(2) 1/4" - 20 x 2-1/4" Carriage bolts
and (2) 1/4" - 20 Flange hex nuts
IF YOU HAVE 3" LONG STRUTS: Lay a long strut over the lower hinge leaf and over the top
rail of the bottom section. Center the long strut from side to side. Attach the upper slot of the
graduated end hinge, (1) strut clip to the upper leg of the strut to the bottom section using (1)
1/4" - 20 x 2-1/4" carriage bolt and (1) 1/4" - 20 flange hex nut. Next secure the bottom leg
of the strut with the hole of the graduated end hinge to the bottom section using (1) 1/4" -
20 x 2-1/4" carriage bolt and (1) 1/4" - 20 flange hex nut. Repeat for other side.
IF YOU HAVE DOUBLE GRADUATED END HINGES: Position the second graduated end
hinge next to the first (single) graduated end hinge. Using the second graduated end hinge as
a template, drill pilot holes, 1" deep into the bottom section using a 1/8" drill bit.
IMPORTANT: BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL NOT TO DRILL THRU THE SECTION. ONLY DRILL 1"
DEEP.
Secure the strut and the graduated end hinge to the bottom section using (2) 1/4" - 14 x 1"
lag screws. Repeat for other side.

FOR CENTER HINGES: Align the slots of the lower hinge leaf with the pre-drilled holes at
each center stile, located at the top rail of the bottom section. Using the center hinge as a
template, drill pilot holes, 1" deep into the bottom section with a 1/8" drill bit (if needed).
IMPORTANT: BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL NOT TO DRILL THRU THE SECTION. ONLY DRILL 1"
DEEP.
IF YOU HAVE 2" LONG STRUTS: Attach the upper slot of the center hinge using a 1/4" - 14
x 1" lag screw. Secure the leg of the strut to the hole of the center hinge using a 1/4" - 14 x
1" lag screw. Secure the other leg of the strut to the section using a 1/4" - 14 x 1" lag screw.
Repeat for other center hinge(s).

NOTE: If you don't have half center hinges, then skip this part of the step. Refer to Package
Contents / Breakdown Of Parts, to determine if you have half center hinges.
Using a tape measure, position the half center hinges equally spaced in between the center
hinges and the graduated end hinges. Position the holes of the lower hinge leaf at the top rail
of the bottom section. Using the half center hinge as a template, drill pilot holes, 1" deep into
the bottom section with a 1/8" drill bit (if needed).
IMPORTANT: BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL NOT TO DRILL THRU THE SECTION. ONLY DRILL 1"

If you have single graduated end hinges, insert a short stem track roller / short stem tandem
track roller (if included) into the hinge tube on each side.
If you have double graduated end hinges, insert a long stem track roller / short stem tandem
track roller (if included) into the hinge tubes on each side.
IMPORTANT: WHEN PLACING TRACK ROLLERS / TANDEM TRACK ROLLER (IF INCLUDED)
INTO GRADUATED END HINGES NUMBER 2 AND HIGHER, THE TRACK ROLLER / TANDEM

Section(s)
NOTE: Refer to door section identification, located in the pre-installation section of this
manual to determine what size section you need to use as your intermediate I (second) and if
applicable intermediate II (third) section. Measure your section to make sure it is the correct
height as indicated on the chart.
NOTE: Refer to the Graduated End Hinge Schedule below, to determine the appropriate
hinges for your bottom section.

NOTE: Center hinge(s) use #1 graduated end hinges at each pre-drilled or vertical stile loca-
tion. The pre-drilled locations are located at the top rails on the inside of the section surface.
NOTE: Some struts also may or may not have holes in them. If they don't, then prior to
installing the strut and hinge to the section surface, you may have to drill a 3/16" hole for the
appropriate fastener on one or both sides of the strut legs.
Place the Intermediate I section face down on a couple of sawhorses or flat clean/ smooth
surface. Using the appropriate graduated end hinges for the ends and depending on the
width of your door, enough center hinge(s) for each pre-drilled hole location(s). Starting at
the upper left hand corner of the Intermediate section. Position the lower hinge leaf of the
appropriate graduated end hinge onto the upper corner of the Intermediate section. Align the
slots of the lower hinge leaf with the pre-drilled holes in the Intermediate section. Next, lay a
long strut over the lower hinge leaf and over the top rail of the Intermediate section. Center
the long strut from side to side.
FOR GRADUATED END HINGES:
IF YOU HAVE 2" LONG STRUTS: Lay the leg of the long strut over the bottom hole of the
lower hinge leaf and the Intermediate section. Center the long strut from side to side. Attach
the upper slot of the graduated end hinge to the Intermediate section using (1) 1/4" - 20
x 2-1/4" carriage bolt and (1) 1/4" - 20 flange hex nut. Next attach the bottom hole of the
