Remove packaging materials from the new insert. If shipping screws <br />are holding the unit together, separate the interior and exterior <br />frames by loosening screws. Leave the screws in the interior frame <br />and set aside. Additional screws are provided to complete assembly. <br />2. Place the lower portion <br />of the exterior frame <br />and glass on the lower <br />edge of the door <br />opening. Horizontally <br />center the frame and <br />glass into the opening <br />and tilt up until the <br />frame is flush against <br />the door. <br />3. Position the interior <br />frame in the opening <br />using the press fit <br />alignment pins located <br />on the frame. <br />4. Secure the frame halves <br />together by driving <br />the screws through <br />the interior frame and <br />into the exterior frame <br />with a Phillips head <br />screwdriver until snug. <br />Power drivers can be <br />used on the lowest <br />torque setting. Screws must then be checked with a hand screwdriver. <br />5. Finishing instructions are provided on the label attached to the door <br />glass. Please read this BEFORE removing the label. <br />6. Insert the provided screw hole plugs over all exposed screw heads. <br />7. Clean glass with mild soap and water. <br />Remove Old Glass Insert <br />NOTE: Handling glass can be dangerous. Glass inserts can be <br />heavy and awkward. Use additional help and always wear <br />protective clothing. <br />1. If the old insert has <br />screw plugs over the <br />screw heads in the <br />interior frame, drive a <br />drywall screw into the <br />screw plug until it is <br />loose from the hole. <br />Remove all remaining <br />screw plugs in the <br />same manner. <br />2. Support the glass insert <br />while removing screws <br />to keep it from falling. <br />Remove the screws <br />from the interior frame <br />from the bottom up. <br />3. When all the screws <br />are removed, slide the <br />edge of a putty knife <br />between a top corner <br />of the interior frame <br />and door. Work around <br />the entire perimeter <br />until the interior frame <br />is loose. <br />4. Repeat this procedure around the exterior frame. Remove the glass <br />insert and set aside in a safe location. <br />5. Clean both sides of the door where the new glass insert will contact <br />the panel with a clean rag dampened with paint thinner. Remove all <br />the old weatherstrip and then wipe again with a clean rag. <br />Astragal Weatherstrip <br />1. Open active door all <br />the way. <br />2. Locate the accessible <br />weatherstrip. <br />3. Grip weatherstrip and <br />gently pull out of kerf. <br />4. Cut new weatherstrip <br />to length. <br />5. Work the attachment <br />barb into the kerf from <br />one end to the other. <br />Foam Wedges <br />The foam wedges are used <br />to complete the weatherstrip <br />seal, at each bottom corner <br />of the operating door slab(s). <br />Doors are provided with one <br />of two types of wedges. One <br />has an up-turned L-shaped <br />leg and the other doesn’t <br />(shown). Contact us for the <br />appropriate replacement. For <br />both types, the thin edge <br />faces the edge of the door <br />as it swings closed. Apply a <br />bead of sealant (remove old <br />sealant first if necessary) at the <br />intersection of the jambs, brickmoulds, thresholds and floor as shown. <br /> <br />Sealant <br />Wedge <br />Threshold <br />Astragal <br />weatherstrip <br />Active Passive
