Next, secure the bottom corner bracket to the bottom section using (1) 1/4”-14 x 1” tamper proof screw to the left hand bottom corner bracket, as shown.
Repeat the same process for the right hand side.
NOTE: All doors are provided with the tamper resistant fastener for the bottom corner brack- ets. However, the professional installer is most likely to have the proper tool to install this fas- tener. If the homeowner does not have the proper tool to install the tamper resistant fastener, use a regular 1/4”-20 x 2-1/4” carriage bolt and a 1/4”–20 flange hex nut in its place.
5 | Track Roller Carriers |
Tools: Power Drill, 9/32” Drill Bit, Socket Driver 7/16”, Wrench 7/16” |
Starting on left hand side of the bottom section, attach the track roller carrier with the stamp “STD” facing UP to the bottom corner bracket by aligning the four holes of the track roller carrier with the four holes in the bottom corner bracket. Secure the track roller carrier to the bottom corner bracket with (4) 1/4”-20 x 7/8” self drilling screws or (4) 1/4”-14 x 1” lag screws.
NOTE: Depending on your door, some track roller carriers will use 1/4”-14 x 1” lag screws instead of the 1/4”-20 x 7/8” self drilling screws to secure in place. If this is the case, mark and pre-drill (4) 1/8” diameter holes and secure the track roller carrier to the bottom corner bracket and bottom section using (4) 1/4”-14 x 1” lag screws.
Insert a short stem track roller and spacer into the inner holes. Repeat the same process for the right hand side.
NOTE: The track roller carrier’s inner holes are used on doors with 2” track applications; the outer holes are used on doors with 3” track applications.

6 Strutting
Tools: Power Drill, 1/8”/9/32” Drill Bit, Socket Driver 7/16”, Tape
Note: Refer to Graduated End Hinge and Strut Identification / Parts Breakdown.
Lay the short strut onto the bottom rail of the bottom section. Position the bottom of the strut 3/4” up from the bottom edge of the bottom section. Center the short strut from side to side on the section surface.
Drill pilot holes, 1” deep into the bottom section with a 1/8” drill bit.
IMPORTANT: Be extremely careful not to drill thru the section. Only drill 1” deep.
Attach the strut using (1) 1/4”-14 x 1” lag screw at each pre-drilled hole.

NOTE: Refer to the Door Section Identification, Graduated End Hinge and Strut Identification, to determine the appropriate hinges/struts for your section.
Using the appropriate graduated end hinges for the ends and depending on the width of your door, enough center hinge(s) for each pre-drilled location(s).
Starting at the upper left hand corner of the bottom section. Position the lower hinge leaf of the appropriate graduated end hinge onto the upper corner of the bottom section. Align the slots of the lower hinge leaf with the pre-drilled holes or the factory installed threads in the bottom section. Next, lay a long strut over the lower hinge leaf and over the top rail of the bottom section. Center the long strut from side to side, as shown.
For 2” Long Strut Applications:
Attach the upper slot of the graduated end hinge to the bottom section using (1) 1/4”-20 x 2-1/4” carriage bolt, (1) 1/4”–20 flange hex nut or (1) 1/4”-20 x 1-3/8” bolt. Attach the lower slot of the graduated end hinge and the upper leg of strut to the bottom section using
(1)1/4”-20 x 2-1/4” carriage bolt, (1) 1/4”–20 flange hex nut or (1) 1/4”-20 x 1-3/8” bolt. Next secure the bottom leg of strut to the bottom section using (1) 1/4”-20 x 1-3/8” bolt. Repeat for other side.
For doors with double graduated end hinges, position the second graduated end hinge next to the first (single) graduated end hinge. Using the second graduated end hinge as a template, drill pilot holes, 1” deep into the bottom section with a 1/8” drill bit.
IMPORTANT: Be extremely careful not to drill thru the section. Only drill 1” deep.
Attach the upper slot of the graduated end hinge to the bottom section using (1) 1/4”-14 x 1” lag screw. Attach the upper leg of strut to the lower slot of the graduated end hinge to the bottom section using (1) 1/4”-14 x 1” lag screw. Next secure the bottom leg of strut to the bottom section using (1) 1/4”-14 x 1” lag screw. Repeat for other side.

For Center Hinges, align the slots of the lower hinge leaf with the pre-drilled holes or at each center stile at the top rail of bottom section. Using the center hinge as a template, drill pilot holes, 1” deep into the bottom section with a 1/8” drill bit (if needed).
IMPORTANT: Be extremely careful not to drill thru the section. Only drill 1” deep.
Attach the strut and center hinge to the bottom section using (2) 1/4”-14 x 1” lag screws at each pre-drilled hole. Repeat same process for other center hinge(s).
