Opinions wanted!
Thank you all for answering my last post about exterior door frames--which was for a set of french doors.
This question is about constructing an entryway door set with jambs and sill. What is the general consensus for attaching the door jambs to the door sill--attache or not? I plan to order a aluminum sill and build the door jambs, but am unsure as to whether the sill should have screws running through it into the inner door jamb on each side (the jamb that actually surrounds the door itself)?
I am mimicking the set up that we have at work, single entry door and two side lites with a sloped sill, but cannot actually see how it was constructed. From what I can tell the outer side jambs appear to be attached to the side of the sill and the middle jambs appear to attached to the top of the sill.
Thank you!
