BI-FOLD SHUTTERS INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. FRAME ASSEMBLY
If this is a 2,3 or 4 sided application go to diagram on the following page for frame
assembly instructions. Once the frames are assembled, installation holes are made
using a 10mm drill bit.
A. For a Recess mount drill a 10mm hole through the first layer of vinyl, within the
mounting area every 250mm starting at each end of the frames.
B. For a Face mount, drill a 10mm hole through the first layer of vinyl at the front
edge of the frame every 10mm.
2. FRAME INSTALLATION
A. For a Recess mount, fasten the top of the frame to the opening and level. To
prevent the ends of the frames from being distorted by the frame assembly
screws, spacers are placed at each end of any frame that has adjacent side
frames. During frame assembly, the screw will pass through the top frame and
spacer, then into the side frame. Plumb the side frames and fasten with screws.
B. For a Face mount. Set the frame against the wall. Level the top and screw the
frame to the wall.
C. Securing side frames if applicable.
3. ASSEMBLING OF ALUMINIUM TRACK AND COMPONENTS
A. If the configuration has all the panels stacking to one side, then install the pivot on
the stacking side (See Diagram D and Diagram E). insert all the wheels (one for
every two panels).
B. If the configuration has the panels stacking to both sides of track, insert the proper
number of wheel carriers. Install the top pivot at both ends (See Diagram D and
Diagram E).
C. If it is a floating system then there are no pivots, insert wheels to the value of the
number of panels less 1, for each bank of panels.
4. ALUMINIUM TRACK
Mount the track by screwing through the pre-drilled holes in the track into the screw
line on the top frame.
5. MOUNT THE BOTTOM PIVOT
Mount to the side frame or to the wall, tight to the floor. Attached to the floor if
possible (See Diagram D and Diagram E), in line with indicator line on same side as
top pivot.
6. HANG PIVOTING PANEL(S)
First insert the top pin into the top pivot track plate, now adjust plate.
To plumb the panels, adjust either both the top track plate or the bottom plate. If the
panel requires adjustment in height, then adjust the length of the bottom pin.
7. HANG REMAINING PANELS
Before hanging panels insert the bottom guides into the bottom of each panel that
has a wheel at the top. Hang panels from the pivoting panels. Insert all hinge pins.
Adjust the wheel carriers to level and then lock the 11mm nut.
