INSTALL THE INNER DOOR:

STEP 10

. Create two cushioning blocks for the inner

door installation. Use the cardboard from the box and

cut, tape and assemble two 3/8” to 1/2” thick 6” x 6” 

blocks.

STEP 11.

The inner door is installed from the 

inside with the twin rollers facing out. Lift the door

over the curb and angle it to the inside. Working

from each side of the door lift and tip it (about 15 to

25 degree angle is necessary) so that the rollers on

both sides of the door move up and into the desig-

nated channel. As you lower the door into the track

move the position to vertical and rest on the 

cushioning blocks on the curb. Tighten the back

screws of the rollers with the wrench supplied. 

Remove the cushion blocks.

From the inside-- Lift the inner door with

rollers assembled and set the rollers inside the

groove on the inner side of the header in the

manner shown.
The glass door must be angled - 15-25 degrees.

The rollers must go in and up into the upper

cavity of header. Swing the bottom of glass 

forward to parallel it with header until both

rollers are inside the groove bring the glass

and rest it on the cushion blocks on the curb.

When the glass door is

resting on the blocking

and rollers are inside the

header use the Roller

Wrench to tighten the

screws on the back of the

rollers.

After tightening the screws

with the  Roller Wrench

remove the blocks under

the doors.

Cut 4 strips of cardboard 6"x 6”

and tape 2 of them together

making 3/8”-1/2” thick 6” x 6”

blocks. Make 2 blocks out of 4

strips.

Set two 3/8”-1/2”

blocks (not provided)

on curb top (as

shown).  Use the

cardboard from the

boxes that glass was

shipped in for the

blocking.

Detail 11B

Move the inside stops to the ends of the header and

temporarily snug them in place to prevent the Glass

from hitting the wall during installation.  

Final stop adjustment is done in step 18.

(NOT SHOW HERE) 

Inner and Outer Door Roller

Stops must be in the end of

the header and tightened

just enough to hold in place.
