unit. We feel the most critical steps to follow are securing and shimming as instructed in this
document.

opening. For units requiring heavy reinforcement, refer to included instruction.

'Installation Instruction Vinyl Patio Door Installation Accessories and New Construction Flashing'.
The QR code for this instruction can also be found at the end of this instruction document. Nail fin
or installation accessory must be installed on patio unit before installing into the opening.
