graduated Hinge Attachment
Tools: Power drill,7/16” Socket driver
5
NOTE:
Refer to door section identification, located in the pre-installation section of this
manual.
NOTE:
The graduated hinges can be identified by the number stamped onto their lower hinge
leaf.
Locate the bottom section, (2) #1 graduated end hinges (wide body) for the end stiles and
depending on the width of your door, enough #1 center hinge(s) (narrow body) for each of
the pre-marked center hinge locations. Starting on the left hand side of the bottom section,
align the lower hinge leaf of the #1 graduated end hinge over the holes, located at the top
of the end caps. Also, align the lower hinge leafs of the #1 center hinges (narrow body) with
the pre-marked locations at the center locations at the top of the section. Attach lower hinge
leafs to the section using (2) 1/4”-14 x 7/8” self drilling screws.
IMPORTANT:
ONCE THE 1/4”-14 x 7/8” SELF DRILLING SCREWS ARE SNUG AGAINST THE
LOWER HINGE LEAFS, TIGHTEN AN ADDITIONAL 1/4 TO 1/2 TURN TO RECEIVE MAxIMUM
DESIGN HOLDING POWER.
IMPORTANT:
PUSH & HOLD THE HINGE LEAF SECURELY AGAINST THE SECTION WHILE
SECURING WITH 1/4”-14 x 7/8” SELF DRILLING SCREWS. THERE SHOULD BE NO GAP
BETWEEN THE HINGE LEAF AND THE SECTION.
Place a short stem track roller into each graduated end hinge. Repeat graduated hinge
attachment using the appropriate graduated end hinges for all remaining sections except the
top section.
IMPORTANT:
WHEN PLACING SHORT STEM TRACK ROLLERS INTO THE #2 GRADUATED
END HINGES AND HIGHER, THE SHORT STEM TRACK ROLLER GOES INTO HINGE TUBE
FURTHEST AWAY FROM SECTION.
Use (2) #2 graduated end hinges (wide body) and the required number of #1 center hinge(s)
(narrow body) for each of the center hinge pre-marked location(s) along the top edge of the
lock section (second section).
Use (2) #3 graduated end hinges (wide body) and the required number of #1 center hinge(s)
(narrow body) for each of the center hinge(s) (narrow body) pre-marked location(s) along the
top edge of the intermediate I section (third section).
Use (2) #4 graduated end hinges (wide body) and the required number of #1 center hinge(s)
(narrow body) for each of the center hinge pre-marked location(s) along the top edge of the
intermediate II section (third section).

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, inter-
mediate I (third) section, intermediate II (fourth section on a five section door) and top section.
Measure your sections to make sure they are the correct height as indicated on the chart.
NOTE:
Depending on the size of your door, one or more sections may require a strut.
Using sawhorses, lay sections together on a flat smooth surface. Ensure the hinges are on
top of their corresponding sections. Referring to the strutting schedule, determine how many
struts your door needs and on what sections they are needed to be installed.
NOTE:
Sections not noted in the strutting schedule, do not require a strut.
NOTE:
All strut(s) are placed at the top of the section.
INSTALLATION ON ALL SECTIONS (ExCEPT TOP SECTION):
Place the strut on the section
up against the bottom of the hinges. Center the strut side to side on the section as shown.
Secure to the section using (2) 1/4”-14 x 7/8” self drilling screws at each end hinge location
and (2) 1/4”-14 x 7/8” self drilling screw at each center hinge location.
INSTALLATION ON TOP SECTION:
Place the strut on the top section, center the strut side
to side on the top edge of the top section. Loosely fasten to the section using (2) 1/4”-14
x 7/8” self drilling screws at each endstile. The 1/4”-14 x 7/8” self drilling screws for the
endstiles will be secured after step, Top Fixture is completed. Next, secure strut to the section
using (2) 1/4”-14 x 7/8” self drilling screw at each center hinge location at each pre-marked
location.

Remove, but retain the 1/4”-14 x 7/8” self drilling screws from the right side of the strut,
allowing enough room to slide the top fixture between the top section and the strut (if appli-
cable). Slide the top fixture between the strut and top section. Align the edge of the top fixture
parallel to the top section edge. Secure the top fixture to the top section using (1) 1/4”-14 x
7/8” self drilling screw through the lower slot of top fixture. Adjust the top fixture, if neces-
sary. Finish re-attaching the strut using the (2) 1/4”-14 x 7/8” self drilling screws removed
previously. Insert a short stem track roller into top fixture. Repeat for left hand side.

Using the inside step plate’s second top most hole and bottom hole as a template, drill 7/16”
diameter holes through the entire section.
