STEP 9 - Installing Door Sections

(Continued)

Step 9-6: Place the second section on top of the  rst section.

Drive a 3” nail in the jambs at each end and bend it over the

edges of the section to hold the section in place. Attach the

hinges from the top of the  rst section to the bottom of the

second. (FIG. 9-D)

Step 9-7: Place the third section on saw horses. Attach #3

hinges to the ends at the top edge and #1 hinges to all other

stiles along the top edge using #14 x 5/8” sheet metal screws.

(FIG. 9-E)

NOTE: If your door was supplied with more than 1 strut

(consult Table 7-A on bottom of page 10), use 1/4” x 3/4” self

tapping screws to attach strut as shown in the illustration.

When pre-drilled holes in strut do not line up vertically with

stiles, you will be required to drill (2) 3/16” pilot holes through

the strut and the stile at each end stile and each center stile,

or use a drill or impact wrench with a 7/16” socket to drive

self-tapping screws through strut and stile. (FIG. 9-E)

Step 9-8: Place the third section on top of the other sections

and nail in place as before. Attach the hinges from the top of

the previous section to the bottom of this section. (FIG. 9-D)

If you have two sections left, repeat Steps 9-7 and 9-8 using

#4 hinges on the end of the top edge and #1 hinges to all other

stiles along the top edge.

Step 9-9: Place the last section on the saw horses. Attach the

top roller brackets as shown. The top roller brackets are to be

attached with three (insulated doors) or four (non-insulated

doors) #14 x 5/8” sheet metal screws. The top of the bracket

should be located 3-1/4” down from the top of the door. The

bottom of the bracket goes in smaller holes 6-1/4” from top of

section. (FIG. 9-F)

If your door was supplied with any struts (consult Table 7-A

on bottom of page 10), use 1/4” x 3/4” self tapping screws

to attach strut as shown in the illustration. When pre-drilled

holes in strut do not line up vertically with stiles, you will be

required to drill (2) 3/16” pilot holes through the strut and the

stile at each end stile and each center stile, or use a drill or

impact wrench with a 7/16” socket to drive self-tapping screws

through strut and stile. (FIG. 9-F)

Step 9-10: Place a roller in the top and bottom brackets and

in the tubes in each of the hinges at the ends of each section.

Some hinges have two tubes. Place the roller in the tube that is

farthest from the face of the door. (FIG 9-G)
