Locate the bottom section, using #1 graduated end hinges for the end stiles and depending
on the width of your door, enough #1 center hinge(s) for each of the center stile(s). At the top
of the bottom section, position the graduated end hinge(s) onto the end stile of the bottom
section, so that the lower (#) hinge leaf is over the pre-punched holes in the end stiles and
the pre-punched holes of the center stile(s). Secure each graduated end hinge and each
center hinge to the bottom section using (2) 1/4” - 14 x 5/8” self tapping screws.
NOTE:
Refer to the Windload Specification Sheet to determine if two more graduated end
hinges are required to be installed next to the previously installed graduated end hinges, as
shown.
At the top of the bottom section, position the graduated end hinge onto the inner end stile of
the bottom section, so that the lower (#) hinge leaf is over the pre-punched holes in the end
stile. Secure each graduated end hinge to the bottom section using (2) 1/4” - 14 x 5/8” self
tapping screws.
NOTE:
Refer to the Windload Specification Sheet to determine if additional 1/4” - 14 x 7/8”
self drilling screws are required to be installed into the graduated end hinges, as shown.
FOR SINGLE GRADUATED END HINGES:
Insert a short stem track roller into the hinge tube
of the graduated end hinge on each side.
FOR DOUBLE GRADUATED END HINGES:
Insert a long stem track roller into the hinge
tubes of the graduated end hinges on each side.
IMPORTANT:
WHEN PLACING TRACK ROLLERS INTO THE #2 GRADUATED END HINGES AND
HIGHER, THE TRACK ROLLER GOES INTO HINGE TUBE FURTHEST AWAY FROM SECTION.

ONCE THE 1/4” - 14 X 5/8” SELF TAPPING SCREWS ARE SNUG AGAINST THE
LOWER HINGE LEAF, TIGHTEN AN ADDITIONAL 1/4 TO 1/2 TURN TO RECEIVE MAXIMUM
DESIGN HOLDING POWER.
Repeat the same graduated end and center hinge attachment process using the appropriate
graduated end hinges for all remaining sections except the top section.
