3SETTING 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.  
&YUFSJPS  
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  
Îꢁ  
used to hold the door in place while shimming it  
plumb and square.  
Îꢁ  
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.  
*OUFSJPS  
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.  
Î
Note: DO NOT over shim.  
 
C. Fasten the door to opening:  
&YUFSJPS  
Note: Pre-drilling the additional holes in the fin at the interlocker  
will make installation easier and will help prevent damage to the  
fin. Use a 3/16" drill bit to pre-drill the holes.  
Standard Installation: Beginning in the first hole from the  
fin corner, drive 2" galvanized roofing nails into every other  
pre-punched hole in the nailing fin. Drive four additional  
nails through the head and sill fin at the fixed interlock  
location. Space the nails 2" on center and position them so  
there are two nails on each side of the interlocker. Drive the  
nails until the head contacts the fin, however do not sink the  
head. This will allow for movement of building material.  
Îꢀ  
High Performance Installation: Beginning in the first hole  
from the fin corner, insert a #8 x 1-1/2" corrosion resistant  
screw with a 3/4" outside diameter flat washer into every hole  
of the installation fin. Drive four additional screws through  
the head and sill fin at the fixed interlock location. Space the  
screws 2" on center and position them so there are two screws  
on each side of the interlocker. Drive the screws until the  
head/washer contacts the fin, however do not sink the washer.  
This will allow for movement of building material.

4INTEGRATING THE DOOR TO THE WATER RESISTIVE BARRIER  
A. Apply side flashing tape. Cut two pieces of flashing tape 4"  
&YUFSJPS  
longer than the frame height of the door. Apply one piece to  
each side over the nailing fin and onto the water resistive barrier.  
The tape should extend 2" above the top of the door and 2"  
below the bottom of the door. Press the tape down firmly.  
{ꢁ  
B. Apply top flashing tape. Cut a piece of flashing tape long  
enough to go across the top of the door and extend at least  
1" past the side flashing tape on  
both sides. Apply the tape over the  
top nailing fin as shown. Press the  
tape down firmly.  
&YUFSJPS  
{ꢀ  
&YUFSJPS  
Note: The tape should cover the  
entire nailing fin, but not  
extend onto the door frame.  
{
The top flashing tape must  
overlap the side flashing tape  
ꢃꢇ  
to prevent water from getting  
{ꢂ  
behind it.  
C. Fold down top flap of water resistive barrier (4C).  
D. Apply flashing tape to diagonal cuts. Cut pieces of flashing tape at  
least 1" longer than the diagonal cuts in the water resistive barrier.  
Apply the tape, covering the entire diagonal cut in the water resistive  
barrier at both upper corners of the door. Press the tape down firmly.  
Note: Be sure to overlap the top corners (4D).  
{ꢄ  
E. Attach wood blocking to the exterior of the opening to support the

5 REINSTALL THE SLIDING PANEL  
TWO OR MORE PEOPLE WILL BE REQUIRED TO HANDLE THE PANEL SAFELY.  
A. Insert door panel. From the interior of the building, tilt  
the top of the panel toward the door frame and insert the  
top of the door panel into the top track. Move the bottom  
of the panel toward the door frame until it is vertical.  
Gently set the panel down into the bottom track.  
xꢁ  
Note: Make sure the top of the panel clears the anti-  
lift clip before attempting to place the panel on the  
bottom track.  
B. Adjust the rollers so that the slide panel runs freely and  
is parallel to the fixed interlocker. Rotate roller adjustment  
screws clockwise to raise the panel or counter-clockwise to  
lower the panel. They are located at the bottom of the slide  
panel at both ends. Once plumb, adjust the slide panel to  
the proper height to attain even coverage of the weatherstrip  
at both the top and bottom as viewed from the exterior.

the keeper holes, the shim and into the rough opening frame  
members. Remove the starter screw from the 4 screw hole keeper  
and replace it with a 3" long screw.  
 
