Reversing Door Frame – 2-Wide Door Only
The 2-Wide 6-8 patio door can be reversed so the
sliding panel is placed on the side opposite from
the way it was received from the factory.
Panels are heavy. Use
caution when handling to
avoid injury or damage. Use
adequate number of people to safely handle
panel.
Determine Door Operation
Patio door operation is viewed from the exterior of
the unit (FIGURE 1). Reversible patio doors are
factory set-up so the inactive panel is on the left
side and the active panel is on the right side. If you
wish to have the left panel active instead, the door
frame, inactive panel, sliding panel and hardware
must be reversed before installing unit in rough
opening. Instructions follow.
Reversing Door Frame
Secure unit upright, positioned as in (FIGURE 1),
so it will be stable while performing the following
steps.
1. Remove packaging materials from door frame.
2. Remove the screen (see page 16).
3. Remove the active panel (see page 18).
4. Remove screen track from screen channel
(FIGURES 2, 3 & 5).
5. Remove sill stop
and rotate sill track out
of the track channel
