to left and inside to outside). Place a screw through the predrilled hole in the head jamb at the hinge side mullion.

Do not drive the screw completely in at this time.

Shim directly over hinge side mull post. Using a 6 foot level, recheck hinge mull post to ensure it is plumb and straight. Finish driving screw tight.

Note: When installing a French door with active sidelites, first set the hinge mullion for the passive door. For details on properly setting the astragal slide bolt hole locations, follow the instructions in the astragal site pack.

Pre-Hung Venting Unit Installation

1.12 2014 SITE 1

Step 6: Adjust and Fasten Lock Side Mull Post.

Adjust lock side mull post so that the weatherstrip contacts the door surface equally at the top, middle, and bottom, an even 3/8” – 1/2” when fully closed. Place a screw through the pre-drilled hole in the head jamb at the lock side mullion.

Do Not drive the screw completely in at this time.

Shim directly over lock side mull post. Recheck

lock mull post to ensure weatherstrip contact is even top to bottom. Finish driving screw tight.

Step 7: Adjust and Secure Side Jambs.

Adjust the sidelite hinge jamb on the hinge mull side of the unit to obtain even weatherstrip contact top to bottom at the lock side of the sidelite. Place a screw through the hinge side jamb, into the stud, at each remaining hinge location.

Do not drive the screws completely in at this time.

Shim above the screws behind each hinge location between t

he opening and the jamb and make adjustment so the margin between the sidelite and mullion are even top to bottom. This margin will be slightly larger than the margin at the door. Recheck sidelite hinge jamb to ensure weatherstrip contact is even top to bottom. Finish driving

screws tight.

Repeat the previous step on the sidelite hinge jamb on the lock mull side of the unit.

Step 8: (French Door) Temporary Shim at Head Jamb.

When installing a French door with active sidelites, place temporary shims above the center of the head frame, where doors meet. Pre-drill and insert a screw through frame into header, then remove the temporary shims.

Step 9: Remove Transport Clip and Open Door.

Remove transport clips. Confirm door and sidelites operate properly.

Make adjustments as needed.

With sidelites open, drill 1/8” diameter pilot holes and install the long hinge screws in the hinge locations closest to the weatherstrip. Do this for all hinges.

Step 10: Adjust Sill.

Your door unit has adjustable threshold caps. When properly adjusted, it should be snug and slightly difficult to pull a dollar bill out from under the door and sidelites when fully closed. The dollar bill should be able to be removed without tearing.

This check should be performed at each adjustment screw location on each active threshold cap.

After adjusting the threshold cap, ensure that the weatherstrip is flush with the top of the threshold cap. Trim as necessary.

Step 11: Install Corner Seal Pads – Inswing units Only.

Apply sealant (Polyurethane or Elastomeric) at the joint where the threshold cap meets the jambs and mull posts.

Remove the self-stick paper from the corner seal pads and apply to the jamb or mull post, with the bottom lined up evenly with the top of the threshold cap. When the pad is correctly installed, the tab is on top and the narrow part is on the bottom.

The bottom of the pad is the same width of the threshold cap to help with alignment during installation. Corner pads must be installed on both sides of each active opening.

SITE 1 2014 1.13

Step 12: Weatherproof, Finish and Maintain.

Provide and maintain a properly installed drip cap or head flashing to protect top of surfaces from Water intrusion and damage. Tape and properly seal the top flap of the Water Resistive Barrier (WRB) over the head flashing.

Caulk around entire “weather” side of unit, sealing along the brickmould to the flashing

material or siding and seal all joints between the jambs and moldings.

Seal the join

ts between the exterior hardware trim and the door face to

prevent air and water infiltration.

Add insulation material to the cavity between the opening and the unit to red

uce air infiltration and heat transfer.

All Therma-Tru® Fiberglass doors must be finished within 6 months of the installation date for continued warranty coverage.

