Instructions / Assembly

For quick and easy installation of your folding door,
read these instructions thoroughly. A few minutes of
prior planning will make the job easier and will ensure
years of trouble-free use.
Express One Plus track must be installed into
header of sound construction. Header and door
jamb must be plumb and level for the track and
door to install and function properly. Track cannot
be installed into drywall or drop ceilings.
Express One Plus doors utilize a suction closure.
The Tools You Will Need
• #1 Phillips screwdriver • athead screwdriver • tape
measure • small nail • 3/32” drill bit for pilot holes
• hacksaw or ne tooth saw (needed to trim top track)
• safety glasses • ne sandpaper (used to smooth
edges after trimming).
SINGLE DOOR INSTALLATION
1. Measure the Door Opening
36” x 80” door: The nished opening of
your doorway should be a maximum of
36” wide and 80” high.
48” x 80” door: The nished opening of
your doorway should be a maximum of
48” wide and 80” high.
The Express One Plus door height
cannot be altered or trimmed.
2. Install the Top Track
Cut the top track 1/8” shorter
than the width of the opening.
Position the top track on the
top of the door opening so that
it is straight and centered.
After making a pilot hole
(with a nail or a 3/32” drill bit), drive a 1” track screw
through the screw hole nearest the center of the track.
Do not tighten. (Tape may be used to hold the track in
place while you mark and drill.)
4. Install the Door Panels
Apply track lubricant to each top glide. Swing
one end of the overhead track out of the door
opening to accept the top glides. Decide if you
want the door to
open from the left
or the right, then
slide all top glides
onto the track.
Stack the panels
together near the
center screw.
5. Secure the Top Track
Swing the track back to
its original position. After
making screw pilot holes
(with a nail or a 3/32”
drill), drive the 1” track
screws through all track
holes. Set all screws as
straight and tight as
possible to assure
smooth operation of the door.
6. Secure the Anchor Panel
Use the closure
channel to measure
and align the channel
clips. Align the
channel on the
non-opening side
of the door jamb.
Make sure the
channel is plumb.
Mark each of the ve
closure channel screw
holes and remove the
closure channel. Make
pilot holes (with a nail
or a 3/32” drill bit) and install the channel clips
loosely, using ve of the 1” roundhead screws.
Align the clips vertically and fully secure the
screws. Press the door anchor panel onto them
until it snaps into place.
7. Secure the Closure Channel
Align the closure channel on
the opening side of the door
jamb. Make sure the channel
is plumb. Mark each of the
ve screw holes (as above).
If necessary, cut the channel
to match the door size. Make
pilot holes in door jamb (with
a nail or a 3/32” drill bit) and
install the closure channel,
using ve of the 1”
athead screws.

Double Door Installation
1. Measure the Door Opening
36” x 80” Double doors: The nished opening of
your doorway should be a maximum of 72” wide
and 80” high.
48” x 80” Double doors: The nished opening of
your doorway should be a maximum of 96” wide
and 80” high.
The Express One Plus door height cannot be
altered or trimmed.
Divide the width of the opening by two. Cut
each overhead track to this measurement so
that when installed, the tracks butt against one
another in the center of the door opening.
It is also acceptable to use one track if it will t
your opening.
2. Install One Top Track
On a center line drawn across the top of the
door opening, install either half track and install
all screws in the half track. Refer to single door
step. If using a single track, use one
center screw.
3. Install the Door Handles
Tap the two handle attachment pins into one
handle, then t the pins through the door panel
holes. Press the other handle onto the pins.
If necessary, you may back one handle with a
solid object and tap the other handle alternately
over each pin area until the handles are seated.
Do not strike the middle of either handle.
Repeat with other handle.
4. Install the Door Panels
Apply track lubricant to each top glide. Install
the two doors in the half track with lead edges
facing each other. If necessary install the second
track and push one door onto this track. Set a
track screw at the track center joint and leave
the screw projecting down 1/2” to prevent glides
from passing the joint.
5. Secure the Anchor Panels
Use the closure channel to measure and align
the channel clips. Align the channel on one of
the door jambs. Make sure the top of the
channel is plumb.
Mark each of the ve closure channel screws
holes and remove the closure channel. Make
pilot holes (with a nail or a 3/32 drill bit) and
install the channel clips loosely, using ve of the
1” roundhead screws. Align the clips vertically
and fully secure the screws. Press the door
anchor panel onto them until it snaps into place.
Repeat on the other side of the door jamb.
6. Install the Closure Channel
Align the closure channel on the lead edge of
one door so that it is plumb with the top and
bottom of the door. Mark each of the ve screw
holes on the lead edge and drill ve pilot holes
with a 3/32” bit. Secure the closure channel
using ve 1” athead screws.
