INSTALL DOOR - CONTINUED

INSTALL PANELS

Study the overall door configuration before installation. Begin panel

installation from the pivot panel at side jamb and continue toward

center. Panels are numbered according to installed position, from the

outside, left to right.
Some hinge screws are

pre-installed in the

edge of the panels that

have flush bolts. These

screws are shorter than

the other hinge screws

and must be removed

to install the hinge and

then re-installed in the

same location. This is to

eliminate interference

between the hinge

screws and flush bolt.

FIRST PANEL (PIVOT PANEL)
Note!

Steps 1 and 2 will work on lighter panels. Skip to steps 3 and 4 if

working with taller/heavier panels.

(THREE HINGES

OR LESS)

1. Install hinge leaf on

lower end of panel

with provided

#10 x 1 1/2" flat

head screws.

2. Hold the door in the

vertical position.

Lift, align and

then set the lower

hinge onto the

pivot pin installed

into the sill. Ensure

the panel does

not make contact

with the head of

the door frame

during process.

With the door panel

supported, rotate

to the fully opened

position.

(UNITS WITH
FOUR HINGES)

3. Slide hinge leaf onto pivot pin installed into the sill. Orientate the

hinge to simulate a fully opened position. Lift and set the door panel
adjacent to the hinge leaf. Ensure the panel does not make contact
with the head of the door frame during process. (NOTE: Additional
wood blocking or shimming maybe used under the door panel to
assist with alignment).

4. With the panel supported, secure the hinge leaf to the edge of the

panel with provided #10 x 1 1/2" flat head screws.

5. If installing a door

panel with a center

pivot, place the long

leg of the pin into the

barrel of the hinge

leaf on the panel. Tilt

panel toward jamb

so that the short pin

engages the housing

in the jamb.

6. Slide the top hinge

leaf onto the upper

pivot and align the

top of the panel with

the hinge leaf. Fasten the leaf to the door panel with the

#10 x 1 1/2" flat head screws.

7. If door configuration has panel(s) pivoting from both ends, then

repeat steps above at other side of door frame. Additionally, if the

door only pivots from the RH side of the frame then start the panel

installation from the right (this will require the highest number

panel, 3 or 4, to be installed first and the lower numbered panel

installed last).

SECOND PANEL (HINGE PANEL)

1. Hold the pivot door panel in the open position. Place the second door

panel next to first wood face to wood face and align the tops of the

door panels and the hinges.

2. If present, make sure the center pull handle is to the inside. Secure

hinges with the provided #10 x 1 1/2" flat head screws.

THIRD/ADDITIONAL PANEL (CARRIER PANEL or HINGE or PIVOT)

1. Holding the door

panel vertically (clad

face to clad face),

screw the top guide

and bottom roller

hinge onto the door

panel.

2. Repeat the above

procedures for

additional hinge and

carrier panels until all

door panels are hung

for that direction.
