Method, apparatus, and kit for installation of construction items within a rough opening

摘要

A method, apparatus, and kit for adjustment of a construction unit with a rough opening. The construction unit may be a window, door, or similar construction element that requires shimming and squaring up within a rough opening. An adjustment mechanism is included that has a head section and threaded section. The head section engages the construction unit by abutment and the threaded section engages the rough opening by threaded retention. After initial embedding of the adjustment mechanism within the inner surface of the rough opening, the adjustment mechanism is rotationally engaged via a wrench for fine-tuned shimming of the construction unit.
