Note: Screws should NOT be angled or over driven and be certain that the frame is NOT twisted. Elixir recommends using a #8 x 3 /4" or larger screws. 7. Open the door and remove the shipping shims or fasteners. 8. When installing a door chain, make sure that the chain bracket is screwed down in the position marked by a label at the top of the door. 9. Elixir recommends that a dripcap be installed over all regular outswing doors. 10. If the Elixir door is installed properly in the rough opening, the door should not have to be removed or adjusted until the home is setup at the final destination and the perimeter blocking has been completed. What happens sometimes between installation and final setup, a house will be sitting in a position that the door could be racked. The door should not be adjusted because the door should return to the original squared position once the house is setup and leveled. If adjustments are made before final setup, adjustments will probably need to be made again. SETUP The home needs to be setup properly if the door is to work properly. 11. The home MUST be level for proper operation. We recommend the door be perimeter blocked underneath both sides of the door. For double french doors, block under both sides and in the middle. 12. After the door has been installed with hardware and the home is in a level position, check to see that the door is opening, closing, and sealing properly. 13. After the home has been setup at the final destination for at least one month, the perimeter blocking needs to be inspected to insure the home and/or blocks have not settled. If the home or blocks have settled, the perimeter blocking under the door(s) needs to be adjusted so that the blocks are secured tightly against the frame of the home. These inspections need to be conducted every two to three months or when ever the door(s) seems out of adjustment. 2 Updated 08/05/2004
