Step 32: Track Installation
You will need for this page:
1/4" x 5/8" Track
Bolt & Hex Nut
Prepare the Vertical Tracks.
1
The top of the vertical track must pitch back from the jamb for door to seal properly. This spacing is set
by use of graduated track brackets. Attach but do not fully tighten brackets to track with 1/4" x 5/8" track
bolts and nuts. The detail is shown with two different track brackets.
Always place heads of bolts to inside of the track.
This will prevent rollers from striking bolts.
2
The fl ag angle mounts to the top of the track with
(2) 1/4" x 5/8" track bolts and nuts. This bracket
joins the vertical and horizontal tracks as well as the
angle attached to the horizontal track. Leave bolts
loose at this time. You will adjust the track after it is
installed to the jambs.
