Abstract
Embodiments described herein may be directed to the functional application and method of use of a jacking screw for adjusting a window frame. In accordance with the present disclosure, adjusting the jacking screw may cause a first portion of the window frame to be lifted or lowered with respect to a second portion of the window frame. In doing so, a desired alignment of a window installed in the window frame may be achieved. This process may eliminate the use of shimming the underlying surface, thereby making it easier to install the window frame on surfaces that are not perfectly level.

- an outer sill frame operatively coupled to a mounting surface;

- and
- a window sill seal gasket operatively, wherein the window sill seal gasket engages a first surface of the window when the window is installed in the window sill frame.
