Locate the center most center stile of the bottom section of the door. On the inside of the
door, center the step plate on the center most stile no higher than 6” from the bottom of
the door. Using the step plate holes as a template, drill a 5/16” dia. hole along each side of
the center stile, through the face of the door. Drill through insulation and door’s face on an
insulated door.

BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL TO KEEP DRILL STRAIGHT.
Mount the inside step plate and the outside step plate back to back, straddling the center
stile. Secure with (2) 1/4” - 20 x 2-3/4” carriage bolts and 1/4” - 20 hex nuts.

of the door. Position the lower hole in the lift handle 4” from the bottom of the lock (2nd)
section.
IMPORTANT:
THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE STEP PLATE AND THE MIDDLE OF THE LIFT
HANDLE MUST BE 20” MINIMUM TO 30” MAXIMUM. IF NECESSARY REPOSITION THE UPPER
LIFT HANDLE TO STAY WITHIN THE REQUIRED DIMENSION.
Using the lift handle holes as a template, drill (2) 9/32” dia. holes through the lock section.
Enlarge the holes from the outside the door to 1/2” dia.
NOTE:
Do not drill through or enlarge holes on the inside of the door.
Assemble the outside and inside lift handles to the lock section using (2) spacers, (2) 1/4” -

Attaching Vertical Tracks To Jambs
7
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.
NOTE:
Make sure the counterbalance lift cable is located between the track rollers and the
door jamb.
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 and install, as shown. Drill
3/16” pilot holes into the door jamb for the lag screws.
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” spac-
ing, between the bottom section and vertical track. Hang counterbalance lift cable over flag
angle. Repeat same process for other side.
