backwards. Now, flip up the hinge leaves, hold tight against section, and fasten center hinges 

first and end hinges last (refer to step, Stacking Sections). Vertical track alignment is critical. 

Position flag angle or wall angle between 1-11/16” (43 mm) to 1-3/4” (44 mm) from the 

edge of the door; tighten the bottom lag screw. Flag angles must be parallel to the door sec-

tions. Repeat for other side.

DOOR WIDTH PLUS 3-3/8” (86MM) TO 3-1/2” (89 MM) FOR SMOOTH, SAFE DOOR OPERA-

TION.

FOR QUICK INSTALL TRACK:

 Complete the vertical track installation by securing the jamb 

bracket(s) and tightening the other lag screws. Repeat for other side.

FOR FULLY ADJUSTABLE TRACK OR RIVETED TRACK:

 Complete the vertical track instal-

lation by securing the jamb bracket(s) and tightening the other lag screws. Push the vertical 

track against the track rollers so that the track rollers are touching the deepest part of the 

curved side of the track; tighten all the track bolts and nuts. Repeat for other side.

FOR ANGLE MOUNT TRACK:

 Complete the vertical track installation by securing the jamb 

bracket(s) and or tightening the other lag screws. Push the vertical track against the track 

rollers so that the track rollers are touching the deepest part of the curved side of the vertical
