NOTE: Depending on your door, you may have Quick Install Flag Angles, Fully Adjustable Flag Angles, Riveted Vertical Track Assemblies or you may have Angle Mount Vertical Track Assemblies. Refer to Package Contents / Parts Breakdown, to determine which Flag Angles / Vertical Track Assemblies you have.

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 track assemblies must be level from side to side. If the bottom section was shimmed to level it, the vertical track as- sembly 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.

For Quick Install Flag Angles or Fully Adjustable Flag Angles: 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” spacing, between the bottom section and vertical track. Hang counterbalance lift cable over flag angle. Repeat same process for other side.

For Riveted Vertical Track Assembly: 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” spacing as shown between the bottom section and vertical track. Hang counterbalance lift cable over flag angle. Repeat same process for other side.

For Angle Mount Vertical Track Assembly: Loosely fasten the slots in the wall angle to the jamb using 5/16” x 1-5/8” lag screws. Tighten lag screws, securing the bottom slot in the wall angle, maintain 3/8” to 5/8” spacing as shown between the bottom section and vertical track. Hang counterbalance lift cable over angle mount. Repeat same process for other side.

	Tools Required: Power drill, 7/16” Socket driver

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 (third) section, intermediate (fourth) section, intermediate (fifth) section, intermediate (sixth) section and intermediate (seventh) section. Measure your sections to make sure they are the correct height as indicated on the chart.

NOTE: Make sure graduated end and center hinges are flipped down, when stacking another section on top.

Place short stem track rollers into graduated end hinges of remaining sections. 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” - 20 x 11/16” self-tapping screws.

Repeat same process for other sections, except top section.

Important: Push & hold the hinge leafs securely against the sections while
