4. Hold the door
vertically and set 
the lower hinge 
of the pivot panel 
onto the pivot pin 
previously installed 
in the sill. Ensure 
that the pivot pin 
does not bend.
5. Align the top of the
panel with the top 
pivot hinge already 
installed in the head 
and fasten with 
screws the top pivot 
hinge onto the 
door.
SECOND DOOR 
(HINGE PANEL)
1. Hold the first
door in the open 
position. Place the 
second door next to 
first and align the 
tops of the doors 
and the hinges.
2. In some cases, the
roller hinges will be 
on the second door, 
making this the 
carrier panel.
THIRD DOOR (CARRIER 
PANEL)
1. Place the bottom
roller bearing into 
the main guide 
track with the pin 
toward the exterior.
2. Holding the door
vertically, screw the 
top roller hinge 
onto the door.
3. Slide the door
against the 
preceding door in the open position. Using a slotted screwdriver 
adjust the screws at the bottom of top roller hinge until the third 
door is flush with second (first) door at the top. 
4. Make sure the center pull handle is to the inside and join door
hinges.
5. Repeat the above procedures for additional hinge and carrier panels
until all doors are hung for that direction. When completed, repeat 
for the opposite direction.
FASTEN FRAME
1. To secure the head,
fasten through each 
pre-drilled hole. If 
not pre-drilled, drill 
fastener holes through 
the center of the top 
roller track every 3" 
on center for the 
first 15" out from 
the jambs and then 
every 16" on center. 
Fastener holes should 
not go through, but next to shims. Move shims accordingly to be next 
to fastener holes if necessary.
2. Secure the top roller track to the header using the provided #12 x 3"
flat head screws through the pre-drilled holes.
Note!
To avoid damage to the rollers, clean all debris from the top
roller track.
3. To secure the sill, 
pre-drill fastener holes 
through the bottom 
flush bolt guide 
channel or main guide 
track (only if fasteners 
will not impede 
rollers). Drill holes 4" 
from jamb at both 
ends, and then 8" on 
center for the first 16" 
and then every 16". 
Use the same fastener 
pattern as for the flush bolt guide channel and drill fastener holes.
4. Put a generous amount of silicone sealant in each hole and drive a
screw through each hole.
5. Secure the side jambs behind the weather-stripping every 16".
INSTALL PANELS
Study the door configuration before installation. Begin panel 
installation from the pivot panel at jamb end and continue away from 
jamb in each direction according to configuration. Doors are numbered 
from the outside, left to right.
FIRST DOOR (PIVOT PANEL)
1. To gain access to the
installation holes in the 
lower pin, first pull the 
top cover up and then 
slide the pin assembly 
from the base.
2. Set the lower pivot
pin base in the sill as 
shown and fasten with 
a provided #8 x 1" pan 
head screw through the 
pre-drilled hole in the 
sill closest to the jamb.
3. Slide the pin assembly
back into the base 
and snap the top 
cover back on and 
fasten through the 
remaining hole with the other screw.
