STEP 9 - Installing Door Sections

Step 9-1: Place the section in the opening so that it is against

the stop molding and centered from side to side. Place a level

on the section and use a piece of wood under one end or the

other (if necessary) to make the section level. (FIG. 9-A)

Step 9-2: Remove the level and drive a 3” nail in the jambs at

each end and bend it over the edge of the section to hold the

section in place. (FIG. 9-B)

NOTE: These nails are all that will hold the stacked door

section in place until the tracks are secured to the back jambs.

Be sure the nails hold the sections ﬁ rmly in position.

Step 9-3: With the Table 9-A below, determine the order in

which you will attach the remaining sections.

NOTE: If a lock assembly was ordered with the door, the holes

for the lock may be predrilled. (Lock templates are included in

the lock instructions for doors without predrilled holes.)

* Section with general safety label.

Step 9-4: Place the next section face down on the saw horses.

If your door is predrilled for a lock, this section will be the one

with holes in the center of the panel face. Identify the bottom

edge as shown in the illustration. (FIG. 9-C)

Attach a number 2 hinge to each end at the top edge using

#14 x 5/8" sheet metal screws. Remember that the number

is stamped on the side of the hinge that is to be attached to

the section. Attach a number 1 hinge to at each center stile

location along the top edge of the section.

Step 9-5: Keyed Lock Installation. If you wish to install a

keyed lock, begin the lock installation now according to the

supplemental instructions included with the lock hardware. If

your door did not come with a keyed lock, install lift handle as

shown on previous page.
