A. ASSEMBLE FRAME
ProVia®understands there are various methods and conditions affecting the installation of a patio
unit. We feel the most critical steps to follow are securing and shimming as instructed in this
document.
FIELD MULLED PATIO UNIT:
Refer to Section R, Field Mulling, page 22. Units must be mulled together before setting into the
opening. For units requiring heavy reinforcement, refer to included instruction.
INSTALLATION ACCESSORY:
If the patio unit is ordered with an installation accessory, refer to the included document,
'Installation Instruction Vinyl Patio Door Installation Accessories and New Construction Flashing'.
The QR code for this instruction can also be found at the end of this instruction document. Nail fin
or installation accessory must be installed on patio unit before installing into the opening.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Check to be sure each top and bottom factory
mounted jamb-side gasket is in place.
(Figure A.1)
2
Carefully lay (4) main frame assembly pieces
on a level and well supported area with the
exterior side up. Be sure the interior side is
fully protected from damage. Align each jamb
side with header and sill. Check to be sure
the jamb side screen bumpers are located at
top and facing to the exterior.
3
Secure each jamb side frame to the frame
header and sill using (5) #8 x 2” Phillips head
screws in each top and bottom location
(Pack #1). Make sure the top and bottom
factory mounted jamb gaskets are well
compressed. (Figure A.1)

1Clean rough opening of all dirt, debris, and
obstructions.
B. PREPARE OPENING
5Verify opening width and height. Opening
should be large enough to accommodate
patio door with shims and insulation. The
recommended opening size is 1⁄4" - 1⁄2"
greater per side (or 1⁄2" - 1" greater than in
total width) and 1⁄4" - 1⁄2" greater than in total
height.

(Figure B.2)
Fill all voids found with AAMA approved
low-expanding window insulation foam that
complies with ASTM C 1620. (Figure B.1)

Check for level and flat sill. Verify the
structural integrity of the opening to ensure
a proper installation. If sill is not straight
and level, place wood shims between sub-
floor and sill to correct minor leveling and
margin adjustments. (Figure B.1)

Apply flashing to sill
then apply (2) straight
beads of caulking
along length of sill and
to each corner of sill
as shown
ONLY if frame assembly
is ordered nail fin or
brickmold, apply a bead of
caulking to face of exterior
sheathing to seal against
Apply (2) generous beads of premium
caulking compound in a STRAIGHT LINE,
on top of flashing and along entire length
of rough opening sill. Place first bead of
caulking to the exterior leading edge of sill.
Place second bead towards interior (to bed
flat surface of threshold). Apply caulking in
each corner of sill as shown. (Figure B.2)
Install flashing/pan system to sill area
in accordance with local building codes
and best practices. Replace drip cap if
necessary. (Figure B.2)
If nail fin or brickmold option is used, apply
a bead of caulking to each vertical and
header face of exterior sheathing to seal. To
complete seal, apply bead of caulk from sill
to exterior sheathing, as shown. (Figure B.2)

Check opening for square. Measure
diagonally from corner to corner each side
to determine. (Figure B.1)

1Place assembled patio frame into the
opening, sill first. Center and square frame
in opening. Leave enough space for proper
shimming and insulation.
Install (1) #8 x 3" screw
into top of EXTERIOR jamb
pocket, each side
Install (1) #8" x 3" installation screw (Pack #2)
into the top EXTERIOR jamb pocket of each
fixed sash side, minimum 4" to 6" down from
top corner. Locate screw on score line. DO
NOT over tighten screw causing frame to
pull! (Figure C.1)
NOTE: If using vinyl installation accessory
5940, 5945, or 5956 nail fin, each jamb side
must be secured through the INTERIOR
jamb pocket. Pre-drill a 3⁄8" hole and install
screw into the top of the interior jamb pocket,
minimum 6" down from top corner. Secure to
second vinyl wall of frame. (Figure C.1)
(Figure C.2)
3Check for overall square of patio frame by
measuring diagonally from corner to corner,
each side. Recommended tolerance for the
diagonal measurement is 1⁄8". Adjust top
jamb screws as needed. (Figure C.1)
Level sill if needed. If sill is not straight
and level, it must be shimmed for proper
operation of the patio door.

For header frame, drill a minimum of (5) 3⁄8"
holes equally spaced at 24" maximum through
the first vinyl wall. Wider units will require
more than 5 screws. Place each end screw
hole a minimum of 4" to 6" in from corner.
Install (1) #8 x 3" screw (Pack #2) into each
pre-drilled header screw hole location. DO
NOT over tighten screws causing frame to
pull. (Figure C.4)
NOTE: DO NOT install screw hole plugs at this
time. Plugs will be installed after installation is
fully completed.

C. INSTALL FRAME (CONTINUED)
(Figure C.6)
11 Place shims next to each installation screw
location, each jamb side and header. Be
sure top jamb shims are located 4" to 6"
from top of frame and bottom shims are 4"
to 6" from bottom of frame. Be sure header
shims are located 4" to 6" from each corner. If
spacing between side jamb or header shims
is greater than 12" to 18", additional shims
may be needed to maintain margins and
stabilize frame. Use shims to adjust straight
and parallel as needed. (Figure C.6)
NOTE: To allow for vinyl expansion, DO NOT
place shims at top header, bottom sill, or
header corner locations as shown. Shimming
in these locations will cause frame distortion.
IMPORTANT! CORRECT shimming
application; stack wedge shaped shims
contrasting and plane to plane. See diagram
below. DO NOT use single wedge shims.
This will cause the frame to roll. (Figure C.5)
IMPORTANT! Be careful to NOT over
shim. Improper shimming may roll,
bow, and change margins, jeopardizing
operational performance.

CORRECT
Flat shims or wedge
shims stacked to

H. INSTALL ACTIVE SASH JAMB SIDE SCREWS AND SHIMS
Slide active sash to almost closed, check
alignment and margin of the sash strike edge
to frame. Shim active sash side frame at
each installation screw to adjust frame as
needed. Be sure top and bottom shims are
4" to 6" away from corners. Additional shims
maybe needed for proper frame alignment.
(Figure H.2) FLAT SHIMS MUST BE
USED. Be careful to NOT over shim
causing frame to roll or bow. (Figure H.3)
2
Re-check sash operation. Sash must slide in
and out of jamb pocket smoothly for proper
operation and lock function. If not, continue
to adjust shims, screws, and the adjustment
screw located on bottom sash rollers to
further align as needed.
3
IMPORTANT! CORRECT sash operation.
If jamb side frame becomes rolled
during installation, the active sash will
conflict with the frame resulting in poor
operation. The jamb side frame must
be straight and parallel to active sash.
Refer to Figure H.3 for an illustration of
proper frame to sash alignment.
(Figure H.3)
1Install (2) #8" x 3" installation screws (Pack
#2) into the EXTERIOR jamb pocket of
the active sash side, locate (2) screws
in center and evenly spaced. DO NOT
tighten screws. Screws can be used for
frame alignment and adjustment in Step 2.
(Figure H.1)
NOTE: If using installation accessory 5940,
5945, or 5956 nail fin, secure through
the INTERIOR jamb pocket. Pre-drill a
3⁄8" hole and install screws into the interior
jamb pocket. Secure to second vinyl wall of
frame.