Paint or stain according to Therma-Tru® Finishing instructions. Do Not paint or stain the weatherstrip, it is “friction-fit” and easily removed for painting or staining.

All 6 sides of the doors must be finished. All door edges must

be inspected

and maintained as regularly as all other surfaces.

All bare wood surfaces such as the door frame exposed to weather should be primed and painted or stained and top coated within two weeks of exposure for best performance.

Maintain or replace sealants and finishes as soon as any deterioration is evident. For semi-gloss or glossy paint or clear coats, do this when the surface becomes

dull or rough. More severe climates and exposures will require more

frequent maintenance.

Lea todas las instrucciones antes de comenzar.

Mejores prácticas recomendadas por Therma-Tru®

Use barreras resistentes al agua y tapajuntas flexibles:

Recomendamos el uso de barreras resistentes al agua (WRB, por sus siglas en inglés) ap

licadas al revestimiento exterior (OSB u otras) y el uso de productos adhesivos o de tapajuntas flexibles para sellar el perímetro de la abertura. Se debe cortar la WRB en la abertura (siga las pautas del fabricante) con el cabezal de la lengüeta cubierta con cinta adhesiva, para sellarla después en el paso 13. Se debe aplicar el tapajuntas de manera superpuesta, como se muestra, siempre comenzand

o desde la parte inferior

hacia la superior (siga las pautas del fabricante).

Use un revestimiento para alféizar: Recomendamos que primero compruebe que el revestimiento para alféizar cabe en la abertura siguiendo las instrucciones incluidas con éste. Coloque los extremos derecho e izquierdo del revestimiento para alféizar contra los lados de la abertura. Verifique que la sección central tenga el largo adecuado y, de ser necesario, córtela con una sierra de mano o tijeras para hojalata. Asegúrese de dejar 5,08 cm d

superposición en las uniones.

Nota: Use sólo el cemento PVC incluido en el kit de revestimiento para alféizar para unir las piezas. El revestimiento para alféizar se debe sellar al subsuelo usando un sellador elastomérico o de poliuretano, pero no apliqu

sellador a la parte inferior del alféizar cuando use un revestimiento para alféizar.

Paso 1: Revise el módulo para puerta.

Revise el ancho y alto.

Mida el tamaño del marco (ancho y alto), no d

la moldura de ladrillo.

Retire las tablitas y el empaque, pero mantenga la puerta fijamente cerrada con el sujetador para transporte. No retire el sujetador para transport

hasta que se le indique hacerlo en el paso 9.

Paso 2: Revise y prepare la abertura.

¿La abertura es del tamañ

correcto para el módulo para puerta? Compárela con el tamañ

del marco para puerta ahora, antes de la instalación. La abertura debe tener el alto del marco más 1,27 cm y el ancho del marco más 1,27 a 1,91 cm. Resuelva cualquie

problema en este momento.

¿Los marcos y las paredes están

PLOMO? Use un nivel de 6 pies y revise ambos lados de la abertura, de dos maneras (del frente hacia atrás y de derecha a izquierda).

Resuelva cualquier problema e

este momento.

¿El subsuelo está nivelado y es sólido? Proporcione una superficie plana, nivelada y limpia que soporte el peso, de manera que se pueda aplicar masilla de calafateo y sellar de forma adecuada el revestimiento para alféizar o el alféizar a la abertura. Raspe, lije o rellene según sea necesario.

Nota: Si se necesita una separación adicional del cubrepiso, fije la tabla de calza al subsuelo. Asegúrese de calafatear bien bajo la tabla de calza.

¿La abertura está a escuadra? Revise todas las esquinas con una escuadra d

enmarcar. Revise dos veces comparando las medidas diagonales. Resuelva

cualquier problema en este momento.

Pre-Hung Venting Unit Installation

Installation

SITE 1 2014 1.15

Paso 2, cont.: Revise y prepare la abertura.

Asegúrese de que las paredes que enmarcan el perímetro de la abertura están en el mismo plano. Hágalo realizando una prueba con un cordel para verificar que están a plomo.

