� ELIXIZ E INDTJSTRIE Installation Instructions for ELIXIR Regular Outswing Doors SIZE AND ROUGH OPENING Elixir Regular Outswing doors, series 200 (prepainted steel skins), 300 (vinyl steel 6 -panel skins), & 400 (vinyl steel skins), are designed so that the rough opening dimensions are the same as the call size. (Tolerance -0, +1/4 ") Example: If a rough opening is 34" x 76 ", order a 34 x 76 door. INSTALLATION Be certain the floor is level and that the rough opening is square before attempting installation. 1. Make certain all mounting surfaces (siding seams included) are securely fastened and flat around the perimeter of the rough opening. There should be no obstructions in the opening (i.e. metal straps, belt rails, etc.). 2. Apply sealant tape to the backside of the door's mounting flange, covering all screw holes. 3. When installing the door lock, place the seal on the exterior side of the door, and position the door lock where the teeth of the key are pointing up when inserted into the lock. The drain hole will be at the bottom when installed properly. 4. Do not o • en the door or remove shi i • in cli s s or shims before installation. Opening the door before installation will destroy the proper squaring of the door. If shims are not in place, position one shim at the bottom of the door between the core and the frame. Position the other shim near the striker plate between the core and the frame. 5. Insert the door assembly carefully into the rough opening. Make certain the door sill is secure on the floor and that the frame is NOT twisted. 6. Fasten the door with screws using the following method. Drive six screws into the outer frame. Drive one in the middle, top, and bottom of the hinge side; then do the same on the lock side. At this point, open and close the door to check the sealing and workability of the door. After this check, install the remainder of screws. 1 Updated 08/05/2004
