	Tools: Power drill,7/16” Socket driver

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

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

Locate the bottom section, (2) #1 graduated end hinges (wide body) for the end stiles and depending on the width of your door, enough #1 center hinge(s) (narrow body) for each of the pre-marked center hinge locations. Starting on the left hand side of the bottom section, align the lower hinge leaf of the #1 graduated end hinge over the holes, located at the top of the end caps. Attach the graduated end hinge lower hinge leafs to the section using (3) 1/4”-14 x 7/8” self drilling screws. Next, align the lower hinge leafs of the #1 center hinges (narrow body) with the pre-marked locations at the center locations at the top of the section. Attach lower hinge leafs of the #1 center hinges (narrow body) to the section using (2) 1/4”-14 x 7/8” self drilling screws.

IMPORTANT: Once the 1/4”-14 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”-14 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. Repeat graduated hinge at- tachment using the appropriate graduated end hinges for all remaining sections, except the top section.
