INSTALLING THE FRAME:
Details are for frames using a combination shield and screw supplied by Steelcraft.
If using a combination shield and screw not supplied by Steelcraft, or, if you are using separate expansion shields and machine screw, please see the instructions accompanying the fasteners.
Rough Opening
The rough opening instructions shown at the left should give you adequate clearance to install the frame (See page Ins 4).
Install Frame
1. Place frame in opening. Roughly check frame for squareness and plumbness.
2. Using frame as a template*, drill 3/8” dia. x 2 1/2” deep hole in wall.
Alternate method: using frame as a template, mark wall through holes in jambs. Remove frame and drill 3/8” dia. x 2 1/2” deep holes at marks*. Replace frame in opening.
3. Install anchors (combination shield and screw) and tighten as required.
4. Shim jambs behind anchors above screws to obtain proper door opening width. Make shims from 16 and/or 12 gage galvanized steel. Shims should be 2” wide x frame jamb depth minus (-) 1/8”.
*Hole specified is for shield supplied by Steelcraft. If another fastener is being used, drill wall as specified for that shield.
Alternate with separate expansion shield and machine screws.
1. Place frame in opening. Roughly check frame for squareness and plumbness.
2. Using frame as a template mark wall through holes in jambs.
3. Remove frame and drill holes at marks on wall (hole dia. and hole depth as specified for fastener).
4. Install expansion shields in wall.
5. Replace frame in opening and anchor to wall with machine screws through dimpled holes.
6. Shim jambs behind anchors as described above.
General Notes:
Methods of sealing opening (gap) between frame and wall.
1. Apply bead of caulking. Label frames may require listed caulking.
2. Grout gap with mortar.

TYPICAL ANCHOR
INSTALLATION
UNIVERSAL ANCHOR INSTALLATION - F SERIES FRAMES
Steelcraft supplies an adjustable Universal anchor with their frames. The anchor is designed to work in the F and MU series frames, and the same anchor can be used in a wood stud or steel stud partition.
ADJUSTING ANCHOR
The anchor can be adjustable to work in other jamb depths by bending the outside flanges of the anchor.
To bend a flange, engage one ear of an anchor with another and bend the ear in or out as required.
INSTALLATION INTO F SERIES FRAME
The anchor as supplied, adjusted for the jamb depth, can be installed into a F series frame without modification.
The installation of the anchor into a F frame is as illustrated below.
Place anchor into the throat opening of the frame.
Rotate the anchor, locking it into a horizontal position between the frame faces. A hammer will aid in this operation.
Install the frame in accordance with “Steelcraft Frame Installation Instructions”.

Rotate the anchor so it is in a horizontal position. A hammer will be required to rotate the anchor.
Install the frame in accordance with
“Steelcraft Frame Installation Instructions.”
Using a hammer, rotate the anchor so that the attaching ears are extending out of the frame throat opening. This is done by striking the anchor on the back leg. Do not strike the anchor on the flat portion. Rotate the anchor until it is firmly locked into place with the flat portion of the anchor parallel to the bottom of the frame.

PS 074™ SURFACE APPLIED WEATHERSTRIP INSTALLATION
SURFACE PREPARATION:
Thoroughly clean surfaces of frame where weatherstrip is to be applied. Use a solvent cleaner such as mineral spirits or a detergent cleaner. Remove any irregularities or loose paint from the surface area.
It is recommended that the weatherstrip be applied after finish painting door and frame. Do not paint weatherstrip. Paint will not hurt the weatherstrip, but could leave it with a non-acceptable appearance.
HELPFUL HINTS:
1. The best tool to use in cutting weatherstrip is a pair of scissors.
2. Ideal temperature range to apply weatherstripping is 70° to 90°F
(21° to 32°C). Weatherstripping should not be applied when temperature is below 50°F or above 100° F (10° to 38°C).
3. To remove paper liner, fold one end of liner back against itself and peel liner down weatherstrip. This will help eliminate danger of pulling the adhesive film from the weatherstrip.
Put paper liner parallel with weatherstrip
INSTALLATION:
1. Determine position that weatherstrip is to be applied on the strike jamb, head and hinge jamb. See Fig 1.
2. Install head weatherstrip first.
a. Measure head width (rabbet to rabbet) and cut weatherstrip to that dimension.
b. Remove paper liner (see Helpful Hint 3).
c. Install head weatherstrip. Start at one end and work to the other end. Align and press strip to head while working from one end to the other.
3. Install strike jamb weatherstrip (see Fig. 2).
a. Fold paper liner back at top end (approx. 2”). Lap top end of weatherstrip about 1/8” over back leg of head strip and stick in place. See corner detail in Fig. 2 b. Peel paper liner loose (see Helpful Hint 3). Align and press strip on jam as you remove liner.
c. Cut off excess weatherstrip at bottom of jamb.
4. Install hinge jamb weatherstrip.
a. Fold paper liner back at top end (about 2”). Butt strip to head rabbet and stick in place.
b. Peel paper liner loose (see Helpful Hint 3). Align and press strip on jamb as you remove liner.
c. Cut off excess weatherstrip at bottom of jamb.
5. After installation of the weatherstrip is complete, run a finger back over the base strip to make sure that it is pressed tight against the frame.
4. Storage: do not store weatherstrip in high temperature areas.
Use weatherstrip within a year after receipt. If weatherstrip is stored for continuous use, stock should be rotated upon receipt of new material.

INSTALLATION
TEMPORARY SPREADER BARS
The temporary installation of the spreader bars shown below is designed to snap into position and establish the proper door opening width at the bottom and center of the frame.
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT A TEMPORARY SPREADED BAR BE USED IN BOTH RABBETS
TO PREVENT FRAME TWISTING. After the frame has been properly anchored, the temporary spreader bars can be removed and reused in the installation of another opening.
