PANEL INSTALLATION (CONTINUED)
Install Initial Panel (All Congurations)
1. Locate the panel(s) that will ride on the interior most track.
NOTE: Be cautious not to damage the rollers during handling and
installation.
• Working from the exterior, position the panel in front of the
door frame.
• Position the panel so that it overlaps the hook strip(s) by 50%
(needed for proper interlock engagement).
2. Lean the door panel head inward so it aligns with the interior most
track of the door head jamb.
2. Roll the panel out of the way to gain access to the frame head jamb.
3. Position the panel head block against the alignment mark on the
frame head jamb. Pre-drill through each screw hole in the block.
NOTE: Block should be positioned so when the panel is in the
closed and locked position, the block will be even with, or
slightly protruding from the panel edge.
ATTENTION: Positioning of the head panel blocks can vary dependent
upon door conguration. The immediate steps below address “most
congurations”. However, if you have a door unit with an astragal,
additional steps are required.
ATTENTION: For door congurations with larger 4' wide x 10' tall
panels, rated PG60, an additional head block is needed. This
block should be centered above the panel (when in the closed and
locked position).
3. Lift the panel up to engage the
interior most head track then
swing the door panel bottom
inward to align with the interior
most roller track.
4. Lower the panel down onto the
roller track. Ensure the rollers are
centered on the track.
5. Position the panel within the
frame so that it fully engages
the hook strip.
Sub-Section – Install of Head Panel Blocks
NOTE: Head panel blocks are considered a structural component and are
included with most door congurations (all doors rated PG35 and above).
Additionally, 4' wide x 10' sized panels/PG60 doors will require one
additional head panel block centered above each panel. If your door did
not come with these parts, proceed to the following “Weatherstrip pad”
Sub-Section.
1. Make a mark on the frame head jamb next to the edge of the panel
(suggest the use of a pencil or a piece of tape). Do this next to the
panel edge that does not engage the hook strip.
4. Attach the panel head block with two of the appropriate type of
fasteners (based on the substrate). Refer to the Product Approval
Document.
NOTE: Ensure to shim above the door frame at each panel block location
to avoid frame distortion.
