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

Using sawhorses, lay the bottom and lock sections together on a flat smooth surface. Ensure the hinges are on top of their corresponding sections.

Locate the vertical center of the lock (second) section of the door and position the lift handle’s bottom hole 4” from the bottom of the lock section along the vertical center on the outside of the door. Use the holes in the lift handle as a template to mark the hole locations.

IMPORTANT: The lift handle and the step plate need to be vertically aligned.

Drill 9/32” diameter holes through the section at each marked location. Enlarge the holes from outside the door to 1/2” diameter through the section. Assemble the outside and inside lift handles to the section using (2) 1/4” x 2-1/2” carriage bolts and (2) 1/4”-20 hex nuts and spacers.

WARNING

To avoid possible injury, lift handles that are installed within 4 inches (102mm) of a section interface shall promote vertical orientation of the hand.

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: 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.
