Fit the club end of the adjusting wrench over the
hexagonal nut at the bottom of the hanger pin.
Use the extended part of the wrench to press down the
plunger pin that protrudes up from the mounting plate.
Once this plunger is fully depressed slide the wrench
sideways towards the plunger pin.
The whole carriage (including the shaft) will now
disengage from the mounting plate.
It is not always easy to slide the wrench sideways.
You may need to relieve the door’s weight by putting a
wedge between door and floor.
Bi-Parting doors: Remove the black plastic stop that is
tightly fitted into the mounting plate by tapping it out in
the direction shown using a hammer and drift.
9 Removing the SofStop mechanism

Loosen the M5 pan head machine screw and slide the
front carriage towards the closing jamb until it can be
removed via the notch. Repeat for the cassette and rear
