ADJUSTING TOP FIXTURE SLIDE(S):
With horizontal tracks installed, you can now adjust the top fixtures. Vertically align the top
section of the door with the lower sections. Once aligned, position the top fixture slide(s) out
against the horizontal track. Maintaining the slide’s position, tighten the 5/16” - 18 hex nut(s)
to secure the top fixture slide(s) to the top fixture base(s). Repeat for other side.
REVERSING THE TOP FIXTURE SLIDE(S) (IF NEEDED):
NOTE: Depending on your application, you may need to reverse the top fixture slide(s) for
more adjustment, if needed, prior to securing it to the top fixture base (s).
Remove the top fixture slide(s) by removing the 5/16” - 18 hex nut(s). Remove the track roller
from the top fixture slide and flip the top fixture slide in the opposite direction. Re-insert the
track roller back into the top fixture slide(s) and loosely fasten the top fixture slide(s) to the
bracket using 5/16” - 18 x 3/4” carriage bolt(s) and 5/16” - 18 hex nut(s), as shown. Now
follow the instructions at the top of this step “Adjusting top fixture slide(s)”.

NOTE: End brackets are right and left hand.
NOTE: Depending on your door, you might have to break the end bearing brackets apart,
prior to installing them.
Attach the left hand end bearing bracket through either the end bearing bracket’s upper or
lower slots to the left hand horizontal track angle using (2) 3/8”-16 x 3/4” truss head bolts
and (2) 3/8”-16 nuts.
IMPORTANT: THE END BEARING BRACKET’S LOWER SLOTS ARE USED ON DOORS WITH
12” RADIUS TRACK; THE UPPER SLOTS ARE USED ON DOORS WITH 15” RADIUS TRACK.
Secure the top of the end bearing bracket to the jamb with the number of 5/16” x 1-5/8” lag
screw(s) shown.
NOTE: It is recommended that 5/16” lag screws are pilot drilled using a 3/16” drill bit, prior
to fastening.
Repeat for other side.

NOTE: Refer to the Package Contents and or Parts Breakdown to determine if your door
came with a coupler assembly.
NOTE: If your door came with a coupler assembly, the mounting surface needs to be a mini-
mum of 17” wide. The two center bearing brackets will need to be spaced 12” to 14” apart at
the center of the door, as shown.
Locate the center of the door.
If your door did not come with a coupler: Mark a vertical pencil line on the mounting surface
above the door, at the center.
If your door did come with a coupler: Mark a vertical pencil line on the mounting surface
above the door, at the center. Split the difference up and position the (2) center bearing
brackets apart from each other. Mark two vertical pencil lines, one for each center bearing
bracket onto the mounting surface above the door.
Measure from the center of the bearing, in one of the end bearing brackets, downwards,
to the top the door. Using that measurement, measure that distance upwards from the top
of the door to the mounting surface and mark a horizontal pencil line which intersects the
vertical pencil line(s). Align the edge of the center bracket(s) with the vertical pencil line and
the center of the center bracket(s) with the horizontal pencil line; this is to ensure the torsion
shaft is level between the center and end bearing brackets.
Attach the center bracket(s) to the mounting surface, using (2) 5/16” x 1-5/8” lag screws and
(1) 5/16” x 2” tamper-resistant lag screw.
NOTE: It is recommended that 5/16” lag screws are pilot drilled using a 3/16” drill bit, prior
to fastening.
IMPORTANT: USE A 5/16” X 1-5/8” TAMPER-RESISTANT LAG SCREW INSTEAD OF THE
5/16” X 2” TAMPER-RESISTANT LAG SCREW IF MOUNTING SURFACE IS MOUNTED OVER
MASONRY. TAMPER-RESISTANT LAG SCREW MUST BE ATTACHED THROUGH THE BOTTOM
HOLE OR SLOT OF THE CENTER BRACKET(S).