Prueba con cordel para verificar que están a plomo: Coloque un cordel que cruce diagonalmente la abertura desde el exterior, como se muestra. Los cordeles se deben tocar suavemen

te en el centro, de lo contrario, la abertura está “fuera de plomo” por el doble de dicha distancia y se debe corregir. Voltee el cordel sobre sí mismo para verificar ambos planos. Resuelva cualquier problema en

este momento.

El estado “fuera de plomo” es una de las razones

más comunes por las que los módulos para puerta

sufren fugas de aire y agua.

Paso 3: Aplique masilla de calafateo en el subsuelo.

Coloque 3 cordones muy grandes de sellador en el subsuelo de la abertura. Extienda los cordones hasta alcanzar el ancho total de la abertura.

Use sólo sellador elastomérico o de poliuretano.

Use un tubo completo para calafatear a lo largo del subsuelo.

Paso 3A: Instalación con un revestimiento para alféizar.

Coloque los extremos derecho e izquierdo del revestimiento para alféizar sobre los cordones de masilla de calafateo y firmemente contra el lado de la abertura.

Luego, cubra generosamente las áreas superpuestas y empotradas de las piezas con el cemento PVC incluido. Coloque las secciones centrales en posición y mantenga las piezas juntas e

l tiempo suficiente para asegurar una buena

adhesión.

Para una mayor protección, esparza un cordón de masilla de calafateo a lo largo de las uniones de adhesivo y, para ayudar a evitar la infiltración de aire, extienda un cordón de masilla de calafateo a lo largo del borde interior inferior del revestimiento para alféizar. Colocar masilla de calafateo adicional puede afectar el rendimiento del re

vestimiento para alféizar.

No calafatee la parte inferior del alféizar cuando use un revestimiento para alféizar

Paso 3B: Instalación sin un revestimiento para alféizar.

Coloque el módulo para puerta sobre su borde o frente, de manera que se pueda calafatear la superficie inferior del alféizar. Coloque cordones muy grandes de masilla de calafateo a lo largo de todo el ancho del alféizar. Además, coloque cordones de masilla de calafateo a lo largo de la unión del alféizar y la jamba y en la superficie inferior de las jambas y las molduras

de ladrillo. Nota: Si usa una extensión para alféizar, coloque un cordón grande de masilla de calafateo en la unión de la extensión y la entrada del alféizar.

Paso 3, cont.: Calafateo de la parte posterior de la moldura de ladrillo.

¡Importante!

Aplique sellador a la parte posterior de la moldura de ladrillo, en todo el perímetro del módulo para puerta. Es fundamental colocar un cordón de masilla de calafateo elastomérica o de poliuretano de 1,27 a 1,59 cm.

Paso 4: Coloque el módulo en la abertura y fije temporalmente .

Levante el módulo. Incline el borde superior alejándolo de la abertura y centre el módulo; coloque el alféizar en el revestimiento para alféizar o sobre los cordones de masilla de calafateo e inclínelo hacia la abertura. Tenga presente la ubicación de las bisagras para todas las configuraciones de los módulos para puerta y márquelas en el frente de las jambas, cerca de las superficies de la puerta. Taladre previamente orificios de 0,32 cm de diámetro en dichas

ubicaciones a través de la jamba del dintel adyacente a los entrepaños, sobre las vidrieras laterales activas. Puede ocultar las cabezas de los tornillos con una broca para avellanar.

Instale los tornillos en la ubicación del orificio central taladrado previamente en ambas jambas para asegurar el módulo temporalmente en el lugar. No apriete completamente los tornillos en este momento. Use tornillos para exteriores #8 X 2-1/2" ó 3".

No los apriete a través de la moldura de ladrillo.

Paso 5: Coloque a plomo y fije el listón vertical del cabezal lateral.

Use un nivel de 6 pies y coloque a plomo el entrepaño del lado con bisagras de dos maneras (de derecha a izquierda y del interior al exterior).

