STEP 3

Door Section Placement.   

Refer to page 2 for correct placement 

of door sections. If the door has a Spring Latch Lock, the #2 door 
section is the best location for the outside T-lock handle. 

Bottom Reinforcing Angle and Weather Seal.

     If not already   

installed, loosely fasten the 1-1/2" X 1-1/2" bottom reinforcing 
angle to the bottom inside edge of the #1 door section with 1/4" X 1" 
thread forming screws. Fasten along the bottom of the door 
section, on each stile location. Tuck the bottom weather seal under 
the reinforcing angles, fitting into the configuration of the door 
section.   Tighten the thread forming screws to hold the bottom 
weather seal tight, under the reinforcing angle.   (See Figure 3)

The bottom reinforcing angle also acts as a full length step plate on 
non-insulated metal doors.

STEP 4

If not already assembled, attach the lift cables to the right and left 
lock-on bottom roller brackets with clevis and cotter pins. The Lift 
Cable Tension Adjuster helps equalize the right and left lift cables 
even if the door hits an object causing side twist. (See Figure 3A)
 

STEP 5

Fasten

 the right and left lock-on bottom roller brackets tight 

against the bottom corners of the #1 door section. Make sure the 
hook on the inside of the lock-on bottom roller bracket is hooked 
under the end stile on steel doors. Screws are required to lock-on 
bottom roller brackets to wood doors. (See Figure 3A)

The thread forming screws go through the lock-on bottom roller 
bracket, the bottom reinforcing angle, the inside return of the steel 
door section, and fasten tight into the 1/8" holes in the steel or 
wood stile. (See Figures 4 and 4A)

 

Do not

 remove the plastic fasteners that are pressed into the 

center stile hinge holes on metal doors. The ¼“ x 1” thread forming 
screws easily penetrate and fasten through the thin plastic heads.

  

Fasten

 the bottom half of the hinges and the #1 roller brackets to 

the top of the #1 door section.   Wood doors requires hinges to be 
fastened face down.   Insert all 4 rollers. (See Figure 4)

Note:

   The “longer stem”   bottom rollers add strength to the door 

during earthquakes and high winds.

Also 

see “Wood Door Notes” on page 22.
