INSTALL PANELS
Study the overall door configuration before installation. Begin panel
installation from the pivot panel at side jamb and continue toward
center. Panels are numbered according to installed position, from the
outside, left to right.
Some hinge screws are
pre-installed in the
edge of the panels that
have flush bolts. These
screws are shorter than
the other hinge screws
and must be removed
to install the hinge and
then re-installed in the
same location. This is to
eliminate interference
between the hinge
screws and flush bolt.
FIRST PANEL (PIVOT PANEL)
Note!
Steps 1 and 2 will work on lighter panels. Skip to steps 3 and 4 if
working with taller/heavier panels.
(THREE HINGES
OR LESS)
1. Install hinge leaf on
lower end of panel
with provided
#10 x 1 1/2" flat
head screws.
2. Hold the door in the
vertical position.
Lift, align and
then set the lower
hinge onto the
pivot pin installed
into the sill. Ensure
the panel does
not make contact
with the head of
the door frame
during process.
With the door panel
supported, rotate
to the fully opened
position.
(UNITS WITH
FOUR HINGES)
3. Slide hinge leaf onto pivot pin installed into the sill. Orientate the
hinge to simulate a fully opened position. Lift and set the door panel
adjacent to the hinge leaf. Ensure the panel does not make contact
with the head of the door frame during process. (NOTE: Additional
wood blocking or shimming maybe used under the door panel to
assist with alignment).
4. With the panel supported, secure the hinge leaf to the edge of the
panel with provided #10 x 1 1/2" flat head screws.

5. If installing a door
panel with a center
pivot, place the long
leg of the pin into the
barrel of the hinge
leaf on the panel. Tilt
panel toward jamb
so that the short pin
engages the housing
in the jamb.
6. Slide the top hinge
leaf onto the upper
pivot and align the
top of the panel with
the hinge leaf. Fasten the leaf to the door panel with the
#10 x 1 1/2" flat head screws.
7. If door configuration has panel(s) pivoting from both ends, then
repeat steps above at other side of door frame. Additionally, if the
door only pivots from the RH side of the frame then start the panel
installation from the right (this will require the highest number
panel, 3 or 4, to be installed first and the lower numbered panel
installed last).
SECOND PANEL (HINGE PANEL)
1. Hold the pivot door panel in the open position. Place the second door
panel next to first wood face to wood face and align the tops of the
door panels and the hinges.
2. If present, make sure the center pull handle is to the inside. Secure
hinges with the provided #10 x 1 1/2" flat head screws.
THIRD/ADDITIONAL PANEL (CARRIER PANEL or HINGE or PIVOT)
1. Holding the door
panel vertically (clad
face to clad face),
screw the top guide
and bottom roller
hinge onto the door
panel.
2. Repeat the above
procedures for
additional hinge and
carrier panels until all
door panels are hung
for that direction.
