IMPORTANT: IF YOUR DOOR IS TO BE INSTALLED PRIOR TO A FINISHING CONSTRUCTION

ASSEMBLY SHOULD BE INSTALLED SUCH THAT WHEN THE FLOOR IS CONSTRUCTED, NO
DOOR OR TRACK PARTS ARE TRAPPED IN THE FLOOR CONSTRUCTION.
IMPORTANT: THE TOPS OF THE VERTICAL TRACKS MUST BE LEVEL FROM SIDE TO SIDE.
IF THE BOTTOM SECTION WAS SHIMMED TO LEVEL IT, THE VERTICAL TRACK ON THE
SHIMMED SIDE MUST BE RAISED THE HEIGHT OF THE SHIM.
Position the left hand vertical track assembly over the track rollers of the bottom section.
Make sure the counterbalance lift cable is located between the track rollers and the door
jamb. Drill 3/16” pilot holes into the door jamb for the lag screws.
Loosely fasten jamb brackets and flag angle to the jamb using 5/16” x 1-5/8” lag screws.
Tighten lag screws, securing the bottom jamb bracket to jamb, maintain 3/8” to 5/8” spac-
ing, as shown between the bottom section and vertical track. Hang cable drum assembly over

NOTE: Refer to door section identification, located in the pre-installation section of this
manual.
NOTE: The sections can be identified by the graduation of the factory installed graduated end
hinges. The smallest graduated end hinge on section should be stacked on top of the bottom
section, with each graduated end hinge increasing as the sections are stacked, see Parts
Breakdown on page 2.
NOTE: Make sure end and center hinges are flipped down, when stacking another section
on top.
Place track rollers into graduated end hinges of remaining sections.
NOTE: Larger doors will use long stem track rollers with double graduated end hinges.
With assistance, lift second section and guide the track rollers into the vertical tracks. Lower
section until it is seated against bottom section. Flip hinges up. Fasten center hinge(s) first;
then end hinges last using 1/4”-14 x 5/8” self tapping screws.
NOTE: To prevent center hinge leaf(s) from rotating, first secure the top middle hole of the
center hinge leaf with one 1/4” – 14 x 5/8” self-tapping screw then secure the other two
holes.
Repeat same process for other sections, except top section.
IMPORTANT: PUSH & HOLD THE HINGE LEAFS SECURELY AGAINST THE SECTIONS WHILE
SECURING WITH 1/4”-14 X 5/8” SELF TAPPING SCREWS. THERE SHOULD BE NO GAP
BETWEEN THE HINGE LEAFS AND THE SECTIONS.
NOTE: Install lock at this time (sold separately). See optional installation step, Side Lock.