Coloque un tornillo en el orificio taladrado previamente en la jamba del cabezal, en el entrepaño del lado con bisagras.

No atornille el tornillo

Paso 5, cont.: Coloque a plomo y ﬁje el listón vercal del cabezal lateral.

Coloque calzas directamente en el listón vertical del lado con bisagras. Con un nivel de 6 pies, vuelva a revisar el listón vertical con bisagras para asegurarse de que está a plomo y recto. Termine de apretar el tornillo.

Nota: Cuando instale una puerta estilo francés con vidrieras laterales activas, primero coloque el

entrepaño con bisagras para la puerta pasiva. Siga las instrucciones del paquete del astrágalo para obtener detalles sobre la configuración adecuada de la ubicación de los orificios para el perno deslizante.

Paso 6: Ajuste y fije el listón vertical del lado de la cerradura.

Ajuste el listón vertical del lado de la cerradura de manera que los burletes hagan contacto con la superficie de la puerta de forma pareja en la parte superior, la parte del medio y la parte inferior a unos 0,95 a 1,27 cm cuando la puerta esté completamente cerrada. Coloque un tornillo en el orificio taladrado previamente en l

a jamba del cabezal, en el entrepaño del lado de la cerradura.

No apriete completamente el tornillo en este momento.

Coloque calzas directamente en el listón vertical del lado de la cerradura. Vuelva a revisar el listón vertical del lado de la cerradura para asegurarse de que los burletes estén en contacto de forma pareja desde la parte superior a la parte inferior. Termine de apretar el tornill

Paso 7: Ajuste y asegure las jambas laterales.

Ajuste la jamba de la bisagra de la vidriera lateral en el lado del listón con bisagras del módulo para que los burletes hagan contacto de forma pareja desde la parte superior a la parte inferior del lado de la cerradura de la vidriera lateral. Pase un tornillo a través de la jamba del lado con bisagras hasta el montante, en cada ubicación de las

bisagras

restantes.

No apriete completamente los tornillos en este momento.

Coloque calzas sobre los tornillos detrás de cada ubicación de las bisagras entre la abertura y la jamba, y realice ajustes de manera que el margen entre la vidriera

lateral y el listón queden parejos desde la parte superior a la parte inferior. Este margen debe ser ligeramente más grande que el margen de la puerta. Vuel

va a revisar la jamba de las bisagras de la vidriera lateral para asegurarse de que los burletes hagan contacto de manera pareja desde la parte superior a la parte inferior. Termine de apretar los tornillos.

Repita el paso anterior en la jamba de las bisagras de la vidriera lateral en el listón del lado de la cerradura del módulo.

Paso 8: (Puerta estilo francés) Calza temporal en la jamba del cabezal.

Cuando instale una puerta estilo francés con vidrieras laterales activas, coloque calzas temporales sobre el centro del marco del cabezal donde se unen las puertas. Taladre previamente e inserte un tornillo a través del marco en el dintel y luego retire las calzas temporales.

Paso 9: Retire el sujetador para transporte y abra la puerta.

Retire los sujetadores para transporte. Verifique que la puerta y las vidrieras laterales funcionen correctamente.

Haga los ajustes necesarios.

Con las vidrieras laterales abiertas, taladre orificios guía de 0,32 cm de diámetro e instale los tornillos para bisagra largos en las ubicaciones de las bisagras más cercanas al burlete. Realice el mismo procedimiento con todas las bisagras.

Paso 10: Ajuste el alféizar.

Su módulo para puerta tiene cubiertas para umbral ajustables. Cuando se ajustan correctamente, deben quedar apretadas y debe ser ligeramente difícil jalar un billete de un dólar por debajo de la puerta y las vidrieras laterales cuando están bien cerradas. Se debe poder retirar el billete de un dólar sin rasgarlo.

Esta verificación se debe realizar en todas las ubicaciones de tornillos ajustables de cada cubierta para umbral activo.

