PARTS INCLUDED
1. Fasten the pivot
plates to each
door panel with
the 1 1/4" pan
head screws in the
locations shown.
Use the 1" flat head
screws on the lower
pivot pin. Center
each plate on the
panel.
2. Trim track to fit
finished opening.
3. Install top pivot
bracket into one
end of the track with the pin toward the end and 2 1/4" in. From
the other end, install the hanger and snugger (with rubber bumper
toward hanger) into track.
4. Position overhead
track in the opening
with the open
side down and
the bracket end
toward the jamb.
Allow 3/4" between
the front of the
opening and the
track and drive the
provided 1 1/4"
pan head screws
through the pre-
drilled holes until
snug. Position the
lower bracket on
the floor in line with overhead track. Fasten to the jamb with a 1 1/4"
flat head screw through the middle of the top slotted hole.
5. Unlock the track
pivot plate by
pulling the latch
away from the
bracket. With the
door assembly
folded, place the
pin from the top
pivot bracket into
the pivot plate on
the pivot door. Slide
the pin into the
pivot plate and slide
the latch to lock the
pivot plate to the
bracket. Verify the
pin is secure. In the
same manner, lock
the hanger into the
pivot plate on the
lead door.
6. On the bottom,
depress the arm on
the lower bracket
and insert the lower
pivot pin.
To adjust horizontally:
7. At the top, loosen
the screw in the
top pivot bracket
and move toward
or away from the
jamb until there
is 1/4" clearance.
Retighten. Repeat
the process for the
lower bracket.
To adjust vertically:
8. There should be a
slight gap between
the lower pin and
the bracket. If there is no gap or the gap is too large and allows the
pin to come out of the bracket, loosen the single screw in the bracket
and adjust up or down until there is a small gap and the pin is
engaged in the bracket. When the bracket is properly adjusted, install
the remaining two screws and tighten.
9. Loosen the screw on the snugger and close doors. Move until the
snugger contacts the guide pin. Open doors and move an additional
1/8" and tighten screw. Doors should slightly “snap” shut, but reopen
easily with a tug on the knob.
10. Adjust the snugger by closing doors, loosen screw and slide against
guide in track. Open doors and move snugger 1/8" closer to panels
and tighten screw.
Continue with Section 8, “COMPLETE INSTALLATION.”
