Stacking Top Section
11
Place the top section in the opening. Install a nail to prevent the top section from falling
backwards. Now, flip up the hinge leaves, hold tight against section, and fasten center hinges
first and end hinges last (refer to step, Stacking Sections). Vertical track alignment is critical.
Position flag angle or wall angle between 1-11/16” (43 mm) to 1-3/4” (44 mm) from the
edge of the door; tighten the bottom lag screw. Flag angles must be parallel to the door sec-
tions. Repeat for other side.
IMPORTANT:
THE DIMENSION BETWEEN THE FLAG ANGLES OR WALL ANGLES MUST BE
DOOR WIDTH PLUS 3-3/8” (86MM) TO 3-1/2” (89 MM) FOR SMOOTH, SAFE DOOR OPERA-
TION.
FOR FULLY ADJUSTABLE TRACK OR RIVETED TRACK:
Complete the vertical track instal-
lation by securing the jamb bracket(s) and tightening the other lag screws. Push the vertical
track against the track rollers so that the track rollers are touching the deepest part of the
curved side of the track; tighten all the track bolts and nuts. Repeat for other side.
FOR ANGLE MOUNT TRACK:
Complete the vertical track installation by securing the jamb
bracket(s) and or tightening the other lag screws. Push the vertical track against the track
rollers so that the track rollers are touching the deepest part of the curved side of the vertical
track, as shown. Repeat for other side.
