 7.
Apply
several thick beads of silicone caulk to the subfloor at the bottom of
the door opening. Also apply silicone caulk over the building paper on
the front edges of the jack studs and header. |
8. Center the door unit in the rough opening and push the brick molding tight against the sheathing. Have a helper hold the door unit in place until it is nailed. |
 9.
From inside, place pairs of wood wedge
shims together to form flat shims (bottom), and insert shims into the
gaps between the door jambs and framing members. Insert shims at the lockset
and hinge locations, and every 12 inches all the way around the jambs. |
10. Using a carpenter's level, make sure the door unit is plumb. Adjust the shims, if necessary, until the door is plumb and level. Fill the gaps between the jambs and the framing members with loosely packed fiberglass insulation. |