Después de ajustar la cubierta para umbral, asegúrese de que el burlete está al ras con la parte superior de la cubierta para umbral. Corte si es necesario.

Paso 11: Instale las almohadillas de sellado para esquinas: Sólo para módulos de abertura hacia adentro.

Aplique el sellador (elastomérico o de poliuretano) en la unión donde la cubierta para umbral se une con las jambas y los listones verticales.

Retire el papel autoadhesivo de las almohadillas de sellado para esquinas y aplíquelas en la jamba o en el listón vertical, alineando de forma pareja la

parte inferior con la parte superior de la cubierta para umbral. Cuando la almohadilla se instala correctamente, la lengüeta se encontrará en la parte superior y la parte estrecha en la inferior.

La parte inferior de la almohadilla tiene el mismo ancho que la cubierta para umbral para facilitar la alineación durante la instalación. Las almohadillas de las esquinas se deben instalar en ambos lados de cada abertura activa.

Proporcione y mantenga una cubierta de goteo o un tapajuntas de dintel instalados de forma adecuada para proteger la parte superior de las superficies del ingreso de agua y del daño. Coloque cinta adhesiva y selle de manera adecuada la parte superior de la lengüeta de la barrera resistente al agua (WRB) sobre el tapajuntas del dintel.

Calafatee alrededor de todo el lado expuesto al clima del mód

ulo, sellando a lo largo de la moldura de ladrillo hasta el material de tapajuntas o los paneles de revestimiento y selle todas las uniones entre las jambas y las molduras.

Selle las uniones entre el reborde de los aditamentos exteriores y el frente de la puerta para evitar la infiltración de aire y agua.

Coloque y ajuste clavos galvanizados para acabado a través de la moldura de ladrillo, alred

edor del perímetro. Use tornillos para exteriores si va a instalar una contrapuerta en la moldura de ladrillo. Avellane todos los sujetadores y cúbralos con masilla para exteriores.

Añada material aislante a la cavidad entre la abertura y el módulo, a fin de reducir la infiltración de aire y la transferencia de calor.

Se debe dar acabado a todas las puertas Therma-Tru® de fibra de vidrio dentro

de 6 meses a partir de la instalación para una adecuada cobertura de la

garantía.

Pinte o tiña de acuerdo con las instrucciones de acabado de Therma-Tru®. No pinte ni tiña el burlete, está ajustado para la fricción y se retira fácilmente para pintar o teñir.

Se debe dar acabado a los 6 lados de las puertas. Se deben inspeccionar y dar mantenimiento a todos los bordes de las puertas con la misma

regularidad que

a todas las demás superficies.

Se debe aplicar pintura base, pintura o tintes (una capa más una capa superior), a todas las superficies de madera desnudas, como el marco para puerta expuesto al clima, dentro de dos semanas a partir de la exposición para lograr un mejor rendimiento.

Dé mantenimiento o reemplace los selladores y acabados tan pronto cualquier deterioro sea evidente.

Swing Door Handle Operation Instructions

To lock system. Lift handle to engage multipoints prior to engaging deadbolt.

Handle will automatically return to center position.

To open door, disengage deadbolt with key or thumbturn, push handle down to stop and

then open door. Use key or thumbturn to engage deadbolt.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

Note: To lock door, shootbolts, locking point tongues and deadbolt must all fully extend. Be certain door is square in frame before adjusting other hardware. With the door in the open position, engage system by lifting handle and letting handle return to it’s center position. Extend deadbolt by turning thumb turn. If the tongues or shootbolts extend and the deadbolt operates, the handle system is fully functional.

1. SYSTEM WILL NOT OPERATE WHEN YOU LIFT THE HANDLE

Probable Cause: Improper installation of handle set. Solution: Remove handle and reinstall.

See Handle Set Installation Instructions.

