You should check your walls for plumb using a level and a straight piece of wood equal to the height of your unit (76” or 80”).
For the wall where your door will install:
If the wall leans in or out by no more than ¼” you will be able to compensate by varying the overlap of the hinge to the door. If the wall leans in or out by more than ¼” you will not be able to install these stock doors and you should check locally for a custom door.
For the wall where your panel will install:
If the wall leans out up to 3/8” you will be able to compensate by adjusting the width of the caulk joint between the panel and the wall.
If the wall leans out more than 3/8” you will need to order the optional Caulk Adaptor. On the Retailer’s site search for “Caulking Adaptor” and add the abbreviation for your finish. For example “ Caulking Adaptor MB” for Matte Black; “Caulking Adaptor CH” for Chrome and “Caulking Adaptor BN” for Brushed Nickel. Installation instructions are included with the adaptor.
If the wall leans in up to 3/8” you will be able to compensate by adjusting the width of the caulk joint between the panel and the wall. However since this wall condition reduces the space available to install the unit, you should adjust your width. For example, if you measure 46-1/2” at the curb and your wall leans in by 1/4”, you should order your unit based on a revised measurement of 46-1/4”.
If the wall leans in more than 3/8” you will need to order the optional Caulk Adaptor as detailed above. You will also need to adjust your width as described above. For example, if you measure 46-1/2” at the curb and your wall leans in by 3/4”, you should order your unit based on a revised measurement of 45-3/4”.
