Which adhesive to install an exterior door?

[Plupp 173289]

I recently received a Swedoor exterior door. I find the installation instructions somewhat lacking. What are the guidelines for installing the frame, and especially under the threshold? The picture states "MS Glue," but what is that? The underside of the threshold is an aluminum profile, so there isn't a large contact area there. As I understand it, should there be some kind of elastic sealant?

Use an elastic sealant for outdoor use and you’re all set.

Or follow the instructions and use an MS polymer adhesive. Always good to have at home in case the tube doesn't run out.

An example, there are plenty of different ones elsewhere.

Nice. Thanks for that. Now I know what to look for in the store.

I am facing the exact same concerns and need to assemble the entire set this weekend before the facade company arrives on Monday.
1. What is the strip they have sketched out that should be glued under the threshold?
2. How should you block under the profiled aluminum threshold? Should it not be blocked at all? If it should be blocked, should the block go across the profiles or along inside the profile?

All the windows in the house were replaced without any problems, but here it came to a halt.

I think the strip should be masonite or similar to level the threshold and stand steadily without hanging on the frame.

I think the strip should be Masonite or similar to level the threshold and ensure it stands firmly without hanging on the frame.

I have started another thread solely for installation questions about the door, where I concluded that the base must be leveled beforehand for safety-rated doors and fully glued under the threshold. I am still wondering where the strip is... As for MS Glue, Casco MultiSeal Construction Sealant works.
