We do not provide step-by-step installation instructions for our doors. Our products are engineered for professional installation by experienced contractors, trim carpenters, or general contractors who understand the complexities of exterior door installation.
Installing an exterior door requires precision and experience. These units are heavy and must be carefully aligned within the framed opening to ensure proper function and long-term performance. Even minor installation errors can result in air or water leaks, operational issues, lock misalignment, or frame distortion.
Because each project may involve different wall structures, threshold transitions, floor elevations, site exposures, and local code requirements, a universal set of instructions is not practical or advisable. In fact, following a generic guide can sometimes cause more harm than good if it's not suited to your specific conditions.
We do not consider exterior door installation to be a DIY project unless the installer has advanced carpentry skills and the tools required to lift, shim, square, and properly seal the unit. A quality installation is critical to the appearance, performance, and durability of your door.
If your contractor has any specific questions during installation, our team is available to assist with general guidance on specifications such as rough opening sizes, swing configurations, and finishing recommendations.
