NOTE:
Depending on your door, you may have Quick Install Flag Angles, Fully Adjustable Flag
Angles, Riveted Vertical Track Assemblies or you may have Angle Mount Vertical Track As-
semblies. 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 QUICK INSTALL FLAG ANGLES OR 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.

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 lock (second) section,
intermediate (third) section, intermediate (fourth) section, intermediate (fifth) section and
intermediate (sixth) section. 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.
Place track rollers into graduated end hinges of remaining sections.
With assistance, lift second section and guide the track rollers into the vertical tracks. Lower
section until it is seated against bottom section. Flip hinges up. Fasten center hinge(s) first;
then end hinges last using 1/4” - 20 x 11/16” self drilling screws. Repeat same process for
other sections, except top section.
IMPORTANT:
PUSH & HOLD THE HINGE LEAFS SECURELY AGAINST THE SECTIONS WHILE
SECURING WITH 1/4” - 20 X 11/16” SELF DRILLING SCREWS. THERE SHOULD BE NO GAP
BETWEEN THE HINGE LEAFS AND THE SECTIONS.