I. Install screen by inserting the top of the screen into the screen pocket located at the exterior  
head of the patio door. Compress the top rollers just enough to allow the bottom of the  
screen to be inserted onto the bottom screen track. Adjust the screen rollers by turning the  
adjustment screw located at the top and bottom until the screen operates smoothly and is  
plumb and centered from top to bottom. Install the screen keeper if desired.  
6 INTERIOR SEAL  
Caution: Ensure use of low pressure polyurethane window and door insulating 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 frame to  
bow and hinder operation.  
A. Apply insulating foam sealant. From the interior, insert  
the nozzle of the applicator approximately 1" deep into the  
space between the door and the rough opening and apply a  
*OUFSJPS  
1" deep bead of foam. This will allow room for expansion  
of the foam and will minimize squeeze out. If using foam  
other than Great Stuff Window and Door Insulating  
Foam Sealant by the Dow Chemical Company, allow the  
foam to cure completely (usually 8 to 24 hours) before  
proceeding to the next step.  
Note: It may be necessary to squeeze the end of the tube  
with pliers to be able to insert into the space between the  
door frame and the rough opening. DO NOT completely  
fill the space from the back of the fin to the interior face  
Èꢁ  
of the door.  
B. On the interior, seal the door sill to the floor with a corner bead of sealant.  
Connect this bead of sealant to the insulating foam at both door jambs.  
C. Check door operation by opening and closing the door.  
Note: If the door does not operate correctly, check to make sure it is still plumb, level,  
square and that the sides are not bowed. If adjustments are required, remove the foam  
with a serrated knife. Adjust the shims, and reapply the insulating foam sealant.  
7 SEALING THE DOOR TO THE EXTERIOR WALL CLADDING  
Note: When applying siding, brick veneer or other exterior finish materials, leave adequate  
space between the door frame and the material for sealant. Refer to the illustration that  
corresponds to your finish material. Not allowing adequate space or not using backer rod  
may cause the sealant to break down prematurely and allow water to infiltrate.

A. Insert closed cell foam backer rod into the space around the  
door approximately 1/2". This should provide at least a 1/2"  
clearance between the backer rod and the exterior face of  
the door.  
Note: Backer rod adds shape and depth for the  
sealant line.  
B. Apply a bead of high quality exterior grade sealant  
to the entire perimeter of the door. On doors where the  
bottom fin has been removed, insert sealant into the spaces  
between the bottom of the door and the sill support and  
connect it to the perimeter sealant.  
Çꢁ  
Note: Refer to the sealant manufacturer's label to verify  
compatibility with vinyl and the adjoining building  
components and priming requirements.  
Ç
C. Seal the exterior drainage weeps at the head only  
with high quality exterior grade sealant. DO NOT  
seal the drainage weeps at the sill.  
D. Shape, tool and clean excess sealant. When finished,  
the sealant should be the shape of an hourglass.  
Note: This method creates a more flexible sealant line  
capable of expanding and contracting.  
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (BOTTOM FIN REMOVAL)  
A. To remove the bottom fin, lay the door down with the interior facing up. With a utility knife,  
carefully score the entire length of the fin three times where it meets the sill. Bend the fin back  
and forth a few times, then peel the fin off.  
Note: Keep the body of the knife against the frame to prevent gouging the sill.  
B. Remove the sill track by beginning at one end and carefully pulling it up. This will expose the  
slide panel pocket.  
Note: A hooked tool like an allen wrench will easily get the track started.  
C. Drill 3/16" holes through the sill 18" from each corner and 1-  
TMJEFꢀ  
3/16" from the interior of the door. Continue every 18" thereafter.  
QBOFMꢀ  
Follow up by counter drilling the holes with a 3/8" drill making  
sure to only penetrate the interior wall of the door frame.

QPDLFU  
Note: You will need a drill guide set at 1/4" from the end of  
the drill bit. Without a drill guide, it is extremely difficult to  
prevent drilling through both walls of vinyl with the 3/8" drill.  
Penetrating the lower wall with this drill will make it very  
difficult to seal against water penetration and difficult to secure.

D. Dry fit the door. Make sure that the door is plumb, square and  
level. Mark and drill anchor locations. Mark the interior of the  
door frame at the sill to show a boundary for sealant placement.  
Carefully remove and set the door aside. Install anchors.  
E. Apply 2 continuous 1/4" to 3/8" diameter beads of sealant  
across the sill of the opening and 12" up the jambs, towards the  
interior side of the door (between the anchor holes and interior  
edge of door). DO NOT apply sealant between the anchor holes  
and the exterior side of the sill plate or floor.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (BOTTOM FIN REMOVAL) (continued)  
F. Go to steps 3 and 4 to install the door frame into the opening. Then install the sill track before  
proceeding to step 5.  
Note: At the sill, it is imperative that sealant be applied under the screw heads and that it  
surrounds them to prevent water leakage.  
G. To snap the sill track in, place an 8" long 2" x 4" block on edge and begin tapping it from one  
end with a rubber mallet until the track snaps into its original position.

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS  
Remove labels and clean the glass, using a soft, clean, grit-free cloth and mild soap or detergent. Be  
sure to remove all liquid by wiping dry or use a clean squeegee. The vinyl frame may be cleaned as  
described above. For stubborn dirt, a “non-abrasive" cleaner such as Bon-Ami® or Soft Scrub® may be  
used. Do not use solvents such as mineral spirits, toluene, xylene, naphtha or muriatic acid as they can  
dull the finish, soften the vinyl and/or cause failure of the insulated unit seal. Keep door tracks clear of  
dirt and debris. Keep weep holes open and clear of obstructions.
