Door Installation Step 1
Doorway Preparation |
| |

- Inspect. If carton or doors are damaged from shipping (bent shaft,
etc.) contact the factory
- Check jamb and header for plumb, level and square (measure diagonals).
- Match size of door opening to size on packing slip.
- Mark center plumb line on jamb.
- Remove the top mounting angle from door by removing the hardware
housing from the top corner of each side
- Line up the center line on the bottom of the mounting angle with
the jamb centerline. Use the angle as a template to mark the hole locations
on the jamb and header and center-punch the holes.
- Use the jamb guard as a template for the bottom mounting holes, lining
up the centerline of the jamb guard with the centerline of the jamb.
Mark the hole locations on jamb and floor and center-punch the holes.
- Drill centers with #7 bit (for steel channel), tap 1/4-20 and fasten
to jamb with 1/4-20 bolts.
- If jambs are wood or hollow metal over wood, fasten using 1 1/2"
wood lags. Hollow metal frames without wood rough blocks should have
1/4" steel reinforcements (b/o) at jamb and header locations.
