IMPORTANT: If your door is to be installed prior to a finishing construction of the building’s floor, the vertical tracks and the door bottom section assembly should be installed such that when the floor is constructed, no door or track parts are trapped in the floor construction.

Important: The tops of the vertical tracks must be level from side to side. If the bottom section was shimmed to level it, the vertical track on the shimmed side must be raised the height of the shim.

Position the left hand vertical track assembly over the track rollers of the bottom section. Make sure the counterbalance lift cable is located between the track rollers and the door jamb. Drill 3/16” pilot holes into the door jamb for the lag screws.

Loosely fasten jamb brackets and flag angle to the jamb using 5/16” x 1-5/8” lag screws. Tighten lag screws, securing the bottom jamb bracket to jamb, maintain 3/8” to 5/8” spac- ing, as shown between the bottom section and vertical track. Hang cable drum assembly over flag angle.

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.

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.
