Roller Strap Installation
1. Install the roller straps onto the top edge of the door. The location of these straps is
critical for the proper, safe use of the rolling door.
2. The distance between the top of the door and the outer diameter of the back of the
wheel (measured from the back of the door) should be 13/16” – 7/8” (this will achieve
approximately 3/32” gap between the top of the door and the rail when these
measurements are achieved).
3. Using the screws provided attach the strap to the door. It is very important that the
screws are installed into solid wood, not hollow-core doors with thin veneer skins. It is also
recommended that you predrill the screw holes. Make sure that proper vertical alignment
of the strap is achieved before fastening the strap to the door.
Rail Installation
1. The location of the rail is dependent on the height of the door, desired gap between the
oor and bottom of door and desired overlay of top of the door to door opening.
2. Recommended spacing for the wall mounted brackets is 16”
3. The Short Bracket will accommodate doors up to 1-1/2” thick,
the Long Bracket will accommodate doors up to 2-1/4” thick.
4. Wall brackets must be mounted securely into the studs behind the sheetrock. If the brack-
ets are to be mounted to the moulding surrounding the opening, the moulding must be
rmly secured to the wall framework.
End Stops and Center Guide ( oor mounted & wall mounted)
1. After installing the door onto the rail, slide the door to the desired opened position.
2. Install the End Stop bracket to the oor or wall so that the door stops in the desired
opened position.
3. Install the Center Guide bracket so that the door will always be captured by this bracket in
the fully opened and fully closed position.
4. Repeat step #2 for installation of the other End Stop bracket when the door is in the closed
position.
Dimensional Speci cations
Gap between the wall and the door
Using the Short Bracket: Door thickness minus 1-7/8” = gap
Using the Long Bracket: Door Thickness minus 2-1/2” = gap
Door width recommendation: 4” wider than the opening (2” on each side)
Door height recommendation: The height will depend on location of the bracket, but in
applications where the brackets are not above the door opening (narrower door openings
where the brackets can be on either side of the opening) 1” above the opening would
be su cient.
