the frame
2.) Unscrew the #8-1-/2” Oval head TEK screws from the removable stops and remove the stops.
3.) Wipe the fixed stop clean and then apply the closed cell foam tape to the fixed stop.
4.) If there is plastic release on the foam glazing tape, pull the plastic release back about 2” from
each end of the foam tape. Pull the plastic release around the fixed stop so it can be grasped
after placing the Glasslam on the unexposed foam tape.
Steps 5- may require the assistance of another person to help hold the Glasslam in place.
5.) If there is paper release on the foam glazing tape, remove the paper release before glazing.
Spray the exposed foam tape with a mild soap solution immediately before placing the
Glasslam on the exposed foam tape.
6.) Place glazing shims, as needed, then set the Glasslam on the foam glazing tape.
7.) Adjust the Glasslam assembly, as necessary, to center the assembly in the opening.
8.) If the release is plastic, grasp the free end of the plastic release, while holding the Glasslam to
keep it from moving. Then slowly pull the plastic release off the foam tape that was applied to
the fixed stop. Press the Glasslam against the foam tape.
9.) Insert a putty knife between the PET flap and the frame rabbet. Using the putty knife pull the
PET flap up and off the frame rabbet.
10.) While holding the PET flap back away from the frame rabbet with the putty knife, use a
caulking gun to apply Dow Corning 995 silicone between the PET flap and the frame rabbet.
IMPORTANT: Ensure that the Dow Corning 995 silicone fully wets out or covers the
PET flap and comes in contact with frame rabbet.
11.) Slowly move the putty knife around the door ahead of the caulking gun and apply the
silicone around the entire opening between the PET flap and the door rabbet.
12.) Apply 1/8” x 1/2” closed cell foam tape to the removable stop.
13.) If there is plastic release on the foam glazing tape, pull the plastic release back about 2” from
each end of the foam tape. Pull the plastic release around the removable stop so it can be
grasped after placing the removable stops against the Glasslam.
14.) If there is paper release on the foam glazing tape, remove the paper. Spray the exposed foam
tape with a mild soap solution immediately before placing the removable stops against
the Glasslam.
15.) Using the alignment marks, position the removable glass stops against the glass. If stops are
too tight lightly grind the end of stop for additional clearance
16.) Install and tighten the #8 x 1-1/2” Oval Head TEK screws in the removable stops. Be careful
not to over tighten.
17.) If the release is plastic grasp the free end of the plastic release tape and slowly pull the plastic
release off the foam tape.
18.) Trim the PET flap as needed.
19.) Using the Dow Corning 995 silicone or other high quality silicone, apply a small cap bead
over the closed cell foam tape.

1) Before removing the removable stops, check to be sure there are screws in every hole. Predrill holes with a #36 bit where there are screw holes but no screws. Do not remove stops.
2) Using a pencil, mark alignment marks on the removable stops and the door.
3) Unscrew the #6 x 1-1/4” oval head TEK screws from the removable stops and remove the
removable stops. Keep the screws.
4) Apply 1/8” x 1/2” closed cell foam glazing tape to the fixed stop.
5) If there is plastic release on the foam glazing tape, pull the plastic release back about 2”
from each end of the foam tape. Pull the plastic release around the fixed stop so it can be
grasped after placing the Glasslam on the unexposed foam tape.
6) If there is paper release on the foam glazing tape, remove the paper release before glazing.
Spray the exposed foam tape with a mild soap solution immediately before placing the
Glasslam on the exposed foam tape.
7) Place glazing shims, as needed, then set the Glasslam on the foam glazing tape.
8) Adjust the Glasslam assembly, as necessary, to center the assembly in the vision light kit.
9) If the release is plastic, grasp the free end of the plastic release, while holding the Glasslam
to keep it from moving. Then slowly pull the plastic release off the foam tape that was
applied to the fixed stop.
10) Trim the PET flap so it is flush with the door face.
11) Take a putty knife and insert it between the PET flap and the edge of the cutout in the door.
Using the putty knife pull the PET flap away from the cutout in the door.
12) While holding the PET flap back away from the cutout with the putty knife, use a caulking
gun to apply Dow Corning 995 silicone between the PET flap and the steel in the cutout of
the door.
IMPORTANT: Ensure that the Dow Corning 995 silicone fully wets out or covers the
PET flap and comes in contact with the steel around the cutout in the
door.
13) Slowly move the putty knife around the door ahead of the caulking gun and apply the 995
silicone around the entire cutout in the door between the PET flap and the steel in the cut
