CLOCKWISE TO INCREASE THE SPACE BETWEEN THE DOOR PANEL AND THE LOCK SIDE OF THE FRAMEꢇ $/ ./4 TURN THE SCREWS MORE
THAN ꢈꢀꢆ TURN IN EITHER DIRECTIONꢇ )N SOME CASES IT MAY BE NECESSARY TO LOOSEN AND THEN TIGHTEN THE TOP AND BOTTOM HINGE
screws to obtain full hinge adjustment. If necessary, loosen the top and bottom screws, and immediately retighten them.
With the screws retightened, turn the adjustment hinge screw. If the hinge will not adjust any further then it is adjusted
as far as it will go. If more clearance is needed adjust the shims between the frame and the rough opening.
Note: DO NOT adjust the hinge with the top and bottom screws loose; this could force the hinge to adjust beyond
its design capability which can cause the hinge to bind, damage the hinge and/or pull out the screws. A 3/4 turn of
the center screw provides approximately 1/16" adjustment.
Óꢊ
Ó
Note: For more issues with the adjustable strike latching, go to the troubleshooting section at the end of this instruction.
ProLine Series only: Plastic shims located behind the hinges may be removed to adjust the reveal between the door panel
and door frame. Additional hinge shims may be added if required.

INTEGRATING THE DOOR TO THE BUILDING FELT
Note: The flashing tape must be applied approximately 1/2" onto the frame cladding at the jambs and
head. Pre-folding the tape at 1/2" before removing the paper backing will make it easier to apply the
tape correctly. If the siding is less than 1/2" thick, adjust the dimension of the fold so the exterior sealant
line will cover the exterior edge of the tape.
&YUFSJPS
A. Apply side flashing tape. #UT ꢃ PIECES OF mASHING
TAPE ꢆꢅ LONGER THAN THE FRAME HEIGHT OF THE DOORꢇ
!PPLY ONE PIECE ꢂꢀꢃꢅ UP ONTO THE FRAME CLADDINGꢎ

&OLD THE OVERLAPPING TAPE DOWNꢎ AND PRESS ALL TAPE DOWN lRMLYꢇ
Î
ꢅꢁ
Note: The top flashing tape must overlap the side flashing tape to prevent
water from getting behind it.
C. Apply the top flashing paper. #UT ONE PIECE OF mASHING PAPER AT LEAST ꢃꢂꢅ LONGER THAN THE
width of the rough opening. Position the bottom edge of the flashing paper flush with the
frame of the door and center the flashing paper with the door. Staple the flashing paper to
the header.
Îꢁ
Note: When applying the first layer of building felt, ensure the sill flashing paper
overlaps the building felt. This will tie the door system into the building water
management system.

INTERIOR SEAL
Caution: Ensure use of low pressure polyurethane window and door installation foams and strictly follow the foam manufacturer’s
recommendations for application. Use of high pressure foams or improper application of the foam may cause the door to bow and
hinder operation. DO NOT use fiberglass insulation.
