Measure the length of the vertical tracks. Using the jamb bracket schedule, determine the
placement of the jamb brackets for your door height and track length. To install the jamb
brackets, align the Quick Install tab on the Quick Install jamb bracket with the Quick Install
feature in the vertical track and turn the bracket perpendicular to the track so the mounting
flange is toward the back (flat) leg of the track. Repeat for other side.
