CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Proper care and maintenance of the door is important.
Check the following items periodically to properly maintain
door and door frame:
• Regularly check polycarbonate panel to ensure it
remains secure and is in good condition. Replace
damaged panel if needed.
• Check connections and all fasteners to verify that they
remain tight.
• Check contents of shelter to verify nothing is touching
polycarbonate panel that could cause damage or
interfere with door operation.
• Do not leave door partially opened. Close door and
secure with latch or prop open to avoid personal injury
or damage.
• For replacement or missing parts, contact your sales
representative.
SINGLE SWINGING DOOR KIT: READ THIS BEFORE
YOU BEGIN
Consult the services of a qualified contractor if needed. It
is the responsibility of the owner/contractor to adapt these
instructions to safely and competently install this door in
an end wall or building that it was not designed for.
Complete these steps:
1. Based on door dimensions, determine door position
in end frame. Use diagrams from both this guide and
end wall assembly guide (if availble).
2. Return to end wall instructions and frame end wall as
needed based on door location. Secure door framing
to end wall framing.
3. Assemble door and attach to door frame.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Remove protective film from the
polycarbonate panel. Allowing film to remain intact and
in direct sunlight will make it difficult if not impossible
to remove. Store panel out of direct sunlight until film is
removed.
Rest panel edges on cardboard or other material to
protect it from dirt and damage during assembly.
Protective Film
Mark UV-protected side with a piece of tape after
protective film is removed and install that side
toward sun.

ASSEMBLE DOOR FRAME COMPONENTS
Consult diagrams near the back of this guide before you begin.
ATTENTION: Photos and diagrams show attaching door frame to an end
wall constructed using girts with a specific profile. If actual end wall frame
differs, take necessary steps to alter instructions as needed to allow proper
installation of door jambs and header.
The following steps describe one way to set door jambs.
1. Using dimensions from Door Frame Layout located in Quick Start
section, locate and mark door jamb positions on site.
2. Dig a 10"-12" diameter hole at locations found in previous step to a
depth that is below geographic frost line. (Minimum depth: 24".)
3. Locate the 120" door jambs (105488120). Using a metal saw, cut and
remove 2-1/2" sections from one end of each door jamb as shown in
photo A. This creates a lip and allows jamb to be attached to girt (see
photo B and C and Side View diagram).
ATTENTION: Diagrams A-D show left door jamb only. Adjust cuts when
cutting end for right jamb.
4. Using diagrams as guides, attach jambs to girts using 108553 wafer
head screws (photo C, D, and E). Install end wall girts if needed.
ATTENTION: Position door jambs so open sides of C-channel face
away from door opening (as shown in photo C) and lip overlaps
girt. When attached to girt, lower end of each jamb extends into a
ground anchor hole and is secured in place using concrete. Consult
a knowledgeable contractor if needed. During installation, verify that
inside-to-inside dimension for door frame remains consistent.

5. With door jambs attached, measure and mark height of rough
door opening. Consult drawing below and Door Frame Layout
located in Quick Start. Measure from finished grade to underside
of header.
6. Locate the 10548872 header material, measure outside-to-outside
width of door jambs, and cut header to required length.
7. Using a metal saw, cut two 2" sections and bend lip inward from
both ends of door header as shown at right (see photos F and G).
This creates two (2) tabs and allows header to attach to jambs.
Open channel of header points upward.
8. Position header so the two (2) tabs on each side overlap door
jambs (see photo H). Align header bottom with vertical support
marks made in Step 5. Ensure header is level and check
dimensions.
9. Attach front and back of header to jambs using wafer head
screws. Reinforce header by securing bent lip to vertical support
using Tek screws as shown in photo H. (Customer-supplied bolts
can also be used.)
10. After door frame is square and assembled, secure door jambs in
ground using concrete.
NOTE: Concrete should remain at least 2"- 4" below ground level
so it does not interfere with construction, installation of other end
wall components (if equipped), or door operation.
11. After assembling door frame, continue with door assembly.

Twin-Wall Single Swinging Door
SINGLE TWIN-WALL DOOR ASSEMBLY
Materials and parts needed to assemble the 115020 door
include:
• Door frame (102923), 8mm panel (113296Z096), door
hinges (FA5030), and latch (FA2410)
• Tek screws (FA4484B), neo-bonded washers
(102921B), and aluminum profile (104213)
Assemble and Attach Door
NOTE: Install polycarbonate panel with UV-protected side
toward the outside/sun. See panel film cover for details.
1. Locate door frame (102923), assemble (if needed),
and place on a flat surface.
2. Take panel and trim so length is one-quarter inch
(1/4") shorter than length of door frame.
3. Trim width of panel (if needed) so that it is one-quarter
inch (1/4") narrower than width of door frame.
NOTE: Trimming panels as instructed keeps panel
flush with door frame edge once aluminum profile
(104213) is installed.
4. Center panel on door frame.
5. Using Tek screws (FA4484B) and galvanized neo-
bonded washers, attach panel to horizontal cross tube
of door frame. Evenly space Tek screws and washers
every 12".
Photo shows panel attached to outside of door frame
and finished with aluminum (104213) U-channel.
7. To keep panel and profile in place, install Tek screws
and neo-bonded galvanized washers so screw
drills through longer edge of U-channel (underside
of panel) and washer overlaps shorter edge of
U-channel (top) as shown above. Evenly space Tek
screws every 12".
8. Locate door latch hole (5" from edge of door in cross
member) and drill 1" hole through panel at hole
location.
6. Install aluminum U-channel profile along all pannel
edges. Ends can be mitered or cut as shown.
NOTE: Attach panel in locations shown in photo to
hold panel in place while attaching aluminum profile
to panel.
To prevent interfering with latch installation, do not
install fasteners near latch mounting hole located in
frame cross tube.
Handle
9. Insert main handle of assembly through hole in door
and manuver handle and front plate into place as
shown above.
Hole in frame for door
latch. Set Step 8.

frame with a block of wood if needed.
11. Slide back mounting plate into position, align it with
mounting holes and front plate and secure using two
(2) ¼" x 3" bolts and lock nuts. Verify that latch turns
freely. Mount door latch guide (slotted plate) using the
remaining ¼" x 3" bolts. Position so latch handle is
level. See below.

15. Test door operation, adjust hinges as needed, and
install remaining Tek screws.
16. Mount latching plate to door jamb using Tek screws.
