Whether you've decided on Masonite French or Masonite's center-hinged patio doors, the fact is, that remarkable new set of doors will never see its full potential leaning up against a wall in your garage. If you've come this far, then it's time to get serious about mounting your patio doors. Not only will installing them add some extra functionality to your home, your sense of pride and accomplishment will increase dramatically too!
In just a few easy steps you can have your new doors installed and functioning beautifully.
Door Bottom
1. Rule your Rough opportunity and Door Frame size.
o Rough opportunity width is measured from the inside of the stud frame to the opposite stud.
o Rough opportunity height is quantum from the sub-floor to the lowest of the header.
2. Do not go forward until the sub-floor is clean and level.
3. Remove all packaging from your door (including any wood screws in the top of the header).
4. Apply caulk to the flat surfaces of the lowest sill, lowest jambs, and grooves.
5. Fit the unit into the rough opening.
o Do not try this without assistance.
6. Shim and Fasten the unit.
o Shim the lowest of the unit, tightly and as indicated in your door's manual. Shim the top of the unit, as indicated.
o Confirm a 1/8" gap in the middle of the top of the door and the frame header.
7. Insulate and Install.
o Score the shims with a razor and snap them flush with the frame.
o Insulate any gaps in the middle of the frame and rough opportunity with fiberglass blanket insulation.
8. Extra Caulking
o Caulk all covering corners and all colse to the brick siding. Caulk everywhere the covering trim meets brick or siding trim.
9. I said there were 9 steps, right? Well, if there was an additional one step, I'd instruct you to take a step back and admire your handiwork, because you have just installed your new patio doors!
