Attaching Flag Angles and Jamb Brackets To
Vertical Tracks
1
NOTE:
If you have Riveted Track or Angle Mount Track, skip this step.
FOR DOORS WITH FULLY ADJUSTABLE TRACK:
Hand tighten the left hand flag angle to
the left hand vertical track using (2) 1/4” - 20 x 9/16” track bolts and (2) 1/4” - 20 flange
hex nuts.
NOTE:
The bottom jamb bracket is always the shortest bracket, while the center jamb
bracket is the next tallest. If three jamb brackets per side are included with your door, you will
have received a top jamb bracket, which is the tallest.
To attach the bottom jamb bracket, locate lower hole of the hole/ slot pattern of the 1st hole
set on the vertical track. Align the slot in the jamb bracket with the lower hole of the hole/ slot
pattern. Hand tighten jamb bracket using (1) 1/4” - 20 x 9/16” track bolt and (1) 1/4” – 20
flange hex nut.
Place the center jamb bracket over the lower hole of the hole/ slot pattern that is centered
between the bottom jamb bracket and flag angle of the 2nd hole set. Hand tighten jamb
bracket using (1) 1/4” - 20 x 9/16” track bolt and (1) 1/4” - 20 flange hex nut.
If a top jamb bracket was included, hand tighten it to vertical track using the lower hole of the
hole/ slot pattern in the 3rd hole set and (1) 1/4” - 20 x 9/16” track bolt and (1) 1/4” - 20
flange hex nut.

be installed, as shown.
Position the left hand horizontal track angle, as shown. Place the Quick Install tabs of the
horizontal track angle in the key slot of the left hand horizontal track. Using a hammer, tap
the horizontal track angle towards the curved end of the track until the alignment hole in the
track and angle are aligned. Repeat for other side. Set tracks aside.
