Positioning Bottom Section
6
Center the bottom section in the door opening. Level the section using wooden shims (if
necessary) under the bottom section. When the bottom section is leveled, temporarily hold it
in place by driving a nail into the jamb and bending it over the edge of the bottom section on
both sides.

Attaching Vertical Tracks To Jambs
7
NOTE:
Depending on your door, you may have Quick Install Flag Angles, Fully Adjustable Flag
Angles, Riveted Vertical Track Assemblies or you may have Angle Mount Vertical Track As-
semblies. Refer to Package Contents / Breakdown of Parts, to determine which Flag Angles /
Vertical Track Assemblies you have.
IMPORTANT:
IF YOUR DOOR IS TO BE INSTALLED PRIOR TO A FINISHING CONSTRUCTION
OF THE BUILDING’S FLOOR, THE VERTICAL TRACKS AND THE DOOR BOTTOM SECTION
ASSEMBLY SHOULD BE INSTALLED SUCH THAT WHEN THE FLOOR IS CONSTRUCTED, NO
DOOR OR TRACK PARTS ARE TRAPPED IN THE FLOOR CONSTRUCTION.
IMPORTANT:
THE TOPS OF THE VERTICAL TRACKS MUST BE LEVEL FROM SIDE TO SIDE.
IF THE BOTTOM SECTION WAS SHIMMED TO LEVEL IT, THE VERTICAL TRACK ON THE
SHIMMED SIDE MUST BE RAISED THE HEIGHT OF THE SHIM.
NOTE:
Make sure the counterbalance lift cable is located between the track rollers and the
door jamb.
Starting on the left hand side of the bottom section, remove the nail. Position the left hand
vertical track assembly over the track rollers of the bottom section and install, as shown. Drill
3/16” pilot holes into the door jamb for the lag screws.
FOR QUICK INSTALL FLAG ANGLES OR FULLY ADJUSTABLE FLAG ANGLES:
Loosely
fasten jamb brackets and flag angle to the jamb using 5/16” x 1-5/8” lag screws. Tighten lag
screws, securing the bottom jamb bracket to jamb, maintain 3/8” to 5/8” spacing, between
the bottom section and vertical track. Hang counterbalance lift cable over flag angle. Repeat
same process for other side.

FOR RIVETED VERTICAL TRACK ASSEMBLY:
Loosely fasten jamb brackets and flag angle
to the jamb using 5/16” x 1-5/8” lag screws. Tighten lag screws, securing the bottom jamb
bracket to jamb, maintain 3/8” to 5/8” spacing as shown between the bottom section and
vertical track. Hang counterbalance lift cable over flag angle. Repeat same process for other
side.
FOR ANGLE MOUNT VERTICAL TRACK ASSEMBLY:
Loosely fasten the slots in the wall
angle to the jamb using 5/16” x 1-5/8” lag screws. Tighten lag screws, securing the bottom
slot in the wall angle, maintain 3/8” to 5/8” spacing as shown between the bottom section
and vertical track. Hang counterbalance lift cable over angle mount. Repeat same process for
other side.

Stacking Sections
8
NOTE:
The sections can be identified by the graduation of the factory installed end hinges.
The smallest graduated end hinge on section should be stacked on top of the bottom section,
with each graduated end hinge increasing as the sections are stacked, see Door Section
Identification.
NOTE:
Make sure graduated end and center hinges are flipped down, when stacking another
section on top.
Place track rollers into graduated end hinges of remaining sections.
With assistance, lift second section and guide the track rollers into the vertical tracks. Lower
section until it is seated against bottom section. Align vertical marks in the upper alignment
sticker, with the lower alignment sticker on right hand side, on the back of door. Keep sec-
tions aligned and fasten center hinge(s) first; then end hinges last using 1/4” - 14 x 5/8” self
tapping screws.
NOTE:
To prevent center hinge leaf(s) from rotating, first secure the top middle hole of the
center hinge leaf with one 1/4” - 14 x 5/8” self-tapping screw then secure the other two
holes.
