WARNING 

ENSURE TIGHT FIT OF CABLE LOOP OVER MILFORD PIN TO PREVENT 

COUNTERBALANCE LIFT CABLE FROM COMING OFF THE PIN, WHICH 

COULD ALLOW THE DOOR TO FALL AND RESULT IN SEVERE OR FATAL 

INJURY.

Uncoil the counterbalance lift cables from the cable drum assemblies, making sure you 

place the left hand cable loop on the left hand milford pin of the bottom corner bracket and 

the right hand cable loop on the right hand milford pin of the bottom corner bracket. Insert 

a short stem track roller into the bottom corner brackets and another into the #1 graduated 

end hinges at the top of the bottom section.

NOTE:

 Larger doors will use long stem track rollers with double graduated end hinges.

NOTE:

 Verify bottom weather seal is aligned with bottom section. If there is more than 1/2” 

excess weather seal on either side, trim weather seal even with bottom section.

both sides.

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.
