PolyTrak Roll-up Door
Installation Instructions
Installation Sheet #INS-09001
Patent Pending
Installation Sheet # INS-09001 • 5/09
The PolyTrak is installed like a traditional wood panel door
with 2” rollers and a dual spring operator door with a few
small exceptions as noted here. These differences
do not apply to replacement doors made to
an exact size and would only apply to UDI
(universal drop-in doors).
Cutting of Panels:
These unique panels have two galvanized
steel reinforcement channels molded into the
top and bottom of each one. Use an abrasive
cut-off blade with your circular saw or a bi-metal
blade in a recipricating saw to cut PolyTrak panels.
The power of the saw will determine the speed of
cutting through the steel channels.

Installation of Aluminum Blind Rivets:
Rivets for both the center hinges and end hinges on the PolyTrak
door do not go all the way through the panel. Use a drill to drill
the hole for the rivet then use a pop rivet gun to install the rivet
(a mechanical or air power gun can be used). CAUTION: Do not
drill all the way through the panel!
Lock and Handle Backing Plates:
As noted in the illustration, install the backing plates with regular
hardware.
Bottom Panel Stiffners:
One Bottom Panel Stiffner is installed at both ends of the panel
in a vertical position as shown in the illustration. Position the two
bottom holes in the Stiffner with door cable U-bolt holes and
secure with nuts. Use the aluminum blind rivets for the top holes.
When drilling holes for the blind rivets, do not drill all the way
through the panel.
Painting Panels:
The white color panels will never need painting because the color
is molded in with a UV stabilizer to prevent yellowing. If a color
other than white is desired, please contact the Fleet Engineers
Engineering Department for instructions.
Cleaning the PolyTrak door:
A variety of products are available to clean PolyTrak panels if
needed. Fleet Engineers has tested and recommends a Starbrite
product called “NonSkid Deck Cleaner”. Visit their website for
