Instructions / Assembly

19
Before assembling brackets to vertical track, be sure to read STEP 11-1 and
11-2. Refer to Fig.11-C for placement of brackets on track.
NOTE: Brackets may already be riveted in place. If additional
adjustment is required, rivets can be drilled out and brackets
reattached with track bolts and flange nuts (available through toll-free
Consumer Service Hotline, see front).
! WARNING
Failure to use the track provided with new door may cause installation
problems or the door to fall which could result in serious injury or
property damage.
! WARNING
DO NOT attach any brackets directly to drywall. All track brackets, flag
brackets and spring brackets should be attached directly only to wood
bucks.
Step 11-1: Assemble Track Brackets to Vertical Track
■
There are two sizes of track brackets for 7' tall doors and 3 sizes for 8'
tall doors. Each bracket should be installed with flange facing flat side of
track and flat side toward wall (Fig. 11-A).
■
Loosely fasten horizontal slot of track brackets to vertical track using (1)
1/4" × 5/8" track bolt and (1) 1/4" flange nut. Head of bolt faces inside
track. Brackets should be installed on vertical track as follows (Fig. 11-C):
• Shortest pair — 10" from bottom of track
• Next longest pair — centered on track
• For 8' tall doors — install remaining pair 10" from top of track
Step 11-2A: Assemble Flag Brackets to Vertical Track
FOR STEEL AND STEEL CARRIAGE HOUSE DOORS
■
Determine proper holes in flag bracket for door thickness (Fig. 11-B1).
■
Loosely attach flag bracket to top of track with (2) 1/4" × 5/8" track bolts
and 1/4" flange nuts. Head of bolts face inside track.
NOTE: If additional adjustment is required, horizontal slots in flag
brackets can be used for attachment to vertical track.
Step 11-2B: Assemble Flag Brackets to Vertical Track
FOR COMPOSITE OVERLAY DOORS
■
Due to overall door thickness of most non-insulated Composite Overlay
Door models, a commercial style flag bracket is used to splice the vertical
and horizontal tracks together (Fig. 11-B2).
Step 11-3: Place Vertical Track into Position
■
Place track over rollers on door.
■
Move track close to door so rollers are all the way into hinges leaving
about 1/2" between edge of door and edge of track.
NOTE: Do not force track too tightly or door will bind.
■
Lift track about 1/2" from floor and mark jamb for each lag screw
position.
NOTE: Do not raise vertical track beyond bottom rollers on bottom
section of door.
