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 Phillips screwdriver, a athead screwdriver,
a tape measure, a small nail, and a 3/32” drill bit for pilot holes, a
hacksaw or ne 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. Fine sandpaper (used to smooth edges after trimming).
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 o
excess from the bottom of the door panels.
To trim the door height: Stack the door panels
together and secure with masking tape.
Remove bottom hinge screws. Cut excess with
ahacksaw or ne tooth saw. Reinsert hinge
screws. Cut the overhead track 1/8”shorter than
the width of the opening. Fine sandpaper may be used to smooth
rough edges.
Please visit the Product support video section of our website if you
need to remove door panels.
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 pilot-hole (with a nail or
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.)
3. Install the 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.
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 pilot holes (with a
nail or a 3/32” drill bit), 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 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 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 ve screw holes
(as above). If necessary, cut the
channel to match Encore 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.
8. Install the Door Locking Clip
Align the locking clip with
the predrilled pilot hole
located on the lead edge
(between the door handles).
Install the locking clip by
using a 1” athead screw.

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 t your
opening.
2. Install 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 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.
4. Install The Door Panels
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 cen-
ter joint and leave the screw projecting down 1/2” to prevent
glides from passing the joint.
5. Secure The Anchor Panel
Use the closure channel to measure and align the channel
clips. Align the channel on one side of the door jamb. Make
sure the top of the channel is straight up
and down.
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 press
the door anchor panel onto them until it snaps into place.
Repeat on the other door jamb.
6. Install The Closure Channel
Align the closure channel on the lead edge of one door so
that it is ush 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. Install the closure channel using ve 1”
athead screws. You will have a spare closure channel when
installing a double door.
7. Install Door Locking Clip
Align the locking clip with the predrilled pilot hole located on
the lead edge of the other door (between the door handles).
Install the locking clip using a 1” athead screw. You will
have a spare locking clip when installing a double door.
