Legacy Manufacturing Installation Instructions

Before Installation

1. For proper adhesion, clean the surface of the frame where the gasketing is to be applied. Remove any impediments such as dust, dirt, oil, grease, or loose paint. Solvent cleaner or common detergent cleaner may be used.
2. Ensure the surface area is completely dry before beginning the installation process.
3. Gasketing is best applied at a temperature range of 70 to 90°F (21 to 32°C). Do not apply if the temperature falls below 50°F (10°C) or exceeds 100°F (38°C).
4. Gasketing should be installed after the doors and frames have been finish painted and the paint has dried.

To Install

1. Measure and cut the gasket to fit the head and jambs. The first piece of gasketing should be the head piece and applied on the entire length of the head. Remove the paper backing of the self-adhesive strip (PSA) about 1' to 2' (304.8 to 609.6mm) at a time. Align and install gasketing into place. Press firmly for proper adhesion. Important: Do not stretch the seal during installation.
2. Install the lock jamb gasketing next, following the procedures outlined in step 1. The lock side and head clearance should be considered.
3. Install the hinge jamb gasketing last, following the procedures outlined in step 1. The hinge side clearance should be considered.
4. After installation, check to ensure the gasketing does not obstruct the operation of the door.

Visual Aid Description: The document includes diagrams illustrating the application points for gasketing on door frames, indicating clearance areas on the hinge side and lock side/head. It also shows the self-adhesive backing (PSA) on the gasketing strips for models #5881S-BK, #5883S-BK, and #5884S-BK.
