NOTE:

 Depending on your door, you may have Quick Install Flag Angles, Fully Adjustable Flag 

Angles or you may have Riveted Vertical Track Assemblies. Refer to Package Contents / Parts 

Breakdown, 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.
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. Make sure the coun-

terbalance lift cable is located between the track rollers and the door jamb. Drill 3/16” pilot 

holes into the door jamb for the lag screws.
For Quick Install Flag Angles, Fully Adjustable Flag Angles or Riveted Vertical Track As-

semblies: 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.

NOTE:

 The sections can be identified by the graduation of the factory installed graduated 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 / Parts Breakdown.

NOTE:

 Make sure graduated end and center hinges are flipped down, when stacking another 

section on top.

NOTE:

 Larger doors will use long stem track rollers with double graduated end hinges.

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. Flip hinges up. 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.

NOTE:

 Larger doors with double graduated end hinges, fasten both hinges to connect the 

sections using 1/4” - 14 x 5/8” self-tapping screws.
Repeat same process for other sections, except top section.

IMPORTANT: 

PUSH & HOLD THE HINGE LEAFS SECURELY AGAINST THE SECTIONS WHILE 

SECURING WITH 1/4” - 14 X 5/8” SELF TAPPING SCREWS. THERE SHOULD BE NO GAP 

BETWEEN THE HINGE LEAFS AND THE SECTIONS.

NOTE:

 Install lock at this time (sold separately). See optional installation step, Side Lock.
