2-1/8” boring,

5-1/2” center to center.

INSULLATION
Frame and Body filled with insulating foam.

WEATHER STRIPPING
Rubber weather strip is applied around door and glass frame along with a rubber sweep that is attached to threshold at the bottom of the door. The combination of the weather strip and rubber sweep creates a sealing agent that makes the whole unit weather tight.

THRESHOLD AND SWEEP
The door swings 1-5/8” above the foundation to provide room for the threshold (1-1/4”) and sweep (3/8”). If the distance between the bottom of the door and foundation is to be greater than 1-5/8”, that height should be specified before installation.

GLASS

TEMPERED
For safety 1/4” or 5/8” Tempered glass is used for all doors.
DUAL PANE
Best insulation.
Two insulated glass panes sealed with air in between with metal edges. Panes are separated ¼” or 5/8”.

ROUGH OPENING

MEASUREMENTS
Given the desire size of the door unit, we will provide the builder with measurements for the rough opening. If the rough opening has been previously framed in, the door unit can be made to accommodate the rough opening. We will need exact measurements of the existing rough opening.
ROUGH OPENING
The rough opening should have triple solid studs so the unit can be securely attached.

INSTALLATION

PREPARATION
The area for the door unit should be ready for installation perfectly leveled, clean and void of obstructions.
SHEETROCK
The door unit will be flushed with ½” sheetrock unless specified before installation
AFTER INSTALLATION
Door is installed and covered with plastic to keep it from damage while the rest of the home construction is finished.

FINAL STEP

FINISH
When home construction is finished the company will send out trained installers to give the door the desired finish. It is done at the end to prevent re-touch painting.
GLASS
Glass will also be installed at that time.
HANDLES
Will also be installed and finished at this time. Handles can be purchased from us or from other hardware stores.