2. SYSTEM OPERATES IN THE OPEN POSITION WHEN YOU LIFT HANDLE BUT NOT IN THE CLOSED POSITION WITH THE DOOR SHUT

Probable Cause: Relationship of door in the frame. Solution: Check to make sure door is square in the frame.

3. LOCKING POINTS DO NOT EXTEND

Probable Cause: Deadbolt is not fully extending. Solution: Clear away anything blocking travel of deadbolt (insula-

tion, wood, etc.).

4. DEADBOLT WILL NOT FULLY ENGAGE

Probable Cause: Locking points are not fully engaged. System design does not permit deadbolt operation unless locking points

are fully engaged.

Solution: Check system for binding problems. Conrm deadbolt extends fully into strike. Check to conrm locking points are correctly engaging strikes on the frame.

6. SET SCREWS WILL NOT GO INTO HANDLE COMPLETELY

Probable Cause: Shaft is not assembled properly. Solution: Remove handle to see how shaft is assembled. See

Handle Set Installation Instructions for proper assembly and position of shaft.

7. BOTTOM LOCKING POINT MOVES BUT TOP LOCKING POINT DOES NOT Probable Cause: Top extension drive rail is not connected to the lock gear.

Solution: Remove screws used to attach top extension to the door and the machine screw that attaches it to the lock gear, and remove top extension. Place the end of the drive rail (the “L” shape in the lockcase above the latchbolt, as you slide the top extension

into the door. Fasten with a screw at the lockcase and one up

higher. Operate the gear to make sure it works. Finish installing the remainder of the screws.

8. KEY DOES NOT WORK IN CYLINDER

Probable Cause: Cylinder was rekeyed incorrectly. Solution: Check with Builder or Installer to see if cylinder was

rekeyed to match other doors in the house. If so, return to locksmith to rekey properly.

5. THUMBTURN OR KEY WILL NOT TURN

Probable Cause: Backplates may not be on straight Solution: Conrm that inside and outside holes line up with lock-

case. Loosen backplate screws 1/2 turn.

Causa probable: Instalación inadecuada del juego de manijas. Solución: Retire la manija y vuelva a instalar. Reérase a las instrucciones de instalación del juego de manijas.

2. EL SISTEMA FUNCIONA EN LA POSICIÓN ABIERTA CUANDO LEVANTA LA MANIJA PERO NO EN LA POSICIÓN CERRADA CON LA PUERTA TRANCADA

Causa probable: La relación de la puerta con el marco.

Solución: Verique para comprobar que la puerta esté a escuadra con el marco.

3. LOS PUNTOS DE TRANCA NO SE EXTIENDEN Causa probable: la cerradura de doble seguridad no se

extiende totalmente. Solución: Despeje cualquier obstáculo que esté en el camino de la cerradura de doble seguridad (aislante, madera, etc.).

4. LA CERRADURA DE DOBLE SEGURIDAD NO ENGANCHA COMPLETAMENTE

Causa probable: Los puntos de tranca no están completamente enganchados El diseño del sistema no permite el funcionamiento de la cerradura de doble seguridad a menos que los puntos de tranca estén completamente

enganchados.

Solución: Revise el sistema en busca de problemas de desplazamiento. Conrme que la cerradura de doble seguridad se inserta completamente en la hembra de la cerradura. Revise para conrmar si los puntos de trance están enganchando correctamente en el marco.

5. EL CERROJO MANUAL O LA LLAVE NO GIRAN

Causa probable: Las placas posteriores puede que no estén derechas Solución: Conrme que los agujeros internos y externos estén alineados con la caja de la cerradura. Aoje ½ vuelta

los tornillos de la placa posterior.

6. LOS TORNILLOS DE FIJACIÓN NO PENETRAN EN LA MANIJA COMPLETAMENTE

Causa probable: El eje no está ensamblado adecuadamente. Solución: Retire la manija para ver como está ensamblado el eje. Reérase a las instrucciones de instalación del juego de manijas para el ensamblaje adecuado y la posición del eje.

