Starting with the left hand side of the top section, align the top of the top fixture base 3” down from the top of the top section or directly below a strut (if applicable). Ensure the top fixture assembly is level and aligned with the edge of the top section. Secure the top fixture base to the end stile using (4) 1/4”-14 x 7/8” self drilling screws. Loosen the 5/16”- 18 hex nut, located on the top fixture slide. Insert short stem track roller into top fixture slide. Repeat for other side.

IMPORTANT: If no strut was installed on the top section, place (1) 1/4”-14 x 7/8” self drilling screw into the top pre-punched hole in each endstile of the top section.

	Tools: Power Drill, 7/16” Drill Bit, Phillips Screwdriver, Tape Measure

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

On the inside of the bottom section, locate the vertical center of the door.

Center the inside step plate vertically no higher than 8” from the bottom of the door to the top of the step plate.

IMPORTANT: Do not mount the step plate higher than 8” from the bottom of the section.

Using the inside step plate’s second top most hole and bottom hole as a template, drill 7/16” diameter holes through the entire section.

NOTE: Be extremely careful to keep drill straight when drilling through the section.

Now insert the outside step plate into the holes through the front of the door, mounting the two step plates back to back. Secure step plates together with two No. 8 screws through the inside step plate and into the outside step plate.

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.
