NOTE:
Refer to door section identification, located in the pre-installation section of this
manual to determine what size sections you need to use as your lock (second) section, inter-
mediate I (third) section, intermediate II (fourth section on a five section door) and top section.
Measure your sections to make sure they are the correct height as indicated on the chart.
NOTE:
Depending on the size of your door, one or more sections may require a strut.
NOTE:
Refer to Strutting Schedule (shown on the Windload Specification Sheet), to determine
how many struts your door needs and on what sections they are needed to be installed on.
Using sawhorses, lay the appropriate sections together on a flat smooth surface. Ensure
the hinges are on top of their corresponding sections. Locate and center the strut onto the
section surface and over the hinges (already installed), as shown. Center the strut side to
side. Secure the strut to the section surface using (2) 1/4” - 14 x 7/8” self drilling screws
at each end and center stile locations. Next, finish securing the strut to the section using (2)
1/4” - 14 x 7/8” self drilling screws in between each end and center stile locations and also
in between each center stile locations. Repeat the same process for other sections.

Starting with the left hand side of the top section, align the top of the top fixture base 3”
down from the top of the top section or directly below a strut (if applicable). Ensure the top
fixture assembly is level and aligned with the edge of the top section. Secure the top fixture
base to the end stile using (4) 1/4”-14 x 7/8” self drilling screws. Loosen the 5/16”- 18 hex
nut, located on the top fixture slide. Insert short stem track roller into top fixture slide. Repeat
for other side.
IMPORTANT:
IF NO STRUT WAS INSTALLED ON THE TOP SECTION, PLACE (1) 1/4”-14 X
7/8” SELF DRILLING SCREW INTO THE TOP PRE-PUNCHED HOLE IN EACH ENDSTILE OF THE
TOP SECTION.

NOTE:
Refer to door section identification, located in the pre-installation section of this
manual.
On the inside of the bottom section, locate the vertical center of the door.
Center the inside step plate vertically no higher than 8” from the bottom of the door to the
top of the step plate.
IMPORTANT:
DO NOT MOUNT THE STEP PLATE HIGHER THAN 8” FROM THE BOTTOM OF
THE SECTION.
Using the inside step plate’s second top most hole and bottom hole as a template, drill 7/16”
diameter holes through the entire section.
NOTE:
Be extremely careful to keep drill straight when drilling through the section.
Now insert the outside step plate into the holes through the front of the door, mounting the
two step plates back to back. Secure step plates together with two No. 8 screws through the
inside step plate and into the outside step plate.

NOTE:
Refer to door section identification, located in the pre-installation section of this
manual
Using sawhorses, lay the bottom and lock sections together on a flat smooth surface. Ensure
the hinges are on top of their corresponding sections.
Locate the vertical center of the lock (second) section of the door and position the lift
handle’s bottom hole 4” from the bottom of the lock section along the vertical center on the
outside of the door. Use the holes in the lift handle as a template to mark the hole locations.
IMPORTANT:
THE LIFT HANDLE AND THE STEP PLATE NEED TO BE VERTICALLY ALIGNED.
Drill 9/32” diameter holes through the section at each marked location. Enlarge the holes
from outside the door to 1/2” diameter through the section. Assemble the outside and inside
lift handles to the section using (2) 1/4” - 20 x 2-1/2” carriage bolts and (2) 1/4” - 20 hex
nuts and spacers.
WARNING
TO AVOID POSSIBLE INJURY, LIFT HANDLES THAT ARE INSTALLED
WITHIN 4 INCHES (102MM) OF A SECTION INTERFACE SHALL PROMOTE
VERTICAL ORIENTATION OF THE HAND.