7. EL PUNTO DE TRANCA INFERIOR SE MUEVE PERO EL PUNTO SUPERIOR DE TRANCA NO

Causa probable: La barra impulsora de extension superior no está conectada al mecanismo de la cerradura. Solución: Retire los tornillos utilizados para jar la extensión superior a la puerta y el tornillo para metals que la ja al mecanismo de la cerradura, y retire la extensión superior. Coloque el extremo de la barra impulsora (la forma “L” de la caja de la cerradura sobre el picaporte de resbalón, a medida que desliza la extensión superior en la puerta. Asegure con un tornillo en la caja de la cerradura y otro más alto. Haga funcionar el mecanismo para conrmar que trabaja bien. Termine de colocar el resto de los tornillos.

8. LA LLAVE NO FUNCIONA EN EL CILINDRO

Causa probable: El cilindro fue reprogramado incorrectamente. Solución: Revise con un constructor o instalador para comprobar si el cilindro fue reprogramado igual que las otras puertas de la casa. Si es así, regrese a la cerrajería para que se lo reprogramen adecuadamente.

INSTALACIÓN DE LA HEMBRA DEL CASQUILLO

1. Marque la ubicación del agujero utilizando la punta del perno deslizante como guÌa.

2. Taladre agujeros de 9/16” (1,4 cm) en las marcas a través de la jamba y la solera.

3. Inserte el receptáculo de la hembra del

Elliptical Transom Casing Instructions

Elliptical Transom Casing Installation Instructions

The curvature and fit of the casing may not appear to match the transom frame shape, if the two are compared before installation. Do not be concerned. The casing will flex and is fit to the frame at installation time.

Complete installation of this elliptical casing before doing the straight vertical sides.

1. TEMPORARILY ATTACH CASING

Before installing, mark casing for finish nail locations. Mark for outer and inner nails.

Installation

Casing is furnished with a small amount of extra length at each end. This will need to be trimmed at installation time.

With transom installed in wall, place casing against transom frame. Position casing at center for desired reveal from frame edge. Tack in place at the top two center finish nail locations only. Do not drive nails fully. They will be pulled back out in Step 2.

Work from center out. Adjust casing so reveal margin is the same at each nailing point. Tack at each inner nail location.

Mark and trim ends

2. MARK AND TRIM ENDS

Attach ends of transom casing. Use square cut pieces of straight jamb casing and mark ends of elliptical casing for trim cuts.

3. REMOUNT CASING AND ATTACH PERMANENTLY

Work from center toward outside

Pull nails carefully. Remove casing from wall and trim ends.

SDL Bar Installation Instructions

NOTE: TEMPERATURE RANGE FOR OPTIMUM TAPE ADHESION IS 70° TO

When installing over GBG’s only use bronze flat bar patterns

SDL Preparation for Interlocking Bar Patterns:

(Smooth Star / Fiber Classic)

100°F. MINIMUM APPLICATION TEMPERATURE IS 60°F. BOTH THE DOOR AND LITE DIVIDER ARE TO BE IN THIS TEMPERATURE RANGE. ADHESIVE IS NOT REPOSITIONABLE.

Materials Needed:

70% Isopropyl Alcohol or adhesion promoting solution Clean rags ½” Masking tape J-Roller Shim stock or business card Pencil Plastic zip ties or coffee stirrers Sanding materials

Use notches to mark frame

Installation

1. Starting at the external glass side, take a horizontal divider and place it at the top of the glass. Center the bar in the opening and use the notch(es) on the divider to mark on the frame the top position of the vertical divider(s). Slide the bar to the bottom of the glass and repeat for the bottom position of the vertical dividers.

2. Take a vertical divider and center between the frame markings. Mark amount of bar to trim (if necessary). There should be 0.015” - 0.020” clearance (use a business card as a shim) on each side to allow for expansion or contraction. Repeat for each vertical divider. Be sure to mark each divider with its location (left/right).

