Measure the length of the vertical tracks. Using the jamb bracket schedule, determine the place- ment of the jamb brackets for your door height and track length. To install the jamb brackets, align the Q.I. tab on the Q.I. jamb bracket with the Q.I. feature in the vertical track and turn the bracket perpendicular to the track so the mounting flange is toward the back (flat) leg of the track. Repeat for other side.
