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.
The Tools You Will Need
You will need a small #1 Phillips 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 opening 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.
If the opening is less than 80”
high: Stack the door panels
together, secure with masking
tape and cut with a hacksaw or fine tooth saw. Remove
the masking tape. Cut the Top track 1/8” shorter than
the width of the opening.
6. Secure The Anchor Panel
Slide the entire door against
the non-opening side of the
doorway. With the door
panel hanging naturally,
locate the three holes on the
anchor panel where the door
will be secured to the jamb.
Install the 1” anchor screws
through the washers and
secure the door to the jamb.
7. Install Magnetic Latch Striker Plate
Place the magnetic latch striker plate against the metal
strips on the door edge. Close the door until it strikes
the door jamb. Mark the proper location of the latch.
Secure the latch to the door jamb with the two 1/2”
flathead screws.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
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.
2. Install One Overhead 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.
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. Then install the second track and push one door
onto this track. Set a screw at the track center joint and leave
the screw projecting down 1/4” to prevent glides from passing
the joint.
4. Install Magnetic Latch Striker Plate
Carefully pry the magnet from one of your doors using a putty
knife or butter knife. Over the area where the magnet was, install
the metal striker plate with the screws provided.
Follow single door installation step number 8.

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 3/4” track screws through all track holes. Set
all screws as straight and tight as possible to assure
smooth operation of the door.
2. Install the Top Track
Position the top 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 3/4” 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.
