Step 6: Adjust and Fasten Lock Side Mull Post.
Do Not drive the screw completely in at this time.
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.
For Therma-Tru Composite
Door Frame systems, also place
screws between hinge locations.
Do Not drive the screws
completely in at this time.
Shim above the screws between
the 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.
Step 9: Remove Transport Clip and Open Door.
Remove transport clips.
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.
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. Pre-
drill and insert a screw through the frame
into the header, on each side of the lock
mull post
Shim directly over lock side mull
post. Recheck lock mull post to
ensure weatherstrip contact is even
top to bottom. Finish driving screw
tight.
When installing a French door with active
sidelites, place temporary shims above the
center of the head frame, between the
strike plate screws.
Pre-drill and insert long screws through
the strike plate and into the header, then
remove the temporary shims.
Confirm door and
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.
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 (a high-quality hybrid polymer, elastomeric or
polyurethane sealant; Therma-Tru recommends OSI QUAD MAX.)
at the joint where the threshold cap meets the door jambs.
both sides of each active opening.
This check should be performed at each
adjustment screw location on each active
threshold cap.
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
