Using a tape measure, position the half center hinges equally spaced in between the center
hinges and the graduated end hinges. Position the holes of the lower hinge leaf at the top
rail of the Intermediate section. Using the half center hinge as a template, drill pilot holes, 1”
deep into the Intermediate section with a 1/8” drill bit (if needed).
IMPORTANT: BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL NOT TO DRILL THRU THE SECTION. ONLY DRILL 1”
DEEP.
Attach the lower hinge leaf of the center hinge to the Intermediate section using (2) 1/4” - 14
x 1” lag screws. Repeat for other half center hinge(s).
If you have single graduated end hinges, insert a short stem track roller / short stem tandem
track roller (if included) into the hinge tube on each side.
If you have double graduated end hinges, insert a long stem track roller / short stem tandem
track roller (if included) into the hinge tubes on each side.
IMPORTANT:
WHEN PLACING TRACK ROLLERS / TANDEM TRACK ROLLER (IF INCLUDED)

NOTE:
Refer to door section identification, located in the pre-installation section of this
manual to determine what size section you need to use as your top section. Measure your
section to make sure it is the correct height as indicated on the chart.
Place the top section face down on a couple of sawhorses or flat clean/ smooth surface.
Lay a SHORT STRUT onto the top rail of the top section. Position the top of the strut 3/4”
downward from the top edge of the top section. Center the short strut from side to side on
the section surface. Drill pilot holes, 1” deep into the top section using a 1/8” drill bit.
IMPORTANT: BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL NOT TO DRILL THRU THE SECTION. ONLY DRILL 1”
DEEP.
Attach the strut using (1) 1/4” - 14 x 1” lag screw at each pre-drilled hole.
NOTE: If your door came with two top fixtures, then one top fixture and a short stem track
roller are required for each side.
NOTE:
If your door came with four top fixtures, then two top fixtures and a long stem track
roller are required for each side.
Loosely secure the top fixture slide and the “L” reinforcement bracket (if applicable) to the top
fixture base using (1) 5/16” - 18 x 3/4” carriage bolt and (1) 5/16” - 18 hex nut, as shown.
Repeat for other top fixture assemblies.
Starting on the left hand side, align the lip of the top fixture base onto the top corner of the
top section and even with the side edge of the top section. Using the top fixture base as a
template, mark and pre-drill (3) 9/32” diameter holes through the top section.
NOTE:
If the “L” reinforcement bracket(s) was not supplied with your door, then only pre-drill
(2) 9/32” diameter holes drilled holes are needed. Along with only (2) 1/4” - 20 x 2-1/4”
carriage bolts and (3) 1/4” - 20 flange hex nuts used to attach the top fixture assembly to the
top section.
Attach the top fixture base to the top section using 1/4” - 20 x 2-1/4” carriage bolts and 1/4”
- 20 flange hex nuts. Repeat the same process for the right hand side.
IF YOU HAVE FOUR TOP FIXTURE ASSEMBLIES:
Position the second top fixture assembly
next to the first installed top fixture assembly. Using the top fixture base as a template, drill
pilot holes, 1” deep into the top section with a 1/8” drill bit (if needed).
IMPORTANT: BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL NOT TO DRILL THRU THE SECTION. ONLY DRILL 1”
DEEP.
NOTE: If the “L” reinforcement bracket(s) was not supplied with your door, then only pre-drill
(2) 1/8” diameter holes drilled holes are needed.
Attach the top fixture base to the top section using 1/4” - 14 x 1” lag screws. Repeat the
same process for the right hand side.
Positioning Bottom Section
8
Center the bottom section in the door opening. Level the section using wooden shims (if
necessary) under the bottom section. When the bottom section is leveled, temporarily hold it
in place by driving a nail into the jamb and bending it over the edge of the bottom section on
both sides.
Attaching Vertical Tracks To Jambs
9
NOTE:
Depending on your door, you may have Fully Adjustable Flag Angles, Riveted Vertical
Track Assemblies or you may have Angle Mount Vertical Track Assemblies. Refer to Package
Contents / Breakdown of Parts, to determine which Flag Angles / Vertical Track Assemblies
you have.
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.
FOR FULLY ADJUSTABLE FLAG ANGLES:
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” spacing, between the bottom section and vertical
track. Hang counterbalance lift cable over flag angle. Repeat same process for other side.
FOR RIVETED VERTICAL TRACK ASSEMBLY: 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” spacing as shown between the bottom section and
vertical track. Hang counterbalance lift cable over flag angle. Repeat same process for other
side.
FOR ANGLE MOUNT VERTICAL TRACK ASSEMBLY:
Loosely fasten the slots in the wall
angle to the jamb using 5/16” x 1-5/8” lag screws. Tighten lag screws, securing the bottom
slot in the wall angle, maintain 3/8” to 5/8” spacing as shown between the bottom section
and vertical track. Hang counterbalance lift cable over angle mount. Repeat same process for
other side.
Stacking Sections

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 intermediate I (second)
section and intermediate II (third) section (if applicable). Measure your sections to make sure
they are the correct height as indicated on the chart.
NOTE: Make sure graduated end and center hinges are flipped down, when stacking another
section on top.
With assistance, lift second section and guide the track rollers into the vertical tracks. Keep-
ing the sections vertically aligned, lower section until it is seated against bottom section.
FOR CENTER HINGE(S) AND OR HALF CENTER HINGE(S):
Flip a upper hinge leaf up and
use it as a template. Mark and pre-drill (2) 1/8” pilot holes, 1” deep into the section with a
1/8” drill bit.
IMPORTANT: BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL NOT TO DRILL THRU THE SECTION. ONLY DRILL 1”
DEEP.
Attach the center hinge upper leaf to the section using (2) 1/4” - 14 x 1” lag screws. Repeat
same process for other center hinge(s) and or half center hinge(s).
FOR GRADUATED END HINGES: Starting with the outer graduated end hinges, flip the
upper hinge leaf up and use it as a template. Mark and pre-drill (2) 9/32” diameter holes
through the section. Attach the upper hinge leaf to the section using (2) 1/4” - 20 x 2-1/4”
carriage bolts and (2) 1/4” - 20 flange hex nuts. Repeat same process for the other side.
IF YOU HAVE DOUBLE GRADUATED END HINGES: Flip the inner upper hinge leaf up and
use it as a template. Mark and pre-drill (2) 1/8” pilot holes, 1” deep into the section with a
1/8” drill bit.
IMPORTANT:

same process for the other side.
IMPORTANT:
PUSH & HOLD THE HINGE LEAFS SECURELY AGAINST THE SECTIONS WHILE
SECURING WITH APPROPRIATE FASTENERS. THERE SHOULD BE NO GAP BETWEEN THE
HINGE LEAFS AND THE SECTIONS.
Repeat same process for other sections (if applicable), except top section.
Stacking Top Section
11
Place the top section in the opening. Install a nail to prevent the top section from falling
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.
IMPORTANT: THE DIMENSION BETWEEN THE FLAG ANGLES OR WALL ANGLES MUST BE
DOOR WIDTH PLUS 3-3/8” (86MM) TO 3-1/2” (89 MM) FOR SMOOTH, SAFE DOOR OPERA-
TION.
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
