Amendments To Installation Instructions For French Door Opening
Inactive Door
The astragal and astragal pins are installed on the inactive door. The
strike is pre-installed in the astragal center pocket of the inactive door.
Install Head Track
Both doors in a French set will travel along the same tracks. Locate the Head Track (R6046) and feed it on to
the top roller guide of the inactive door (See Figure 5 on Page 2). Now take the opposite end of the Head Track
and align it into the Housing end cap notch on the active door. The Head Track on the inactive side should now
be in the housing notch location. Fasten the Track to the header using the #8 x 1” flat head screws provided.
ADDITIONAL PARTS
INCLUDED:
“Snapping” in the Active Door
Carefully...
and while making sure the screen is properly
guided within the top and bottom tracks, pull on the center
of the drawbar until approximately two (2) feet of screen is
exposed. Line up the top drawbar guide with the top track,
and the bottom drawbar guide with the bottom track
(this will
require the drawbar to be at a slight angle)
and “snap” into
place (Figure 11). Allow the screen to retract back into the
housing. Test for smooth operation.
Install Housing / Hinge
Install both Housing/hinge assemblies in the jambs directly opposite
of each other. The active door will have a latch projecting from the
drawbar at the handle center.
