4.
Secure a fastener at the center of the top frame, making sure the top frame is level across its full width.
5.
Finish attaching the top frame by securing one screw at each stud, 16" to 24" apart, depending on the type of construction (no
more than 30" between screws if mounting into header).
Step C. Install the Frame Installation Support Brackets (Outside Mount Only)
Attach support brackets to wall studs (or header) and the top of the bypass frame. Brackets should be attached within 36" of each
end and spaced no more than 36" apart.
1.
Using two screws, secure the first support to the wall stud (or header) nearest the corner.
2.
Now secure the next support to the wall stud (or header) nearest the opposite corner.
3.
Continue securing any additional supports.
4.
Attach the supports to the top frame.
IMPORTANT:
Be careful not to place screws in line with the aluminum track screw holes.
Step D. Attach the Track to the Frame
1.
Before attaching the tracks, make sure that you have inserted the correct number of
carriers (two carriers for each panel) into each track.
IMPORTANT:
Carriers have three wheels. Each carrier can be loaded into the track
with one wheel to the front or two wheels to the front.
2.
Check that the carrier heights are consistent from carrier to carrier (see photo below).
Adjust as necessary.
