graduated end hinges, center hinge(s) and strut (if applicable) are on top of their correspond-
ing sections.
INSTALLATION ON TOP SECTION: Place the strut on the top edge of the top section, as
shown. Center the strut side to side on the section, as shown. Secure the graduated end and
center hinges to the section using (2) 1/4” - 20 x 7/8” self drilling screws at each graduated
end / center hinge locations.
INSTALLATION ON ALL SECTIONS (EXCEPT TOP SECTION): Starting on the left hand side
of the bottom section, align the lower leafs of the #1 graduated end hinge over the holes at
the top of the end caps located at the top of bottom section. Next, align the lower hinge leafs
of the #1 center hinges with the dimples at the center location(s) located at the top of the
section. If applicable, place the strut on top of the graduated end and center hinges.
For Graduated End And Center Hinge Installation Only: Secure the graduated end and center
hinges to the section using (2) 1/4” - 20 x 11/16” self drilling screws at each graduated end
/ center hinge locations.
For Strut, Graduated End And Center Hinge Installation Only: Secure the strut to the gradu-
ated end and center hinges to the section using (2) strut clips (if applicable) and (2) 1/4” - 20
x 7/8” self drilling screws at each graduated end / center hinge locations.
NOTE: If your Intermediate Section has windows in it and a strut needs to be installed on that
section, strut clips will need to be used to attach it to the section.
IMPORTANT: ONCE THE 1/4” - 20 X 7/8” / 1/4” - 20 X 11/16” SELF DRILLING SCREWS ARE
SNUG AGAINST THE LOWER HINGE LEAFS, TIGHTEN AN ADDITIONAL 1/4 TO 1/2 TURN TO
RECEIVE MAXIMUM DESIGN HOLDING POWER.
Insert a short stem track roller into the hinge tube of the #1 graduated end hinges. Repeat
graduated hinge / strut attachment using the appropriate graduated end hinges and strut (if
applicable) for all remaining sections, except the top section.
NOTE: The top section only receives a strut (if applicable) and does not require graduated
end hinges and center hinges to be installed onto the section.
IMPORTANT: WHEN PLACING SHORT STEM TRACK ROLLERS INTO THE #2 GRADUATED
END HINGES AND HIGHER, THE SHORT STEM TRACK ROLLER GOES INTO HINGE TUBE
FURTHEST AWAY FROM SECTION.