3. Trim bars at appropriate angle (see below) to their correct size. Trimming may be done with a stationary belt sander, disc sander, or sanding block.

4. Place a trimmed vertical bar to one side of the glass and use the notches on the dividers to mark on the frame the position of the horizontal dividers. Repeat on the other side of the glass.

5. Assemble the vertical and horizontal bars together and center the bars on the glass at the frame markings without removing the carrier backing tape. Mark amount of bar to trim (if necessary). There should be 0.015” - 0.020” clearance on each side. Repeat for each horizonal divider. Be sure to mark each divider with its location (top, bottom, center, etc).

7. Assemble the horizontal and vertical divider(s). Use masking tape to secure the divider bars together at the joints. Peel off the Carrier Backing from all of the divider pieces. Clean any trimming residue from tape using 70% Isopropyl Alcohol. Lightly place the tips of small zip ties or coffee stirrers roughtly 1/8” onto the adhesive backs as shown. For each of the divider bars, position 1 tie at each end of the divider and each joint, and 1-2 ties in the middle. The ties will keep the adhesive backing off of the glass during final positioning.

Small Zip Tie or Coffee Stirrer

Glass Preparation:

Moisten a clean cloth with 70% Isopropyl Alcohol or use an adhesion promoting solution. Wipe the glass before attaching dividers. Allow to dry.

FAILURE TO PREPARE THE GLASS PROPERLY WILL RESULT IN POOR TAPE ADHESION. DO NOT USE A GLASS CLEANER TO PERPARE THE GLASS AS THIS WILL PREVENT PROPER ADHESION.

SDL Installation:

1. Position the divider grid back onto the glass using the frame position marks. Check to ensure that, for all of the frame to divider points, there is a 0.015” - 0.020” gap between the divider and the frame. Once in position, press down at all of the ends opposite the zip tie to lock the position, and then pull out that zip tie. Once all of the divider ends are attached, pull out the middle zip ties from the dividers. Using a J-Roller, roll firmly along the entire length of the horizontal and vertical dividers. Look through the interior side to confirm all dividers adhere to the glass, particularly around the perimeter and divider joints. Once attached, remove the masking tape.

2. Repeat steps for interior frame side.

Spring Hinge Instructions

Installation

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THERMA-TRU ADJUSTABLE TENSION SPRING HINGE

Installation:

HEX KEY

CROSS PIN

First mount the hinges by matching the hinge leaf (with the Therma-Tru logo) to the door, then match the other leaf (with the “UL” logo) to the jamb. Doing this may require having adjustment end down depending on handing.

1. Place door in closed position. Insert allen wrench in hex adjustment hole as shown in left diagram.

2. If adjustment end is up, turn hex key clockwise to desired spring tension. If adjustment end is down, turn key counterclockwise to desired spring tension. Observe caution notes.

3. Insert cross pin when holes in center stud and hinge knuckle line up. Slowly release pressure on the hex key.

4. Remove hex key and test closing action of door.

5. Repeat steps 1-4, if necessary, to increase spring tension.

To make tension adjustment tamperproof, snip off cross pin at break-away head. Do not remove head if future adjustment may be needed.

HEX ADJUSTMENT ON TOP LEFT-HAND APPLICATION

- Use 3-1/2” spring hinge for 1-3/8” thick doors, maximum 2’8” wide X 7’ high.

- Use 4” or 4-1/2” spring hinge for 1-3/4” thick doors, maximum 3’ wide X 7’ high

- Doors over 5’ high require three hinges. At least two of the three must be spring hinges.

- The maximum door size and number of spring hinges required are based on limits set forth in NFPA 80. For maximum versatility, use all spring hinges.

NOTE: Adjust spring hinge to minimum tension required to close and latch the door. Overtensioning will reduce the spring life.

Caution: Do not exceed three holes of tension for doors opening 180 degrees. Do not exceed four holes of tension for doors opening 90 degrees.
