CONTINUED***

Set

the assembled #1 door section on the strips of cardboard, placed on the floor in

STEP 1. The two rollers on the left side of the #1 door section fit into the left vertical
track first, before setting the #1 door section on the cardboard strips. Center
between the RA Shields. (See Figure 11)

Fit

the right vertical track over the two rollers on the right side and fasten with ¼“ x ½”

short neck carriage bolts and lock nuts. Finger tighten only until STEP 15.
(See Figure 11)

STEP 9

Fasten

the T-Lock handle of the optional safety spring latch lock system if provided

to the #2 door section, following the instructions in the lock package.

STEP 10

Fasten

the bottom half of the center hinges only to the top of the #2 door section.

Install the Finger Shield to the top of the #2

door section following the

instructions on page 5. Do not fasten the #2 roller brackets--fasten in STEP 12.

STEP 11

Set

the #2 door section on top of the #1 door section, at an angle first. (See Figure

12A) Hold the #2 door section in place with locking pliers clamped to the rolled edge
of each vertical track. (See Figures 12B)

Fasten

the top half of the #1 door section hinges to the bottom of the #2 door section.

Hold sections close together while fastening to keep the section gap to a minimum.
(See Figure 12B)

STEP 12

Fasten

the #2 roller brackets with hinges to each top corner of the #2 door section.

Fit the rollers in the vertical tracks before fastening. Roller brackets #1, #2, #3, etc.,
cause the vertical track to incline. This allows the door to lift away from the jambs as it
opens. (See Figure 12B,12D)

STEP 13

Set

the #3 door section on top of the #2 door section following STEPS 10, 11, 12,

and page 6. The #3 door section has the home owners packet fastened to the lower
left corner. (See Figure 12C) Screws are provided to fasten packet to wood doors.

STEP 14

Decide

optional window placement. A designer window is normally a top section.

STEP 15

Set

the remaining door sections in place following STEPS 10, 11, and 12. Refer to

pages 2 and 5 for doors to 9’ (2750) high with finger shield. Hold each door section in
place with locking pliers as explained in STEP 11. (See Figure 12C)

Push

the vertical tracks forward until the door sections lightly touch the RA Shields

then tighten all bolts and nuts. The top of the vertical tracks should be no more than
9 (229) down from the top of the door. Each side should measure the same.

STEP 16

If extra clearance is available above the door, it may be desirable to fasten an
optional vertical track extension kit to the top of the vertical tracks. The door will lift
higher when open. Extensions available are 3”(76) and 6”(152). The springs, lift
cables and drums are made to provide up to 6” (152) of extra vertical track without
additional modifications. (See Figure 13C) (Not designed for MO, SP, SL doors.)

Hinges are fastened face down on wood doors.

Extra heavy

doors and wood doors all #5, #6, #7, #8 roller brackets should be

fastened with 4 thread forming screws. The extra two holes are provided in the stiles,
under the steel door skin. (See Figure 12E) Also see “Wood Door Notes” on page 22.
Note: Thread forming screws can penetrate steel skin without drilling.
