Installation Guide

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 (end without holes).
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 overhead track 1/8” shorter
than the width of the opening.
7. Secure The Anchor Panel
Slide the entire door against
the non-opening side of the
doorway. With the door
panel hanging naturally,
locate the six holes on the
anchor panel where the door
will be secured to the jamb.
Using the drill, insert the
screws and secure the end
anchor panel to the jamb.
8. 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 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 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.
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 The Top Glides
Position top glides over center holes on top of each full
width panel. Snap top glides into place and make sure
they are secure.
To secure the lead edge top glide, place the T shaped
part inside the lead edge and align the holes. Then
insert the female section from the outside hole through
the hole in the T shaped glide through the other side
of the lead edge. Then insert the threaded male screw
into the female part and tighten until snug.
5. 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.
6.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.
