20 x 2-1/4" carriage bolt and (1) 1/4" - 20 flange hex nut. Next secure the bottom leg of the
strut to the Intermediate 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 3" LONG STRUTS: 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. Attach the upper slot
of the graduated end hinge, (1) strut clip to the upper leg of the strut to the Intermediate sec-
tion 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 Intermediate
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 Intermediate 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 Intermediate section. Using the center hinge
as a template, drill pilot holes, 1" deep into the Intermediate 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).

IF YOU HAVE 3" LONG STRUTS: Attach the upper leg of the strut to the upper slot of the
center hinge using (1) strut clip and a 1/4" - 14 x 1" lag screw. Secure the lower leg of the
strut to the hole of the center hinge 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 Intermediate section. Using the half center hinge as a template, drill pilot holes, 1"
deep into the Intermediate 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.

tion
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 top section. Measure your
section to make sure it is the correct height as indicated on the chart.
Place the top section face down on a couple of sawhorses or flat clean/ smooth surface.
Lay a SHORT STRUT onto the top rail of the top section. Position the top of the strut 3/4"
downward from the top edge of the top section. Center the short strut from side to side on
the section surface. Drill pilot holes, 1" deep into the top section using a 1/8" drill bit.
IMPORTANT: BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL NOT TO DRILL THRU THE SECTION. ONLY DRILL 1"
DEEP.
Attach the strut using (1) 1/4" - 14 x 1" lag screw at each pre-drilled hole.

NOTE: If your door came with two top fixtures, then one top fixture and a short stem track
roller are required for each side.
NOTE: If your door came with four top fixtures, then two top fixtures and a long stem track
roller are required for each side.
Loosely secure the top fixture slide and the "L" reinforcement bracket (if applicable) to the top
fixture base using (1) 5/16" - 18 x 3/4" carriage bolt and (1) 5/16" - 18 hex nut, as shown.
Repeat for other top fixture assemblies.

Starting on the left hand side, align the lip of the top fixture base onto the top corner of the
top section and even with the side edge of the top section. Using the top fixture base as a
template, mark and pre-drill (3) 9/32" diameter holes through the top section.
NOTE: If the "L" reinforcement bracket(s) was not supplied with your door, then only pre-drill
(2) 9/32" diameter holes drilled holes are needed. Along with only (2) 1/4" - 20 x 2-1/4"
carriage bolts and (3) 1/4" - 20 flange hex nuts used to attach the top fixture assembly to the
top section.
Attach the top fixture base to the top section using 1/4" - 20 x 2-1/4" carriage bolts and 1/4"
