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, between the bottom section and vertical track. Hang counterbalance lift cable over flag angle. Repeat same process for other side.

Note: Larger doors will use long stem track rollers with double graduated end hinges.

With assistance, lift second section and guide the track rollers into the vertical tracks. Lower section until it is seated against bottom section. Flip hinges up. Fasten center hinge(s) first; then end hinges last using 1/4”–14 x 7/8” self-drilling 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 7/8” self-drilling screws. There should be no gap between the hinge leafs and the sections.

Note: Install lock at this time (sold separately). See optional installation step, Side Lock.

Place the top section in the opening. Temporarily secure the top section by driving a nail into the header near the center of the door and bending it over the top section. Now, flip up the graduated end and center hinge leaves, hold tight against section, and fasten center hinges first and end hinges last (refer to step, Stacking Sections). Vertical track alignment is critical. Position flag angle between 1-11/16” (43 mm) to 1-3/4” (44 mm) from the edge of the door; tighten the bottom lag screw. Flag angles must be parallel to the door sections. Repeat same process for other side.

Important: the dimension between the flag angles must be door width plus 3-3/8” (86mm) to 3-1/2” (89 mm) for smooth, safe door operation.

For Quick Install Track:

Complete the vertical track installation by securing the jamb bracket(s) and tightening the other lag screws. Repeat for other side.

For Fully Adjustable track:

Complete the vertical track installation by securing the jamb bracket(s) and tightening the other lag screws. Push the vertical track against the track rollers so that the track rollers are touching the deepest part of the curved side of the track; tighten all the track bolts and nuts. Repeat for other side.

Note: Refer to door section identification, located in the pre-installation section of this manual.

Note: The sections can be identified by the graduation of the factory installed graduated 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 end and center hinges are flipped down, when stacking another section on top.

Place track rollers into graduated end hinges of remaining sections.
