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.
The Tools You Will Need
You will need a small #1 Phillips screwdriver, a flathead screwdriver, a tape
measure, a small nail, and a 3/32” drill for screw pilot holes, a hacksaw or
fine tooth saw (saw needed to trim top track for the appropriate width or
to trim height of panels if door is less than 80” high); and masking tape (to
secure doors if trimming is necessary.) Safety glasses.
SINGLE DOOR INSTALLATION
1. Measure the Door Opening
If the height of your door opening is approximately
80”, you will not need to alter the door itself. If
the opening is less than 80” high, the door may be
shortened by sawing off excess from the bottom of
the door panels.
Stack the door panels together and secure with
masking tape. Remove bottom hinge screws. Cut
excess with a hacksaw or fine tooth saw. Reinsert
hinge screws. Remove the masking tape. Cut the
overhead track 1/8”shorter than the width of the opening.
2. Install the Top Track
Position the overhead track on the top of
the door opening so that it is straight and
centered.
After making a screw pilot hole (with a
nail or 3/32” drill), 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.)
3. Install the Handles
Tap the two handle attachment pins into one handle, then fit 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.
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 top of
the channel is straight up
and down.
Mark each of the five
closure channel screws
holes and remove the
closure channel. Make
screw pilot holes (with a
nail or 3/32 drill) and install
the channel clips loosely, using five of the 1” flathead screws.
Align the clips vertically and 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 straight up and down.
Mark each of the five screw holes (as
above). If necessary, cut the channel
to match the door size. Make screw
pilot holes in door jamb (with a nail
or a 3/32” drill) and install the closure
channel, using five of the 1” flathead
screws.
8. Install The Magnetic Latch Striker
Plates
Position both of the striker plates inside the closure channel,
across from the two magnets on the lead edge of the door.
Mark the locations of the striker plate holes on the channel.
Make pilot holes (with a nail or a 3/32” drill) in the closure
channel. Install the striker plates with four 1” flathead screws.

Double Door Installation
1.Measure The Door Opening
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 fit 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.
if using a single track, use one center screw.
3. Install The Door Panels
Please lubricate the top glides with the lubricant supplied.
Install the two doors in the half track with lead edges facing
each other. If nessary 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 1/4” to prevent glides from
passing the joint.
4. 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 top of the channel is straight up and down.
Mark each of the five closure channel screws holes and
remove the closure channel. Make screw pilot holes (with a nail
or 3/32 drill) and install the channel clips loosely, using five of
the 1” flathead screws. Align the clips vertically and press the
door anchor panel channel onto them until it snaps into place.
5. Install The Closure Channel
Remove the magnets from one door by prying them loose
carefully with a flat head screwdriver. Align the closure channel on
the lead edge of this door so that it is flush with the top and bottom
of the door. Mark each of the five screw holes on the lead edge
and drill five pilot holes with 1/4” bit. Install the closure channel
using five 1” flathead screws.
6. Install The Magnetic Latch Striker Plate
to Closure Channel
If closure channel is not used, it may be necessary to remove the
magnets from one door and reverse polarity.
Follow single door installation step number 8 for both sides of
the jamb.
