STEP 9 – Installing Door Sections
Step 9-1:
Place the section in the opening so that it is against
the stop molding and centered from side to side. Place a level on
the section and use a piece of wood under one end or the other
(if necessary) to make the section level. (FIG. 9-A)
Step 9-2:
Remove the level and drive a 3” nail in the jambs at
each end and bend it over the edge of the section to hold the
section in place. (FIG. 9-B)
NOTE:
These nails are all that will hold the stacked door section
in place until the tracks are secured to the back jambs. Be sure
the nails hold the sections firmly in position.
Step 9-3:
With the Table 9-A below, determine the order in
which you will attach the remaining sections.
Table 9-A - Section Order for Various Door Heights
* Section with general safety label.
Step 9-4:
Place the next section face down on the saw horses.
Identify the bottom edge as shown in the illustration. (FIG. 9-C)
Attach a number 2 hinge to each end at the top edge using
1/4” x3/4” self-drilling screws. Remember that the number
is stamped on the side of the hinge that is to be attached to
the section. (FIG. 9-C)
Step 9-5:
Attach center hinge(s) to top rail fin at each center stile
location using 1/4" x 3/4" bolts and 1/4" flange nuts. If the
section requires an aluminum angle, attach to top rail fin (FIG.
7-F & FIG. 7-G, page 12).
Step 9-6:
Install lift handle as shown on previous page.
