Always read the Pella® Limited Warranty before purchasing or installing Pella products. By
installing this product, you are acknowledging that this Limited Warranty is part of the terms of the
sale. Failure to comply with all Pella installation and maintenance instructions may void your Pella
product warranty. See Limited Warranty for complete details at http://warranty.pella.com.
These instructions were developed and tested for use with typical wood frame wall construction in
a wall system designed to manage water. These instructions are not to be used with any other
construction method. Installation instructions for use with other construction methods, multiple
units or bow and bay windows, may be obtained from Pella Corporation or a local Pella retailer,
and site conditions unique to your project may require an installation method different from
these instructions and additional care. Determining the appropriate installation method is the
responsibility of you, your architect, or construction professional.

SETTING AND FASTENING THE DOOR
2
A. Remove plastic wrap and cardboard packaging from door. DO
NOT remove plastic shipping spacers. The shipping spacers will help
keep the door square during installation. DO NOT unlock or open the
door until it is fully fastened.
Ó
Note: If screens, grilles or hardware are removed from the door at
this time, label them and store them in a protected area.
B. Fold out installation fin to 90°. Be careful not to remove or tear the
lN CORNERSꢇ
Note: If the fin is not at 90°, the door will not line up correctly on
the interior. If using the optional fin at the sill, apply the fin and fin
corners, then proceed to Step D. Sealant lines from Step C are not
required when using the optional fin at the sill.
Óꢀ

sure that the screw passes through the shims and into the structural framing.
Note: This step does not apply to center hinge double doors.
L. Check door operation. Open and close the door to check for proper operation. Make
sure the door will latch correctly.
Note: If there are any problems with the operation, recheck and
adjust the reveal.
M. Adjust the reveal if needed. The door panels have adjustable hinge
LEAFSꢇ 5SING A ꢂꢀꢌꢅ ALLEN WRENCH TURN THE CENTER SCREW CLOCKWISE TO
increase the space between the hinge side of the frame and the door
panel, or counter clockwise to increase the space between the door
panel and the lock side of the frame. DO NOT turn the screws more
than a 3/4 turn in either direction. In some cases it may be necessary
to loosen and then tighten the top and bottom hinge screws to obtain
full hinge adjustment. If necessary, loosen the top and bottom screws,
and immediately retighten them. With the screws retightened, turn the
adjustment hinge screw. If the hinge will not adjust any further then
it is adjusted as far as it will go. If more clearance is needed adjust the
shims between the frame and the rough opening.
Óꢊ
Ó
Note: DO NOT adjust the hinge with the top and bottom screws
loose; this could force the hinge to adjust beyond its design capability
which can cause the hinge to bind, damage the hinge and/or pull out
the screws. A 3/4 turn of the center screw provides approximately
1/16" adjustment.
N. On doors with a lock strike in the side, DRILL A ꢂꢀꢌꢅ DIAMETER X ꢃꢅ DEEP
PILOT HOLE THROUGH THE LOCK STRIKE AND INTO THE ROUGH OPENINGꢇ )NSERT A ꢋꢌ X

ꢌꢅ FROM THE TOP OF THE DOOR FRAMEꢍ ON THE LATCH SIDE OF THE FRAMEꢇ
INTEGRATING THE DOOR TO
THE WATER RESISTIVE BARRIER
3
Note: The flashing tape must be applied approximately 1/2"
onto the frame cladding at the jambs and head. Pre-folding the
tape at 1/2" before removing the paper backing will make it
easier to apply the tape correctly. If the siding is less than 1/2"
thick, adjust the dimension of the fold so the exterior sealant
line will cover the exterior edge of the tape.
A. Apply side flashing tape. Cut two
pieces of flashing tape 4" longer than
the frame height of the door. Apply one
piece 1/2" onto the frame cladding,
OVER THE NAILING lN AND ONTO THE WATER
resistive barrier on each side. The tape
SHOULD EXTEND ꢃꢅ ABOVE THE TOP OF THE
door and 2" below the bottom of the
DOORꢇ 0RESS THE TAPE DOWN lRMLY WHILE

B. Apply top flashing tape. Cut a piece of flashing tape long
ENOUGH TO GO ACROSS THE TOP OF THE DOOR AND EXTEND AT
least 1" past the side flashing tape on both sides. Apply
the tape 1/2" onto the frame cladding, over the top
NAILING lN AS SHOWNꢇ &OLD THE OVERLAPPING TAPE DOWNꢍ
AND PRESS ALL TAPE DOWN lRMLYꢇ
Note: The top flashing tape must overlap the

D. Apply flashing tape to diagonal cuts. Cut pieces of
flashing tape at least 1" longer than the diagonal cuts
in the water resistive barrier. Apply the tape covering
the entire diagonal cut in the water resistive barrier
at both upper corners of the door.
Note: Be sure to overlap the top corners (3D).

INTERIOR SEAL
Caution: Ensure use of low pressure polyurethane window and door insulating foams and strictly
follow the foam manufacturer’s recommendations for application. Use of high pressure foams or
improper application of the foam may cause the door frame to bow and hinder operation.

A. Apply insulating foam sealant. From the interior,
INSERT THE NOZZLE OF THE APPLICATOR APPROXIMATELY ꢂꢅ
deep into the space between the door and the rough
*OUFSJPS
opening and apply a 1" deep bead of foam. This
WILL ALLOW ROOM FOR EXPANSION OF THE FOAM AND WILL
MINIMIZE SQUEEZE OUTꢇ )F USING FOAM OTHER THAN 'REAT
Stuff ™ Window and Door Insulating Foam Sealant by
the Dow Chemical Company, allow the foam to cure
{ꢉ
COMPLETELY ꢁUSUALLY ꢌ TO ꢃꢆ HOURS BEFORE PROCEEDING
TO THE NEXT STEPꢇ
Note: DO NOT completely fill the space from the
back of the fin to the interior face of the opening.
B. Check the door operation by opening and closing the door.
Note: If the door does not operate correctly, check to make sure it is still plumb, level,
square and that the sides are not bowed. If adjustments are required, remove the foam
with a serrated knife. Adjust the shims, and reapply the insulating foam sealant.
SEALING THE DOOR TO THE EXTERIOR WALL CLADDING
When applying siding, brick veneer or other exterior finish material, leave adequate space between
the door frame and the material for sealant. Refer to the illustration that corresponds to your
finish material.
