Full Breakout Sidelite Installation Procedure
Surface and Recessed Track Applications - Equal/Unequal Panel
Note:
Remove any glass stops or packing material from the sidelite before installation.
1. Install and level any thresholds (surface or recessed) before installing any of the
door panels.
2. Check that jamb mounted bottom pivot is installed and tight.
3. If the pivot base does not rest fully on the floor, support the pivot base with shims.
4. Loosen the setscrew in the top pivot.
5. Place the bearing washer on the pivot base. Check that bottom and top pivots
are tight in the door. Set the sidelite on the pivot and tilt it into place. There
should be no more than 1/8" between the bottom of the header and the top of
the sidelite. To adjust, remove the sidelite, raise or lower the bottom pivot by
loosening the set screw at the side of the floor portion of the pivot and turn the
shaft clockwise to lower the sidelite and counter clockwise to raise the sidelite;
then retighten the set screw. With the sidelite on the bottom pivot, carefully push
down the top spring-loaded pivot pin and line it up with its receiving hole in the
header until the shaft pops into place (See Fig. 9, pg. 21).
6. Check all clearances and make adjustments to the break out ball catch.
7. When all sidelite panels are installed, tighten top pivot security set screw to pre-
vent depressing pivot pin.
8. Install glass using proper glass blocking techniques to ensure proper operation
of door package. See page 27.
