Used for standard doors that are grooved  
in the bottom of the panel for the guide.
With the door hanging straight, position the floor-
mount door guide inside groove in the bottom of the 
door. Slide the door side to side to ensure the guide  
is properly placed. Mark location of the guide. 
Attached guide with supplied screws. If needed 
supplied anchors can be used by drilling 1/4" dia  
holes. (FIGURE 12)
To fasten guide the door may need to be removed or

Close instructions for mounting activation brackets.

OPTIONAL WALL-MOUNTED  
DOOR GUIDE INSTALLATION
The Wall-Mounted Guide can be used if the 
floor condition makes it difficult to attach  
the floor mounted guide. 
Close to the opening, position and secure the wall-
mounted door guide directly into the wall or trim, 
extending the guide as necessary to allow the door to 
travel side-to-side. Tighten to secure in place.
NOTE: Adjust correctly for 1-3/8" or 1-3/4" thick  
doors for smooth opening and closing operation.
To fasten guide the door may need to be removed or 
slide out of the way by loosening one of the stoppers.

GUIDES USING SIDE METHOD 
For custom doors that are not grooved on  
the bottom, the side guides can be used. 
Close to the opening, position both the floor-mounted 
door guides to allow the door to travel  
side-to-side on both sides of the door. Screw into
place directly into the floor.
Note: Measure correctly for 1-3/8" or 1-3/4" thick
doors for smooth opening and closing operation.
