Preparation
1. Check rough opening. DO NOT install the door unless the rough opening is correct.
Fig. 1
2. Check rough opening width and height at three points. There should be no more than 1/8" variation
between these measurements (Fig. 1)
3. Check squareness of the rough opening. Measure the opening two ways diagonally. Diagonal
measurement will be the same if the opening is square and the variation does not exceed 1/4" (Fig. 2).

Rev: 09.11.20 Page 4 CCD-0002742
2. Place door into rough opening, then center the door in the opening, making sure it is square in the
opening. Level the frame sill (Fig. 3B) and shim if necessary.
NOTE: Keep the moving panel closed and locked during installation.
3. Drive the first fastener in to the mounting flange, at approximately the center of the frame sill (Fig. 3B).
All fasteners installed from the exterior of the unit. Square and plumb the jambs (Fig. 3C). Then, drive a
fastener in to the mounting flange at each jamb, approximately at midpoint. Align frame head (Fig. 3D)
and secure with a fastener in to the mounting flange, approximately at midpoint.
1. Apply a 1/8" thick, suitable, good-quality, non-hardening water-resistant sealant tape (putty or butyl
type) to the full perimeter of the backside of the mounting flange (Fig. 3A). If a gunnable sealant is
used, a minimum 1/4" bead should be applied. The bead should be centered over the mounting holes
on the interior surface of the mounting flange.
NOTE: The use of foam tapes is not recommended for door installation.
Installation
There are roadside and curbside versions of this door assembly. Make sure that the correct door is being
installed in the unit. The fixed panel side of the door assembly should be towards the front of the unit.

4. Shim around the jambs as necessary and drive rest of the fasteners through all the holes provided
around the perimeter (Fig. 4A). Screws, nails or staples may be used for the installation, but the
fastener must penetrate the stud at least 1", allowing for exterior sheathing. The pre-punched
mounting holes in the flanges are to assist when using #8 pan head screw fasteners.
5. Adjust rollers in the moving panel by turning the screw inside the hole (Fig. 5A) at the bottom of the
moving panel with a Phillips head screwdriver. When adjusting the rollers, lift up on the panel to take
the load off the adjusting screw. Move the rollers either up or down until the panel has an even reveal
at the lock side frame jamb (Fig. 4B) and/or fixed meeting rail (Fig. 4C).

The drill should be adjusted so that there is not excessive dimpling or fracturing of the mounting
anges, which could cause distortion of the door frame.
Any fastener that is left exposed to the weather shall be of a plated type that will not corrode.

6. Shim between wall studs and the door frame behind the lock keeper (Fig. 4D). Remove the two #8 x
1/2" Phillips pan head (PPH) screws from the lock keeper and discard.
7. Install the four provided #10 x 2 1/2" PPH screws into the striker (Fig. 6A) and lock keeper (Fig. 6B) into
the door frame. Make sure the lock engages the keeper properly and make necessary adjustments by
moving the lock keeper up or down.

8. Seal the entire perimeter of the door with a good quality sealant (Fig. 7).

9. After the door has been installed, the perimeter of the mounting flange should be covered with siding
material. Leave a gap between the edge of the siding material (Fig. 8A) and the door frame (Fig. 8B) to
allow for siding expansion and contraction.

Screen Door
1. Make sure the sliding screen handle is on the same side as the sliding door handle. Rotate the screen
door if necessary. The handle lever should face the outside.
2. Remove bug sweep (Fig 9A) from the edge of the screen door.

3. Fit the screen door (Fig. 10A) into the top sill track (Fig. 10B) of the sliding door frame.
Fig. 10
4. Once the screen in the top sill track, lift the bottom of the screen (Fig. 11A) with a putty knife or similar
flat-blade tool (Fig. 11B). Make sure the putty knife goes under each wheel in the door and lift it onto
the sill guide rail.
NOTE: The bottom rollers must sit on the rail for the screen door to function properly.
5. Test the screen door to make sure it opens and closes smoothly.

Post-installation Check
After installation, check the following for functionality:
1. Slide the door open and closed to make sure there is no binding of the door. If the door is not opening
correctly, re-check that the door frame is square in the opening.
2. Check the locking mechanism to make sure it is correctly aligned and works properly. If necessary,
adjust the striker and lock keeper.
6. If the screen door needs to be adjusted, adjust the height of the rollers by adjusting the screws at the
top and bottom of the screen (Fig. 12A).
Fig. 13

7. Attach the bug sweep by pressing it into the bug sweep channel. Trim the excess where the bug
sweep is flush with the bottom of the screen.
8. With the latch handle in the up position, mark where the bottom of the latch rests (Fig 13A) on the side
of the screen door. Close the screen almost completely and mark that same location on the patio door
frame (Fig. 13B).
9. Align the latch hook so that the top of the hook is even with the mark made on the patio door frame (Fig 13C).
10. Attach one screw (Fig. 13D) in to the oblong slot. Adjust until the screen door latches, then drill a
second pilot hole and attach the second screw (Fig. 13E).
