Place the top section in the opening. Temporarily secure the top section by driving a nail into
the header near the center of the door and bending it over the top section. Now, flip up the
graduated end hinge and center hinge leaves, hold tight against section, and fasten center
hinges first and end hinges last (refer to step, Stacking Sections). Vertical track alignment
is critical. For 2” track, position flag angle/wall angle between 1-11/16” (43 mm) to 1-3/4”
(44 mm) from the edge of the door; tighten the bottom lag screw. For 3” track, position flag
angle/wall angle between 2-3/16” (56 mm) to 2-1/4” (57 mm) from the edge of the door;
tighten the bottom lag screw.
Flag angles/wall angles must be parallel to the door sections. Repeat same process for other
side.
IMPORTANT: THE DIMENSION BETWEEN THE FLAG ANGLES MUST BE:
FOR 2” TRACK APPLICATIONS: DOOR WIDTH PLUS 3-3/8” (86MM) TO 3-1/2” (89 MM) FOR
SMOOTH, SAFE DOOR OPERATION.
FOR 3” TRACK APPLICATIONS: DOOR WIDTH PLUS 4-7/8” (124MM) TO 5” (127 MM) FOR
SMOOTH, SAFE DOOR OPERATION.
Complete the vertical track installation by securing the jamb bracket(s) or slots in the wall
angle and tightening the other lag screws. Push the vertical track against the track rollers so
that the track rollers are touching the deepest part of the curved side of the track; tighten all
the track bolts and nuts. Repeat for other side.

To install horizontal track, place the curved end over the top track roller of the top section.
Align the bottom of the horizontal track with the top of the vertical track. Tighten the hori-
zontal track to the flag angle/wall angle with (2) 1/4”-20 x 9/16” track bolts and (2) 1/4”-20
flange hex nuts.
WARNING WARNING
DO NOT RAISE DOOR UNTIL HORIZONTAL TRACKS ARE SECURED AT REAR,
AS OUTLINED IN STEP, REAR BACK HANGS, OR DOOR COULD FALL FROM
OVERHEAD POSITION CAUSING SEVERE OR FATAL INJURY.
Level the horizontal track assembly and bolt the horizontal track angle to the first encoun-
tered slot in the flag angle/wall angle using (1) 3/8”-16 x 3/4” truss head bolt and (1) 3/8”-
16 hex nut. Repeat for other side.
Remove the nail that was temporarily holding the top section in place, installed in step, Top
Section.
IMPORTANT: FAILURE TO REMOVE NAIL BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO RAISE DOOR COULD
CAUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE TO TOP SECTION.
NOTE: If an opener will be installed, position horizontal tracks slightly above level.
