Top Fixtures

Tools: Power drill, 7/16” Socket driver

NOTE: If your door came with two top fixtures (A), then one top fixture and a short stem track roller are required for each side.

NOTE: If your door came with four top fixtures (B), then two top fixtures and a long stem track roller are required for each side.

Note: Refer to Door Section Identification / Parts Breakdown.

Place the top section face down on a couple of sawhorses or flat clean/ smooth surface.

NOTE: Depending on your door, refer to illustrations (A) or (B) to determine how to install the top fixtures.

Follow the corresponding steps below:

(A): Starting on the left hand side, align the edge of the top fixture parallel to the top section edge. Using the top fixture as a template, mark and pre-drill (3) 9/32” diameter holes through the top section. Loosely attach the top fixture to the top section using (2) 1/4”-20 x 2-1/2” carriage bolts and (2) 1/4-20 flange hex nuts. Insert a short stem track roller into the top fixture slide. Repeat the same process for the right hand side.

NOTE: Refer to the Door Section Identification and Strut Identification, to determine if the top section requires a short strut to be installed.

Lay the short strut onto the top rail of the top section. Position the top of the strut 3/4” down from the top edge of the top section. Center the short strut from side to side on the section surface.

Drill pilot holes, 1” deep into the top section using a 1/8” drill bit.

IMPORTANT: Be extremely careful not to drill thru the section. Only drill 1” deep.

Attach the strut using (2) 1/4”-14 x 1” lag screws at each on each end and center stile (aligned with hinges) locations.

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 / wall angle 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.

For flag angle track assemblies:

Loosely fasten jamb brackets and flag angle to the jamb using 5/16” x 1-5/8” lag screws, as shown.

For wall angle track assembly:

Loosely fasten wall angle to the jamb using 5/16” x 1-5/8” lag screws, as shown.

If you have 2” vertical tracks:

Tighten lag screws, securing the bottom jamb bracket/bottom slot to jamb, maintain 3/8” to 5/8” spacing, between the bottom section and vertical track.
