General Troubleshooting Guidelines
I.
Have the installation instructions been followed? (If not,
all warranties, Expressed or Implied, without limitation are
disclaimed.)
II.
Warped/Bowed Panels

Is the unit plumb and level? Check frame with a minimum 4' level.
-
Are margins equal around the unit?
-
Units must be allowed to acclimate to the surroundings for a period of time.
III. Door Operation
- Are all margins equal around the operating panel(s)?
- Shimming is very important in maintaining proper margins.
- On Center Swing Doors check instruction for maintaining head margin.
- Note where unit is sticking bottom, side, top.
IV. Leakage
-
Determine where water is coming in.
-
Is there caulking under the seal?
-
Are the margins equal around the operating panels(s)?
-
Is the unit properly finished if an unfinished unit?
-
Have white pads been removed from corners unit?
