NOTE:
Center hinge(s) use #1 graduated end hinges at each pre-drilled or vertical stile loca-
tion. The pre-drilled locations are located at the top rails on the inside of the section surface.
NOTE:
Some struts also may or may not have holes in them. If they don’t, then prior to
installing the strut and hinge to the section surface, you may have to drill a 3/16” hole for the
appropriate fastener on one or both sides of the strut legs.
Using the appropriate graduated end hinges for the ends and depending on the width of your
door, enough center hinge(s) for each pre-drilled hole location(s). Starting at the upper left
hand corner of the bottom section. Position the lower hinge leaf of the appropriate graduated
end hinge onto the upper corner of the bottom section. Align the slots of the lower hinge leaf
with the pre-drilled holes in the bottom section. If applicable, lay a long strut over the lower
hinge leaf and over the top rail of the bottom section. Center the long strut from side to side.
FOR GRADUATED END HINGES WITHOUT A LONG STRUT:
Attach the upper slot of the
graduated end hinge to the bottom section using (1) 1/4” - 20 x 1-7/8” carriage bolt and (1)
1/4” - 20 flange hex nut. Secure the lower hole of the graduated end hinge to the bottom
section using (1) 1/4” - 20 x 1-7/8” carriage bolt and (1) 1/4” - 20 flange hex nut. Repeat for
other side.
IF YOU HAVE DOUBLE GRADUATED END HINGES WITHOUT A LONG STRUT:
Position the
second graduated end hinge next to the first (single) graduated end hinge. Using the second
graduated end hinge as a template, drill pilot holes, 1” deep into the bottom section using a
1/8” drill bit.
IMPORTANT:
BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL NOT TO DRILL THRU THE SECTION. ONLY DRILL 1”
DEEP.
Secure the graduated end hinge to the bottom section using (2) 1/4” - 14 x 1” lag screws.
Repeat for other side.

NOTE:
If you don’t have half center hinges, then skip this part of the step. Refer to Package
Contents / Breakdown Of Parts, to determine if you have half center hinges.
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 bottom section. Using the half center hinge as a template, drill pilot holes, 1” deep into
the bottom section with a 1/8” drill bit (if needed).
IMPORTANT:
BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL NOT TO DRILL THRU THE SECTION. ONLY DRILL 1”

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 intermediate I (second),
intermediate II (third), intermediate III (fourth), Intermediate IV (fifth), Intermediate V (sixth) and
if applicable Intermediate VI (seventh). Measure your section to make sure it is the correct
height as indicated on the chart.
