NOTE: The sections can be identified by the graduation of the factory installed 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 graduated end and center hinges are flipped down, when stacking another
section on top.
NOTE: Larger doors will use long stem track rollers with double graduated end hinges.
Place track rollers into graduated end hinges of remaining sections.
With assistance, lift second section and guide the track rollers into the vertical tracks. Lower
section until it is seated against bottom section. Align vertical marks in the upper alignment
sticker, with the lower alignment sticker on right hand side, on the back of door. Keep sec-
tions aligned and 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.
NOTE: Larger doors with double graduated end hinges, fasten both hinges to connect the
sections using 1/4” - 14 x 5/8” self-tapping screws.
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.
