Attaching Strut(s) To Section
4
NOTE:
Refer to Door Section Identification, located in the pre-installation section of this
manual or refer to Package Contents. Refer to the Package Contents and or Breakdown of
Parts to determine if your door came with struts.
NOTE:
Larger doors will have color coded struts. An 18 gauge (.046) strut will have red ends
or a 20 gauge (.034) strut will have blue ends.
Referencing the Strutting Schedule (shown on the Windload Specification Sheet), determine
the placement of the struts for your door height. Next, using sawhorses, lay the appropriate
section on a flat smooth surface.
FOR THE BOTTOM SECTION:
1.
If your doors windload option code begins with 06
, place the strut with the notched
ends over the bottom rib of the bottom section with the notches facing down. Center the
strut left to right on the section surface.
If your doors windload option code begins with
02
, place the strut with the notched ends over the bottom rib of the bottom section with
the notches facing down. The ends of the strut will fit in between the bottom corner bracket
flanges and the bottom section rib. Center the strut left to right on the section surface.
2. Fasten the strut at each ends through the top flange with (1) 1/4” - 14 x 7/8” self drilling
screw.
If your doors windload option code begins with 02
, then also fasten the strut at
each ends to the bottom section rib with (2) 1/4” - 14 x 5/8” self tapping screws, through the
two holes in the bottom corner bracket flanges.
3. Place (2) 1/4” - 14 x 5/8” self tapping screws through each pre-punched hole at each
center hinge(s) location.
4. Place the strut over the top rib of the bottom section with the eight pre-punched holes,
facing up. Center strut left to right on the section surface. Attach the strut at each ends
through the struts bottom flange with (1) 1/4” - 14 x 7/8” self drilling screw.
5. Finish securing the struts to the section, by placing (2) 1/4” - 14 x 5/8” self tapping
screws midway between the end of the door and the center hinge(s) locations and (1) 1/4” -
14 x 5/8” self tapping screw approximately eight inches from each end.

FOR THE LOCK, INTERMEDIATE(S) AND TOP SECTIONS:
1. Place the strut over the top rib of each of the remaining sections with the (8) pre-punched
holes at the ends, facing up. Center the strut left to right on the section surface.
2. Fasten the strut(s) at each end through the top and bottom flange with (2) 1/4” - 14 x 7/8”
self drilling screws.
3. Place (2) 1/4” - 14 x 5/8” self tapping screws through each center hinge(s) locations.
4. Finish securing the strut(s) to the section by placing (2) 1/4” - 14 x 5/8” self tapping
screws midway between the end of the door and the center hinge(s) locations and (1) 1/4” -
14 x 5/8” self tapping screw approximately eight inches from each end.
FOR THE WINDLOAD OPTION CODE 0356:
1. Place the strut over the top rib of the bottom section. Center the strut left to right on the
section surface. Fasten the strut at each end with (2) 1/4” - 14 x 5/8” self tapping screws,
through the top and bottom flanges of the strut as well as (2) 1/4” - 14 x 5/8” self tapping
screws at all center hinge locations and midway between center hinge locations and the end
of the strut.
2. Attach the strut to the top rib of the intermediate section for a four section high door and
the top rib of the intermediate and intermediate II sections for a five section high door, in the
same manner the strut was attached to the bottom section.

NOTE:
Refer to your Windload Specification Sheet and install the reinforcement brackets onto
your sections accordingly.
Starting on the left hand side of top section, position the top holes in the reinforcement
bracket over the strut and the slot in the reinforcement bracket over the endcap of the top
section, as shown. Fasten the reinforcement bracket to the strut and the end cap of the sec-
tion using (4) 1/4” - 14 x 7/8” self drilling screws. Repeat same process for other side.

reinforcement bracket over the center stile of the top section, as shown. Fasten the reinforce-
ment bracket to the strut and the center stile of the top section using (4) 1/4” - 14 x 7/8” self
drilling screws. Repeat same process for other sections.

NOTE:
Refer to door section identification, located in the pre-installation section of this
manual or refer to Breakdown of Parts.
NOTE:
Each roller slide has a viewing hole. This will allow for correct positioning of the roller
slide on the strut.
Starting with the bottom section, place a roller slide on the top left side of the strut and align
with the first set of holes closest to the section, as shown. Attach the roller slide to the strut
using (2) 1/4” - 14 x 5/8” self tapping screws. Repeat for opposite side.
Next, position and install roller slides onto the sections, as shown:
For the Lock Section (Second Section), use the second set of holes.
For the Intermediate Section I (Third Section), use the third set of holes.
