Mechanical Installation
Fitting the floor guide track
Note!
It is important that the floor guide track is fixed absolutely level to prevent derailment of
the floor guide foot when the door is swung out.
Installation steps for floor mounted guide tracks, recess and surfaced mounted pin guide
tracks and G channel tracks for fixed sidelite applications:
1. Inspect the floor for conditions such as high and low spots that can cause the track to
twist and rock. High spots (such as small rocks) should be removed; shim the track
assembly at the low spots.
2. Using a chalk line, snap a reference line from jamb to jamb on the side where the track is
being installed.
3. Using the measurements provided (see Fig. 3, below), lay the track in place. While stand-
ing on the track and keeping it in line with the chalk line, mark the holes to be drilled.
The G track is not to be mounted and leveled any lower than the bottom of the jamb
and it must have an equal measurement from the top of the G track to the bottom of
the header across its entire length.
4. Secure the track to the floor with concrete anchors and screws, leveling it with shims
from end to end. If possible, a sealant should be used under the track assembly. To check
for proper leveling, measure from the top of the track to the bottom of the header, check-
ing for the same result at each fastener.
Note:
All screws must be countersunk and fully tightened to avoid interference with pivot travel.
