hinges to the section surface using (2) 1/4”-20 x 7/8” self drilling screws at each end and center stile location(s).

If your section does require a strut and to use strut clips (SC) to be installed: Locate and center the strut on top of the graduated end hinges and the center hinges onto the section surface. Center the strut side to side. Secure the strut, the graduated end hinges, the center hinges to the section surface using the appropriate strut clip(s), (2) 1/4”-20 x 7/8” self drilling screws at each end and center stile location(s).

IMPORTANT: Once the 1/4”-20 x 7/8” self drilling screws are snug against the lower hinge leafs, tighten an additional 1/4 to 1/2 turn to receive maximum design holding power.

IMPORTANT: Push & hold the hinge leaf securely against the section while securing with 1/4”-20 x 7/8” self drilling screws. There should be no gap between the hinge leaf and the section.

Place a short stem track roller into each graduated end hinge.

NOTE: Refer to door section identification, located in the pre-installation section of this manual to determine what size sections you need to use as your lock (second) section, inter- mediate I (third) section, intermediate II (fourth section on a five section door) and top section. Measure your sections to make sure they are the correct height as indicated on the chart.

NOTE: The graduated end and center hinges can be identified by the number stamped onto their lower hinge leaf.

NOTE: Center hinge(s) use #1 graduated end hinges.

NOTE: Refer to the strutting schedules below to determine the placement of struts for your sections. Be sure to use the schedules for the proper color of your door.

NOTE: All struts are to be installed at the top of the section.

Strut Identification: Measure your struts to determine if you have 2” and or 3” struts.

NOTE: Depending on your door, you may or may not have to install both a 2” Strut(s) and a 3” Strut(s).

NOTE: When referring to the strutting schedule charts, if you see this “(SC)”, then strut clips are required to be installed along with the strut prior to securing it to the section.

Starting on the left hand side of the bottom section, align the lower hinge leafs of the appropriate graduated end hinges over the holes at the top of the end caps of the bottom section. Next, align the lower hinge leafs of the #1 center hinges with the dimples located at the center stile(s) at the top of the section.

If your section does not require a strut to be installed: Then attach each of the lower hinge leafs to section using (2) 1/4”-20 x 7/8” self drilling screws, as shown.

If your section does require a strut to be installed: Locate and center the strut on top of the graduated end hinges and the center hinges onto the section surface. Center the strut side to side. Secure the strut, the graduated end hinges and the center

IMPORTANT: When placing short stem track rollers into the #2 graduated end hinges and higher, the short stem track roller goes into hinge tube furthest away from section.

Repeat the same process for the graduated end and center hinge attachment for all remain- ing sections except the top section, using the appropriate graduated end hinges for the lock section, the intermediate I section and the intermediate II section (if applicable). Also repeat the same process for the strutting (if applicable) along the top section.
