Header, Jamb and Floor Track Assembly and Installation
US23-2101-02 Rev A
Rough Opening Inspection
Check that there is sufficient material to adequately support and
attach the Header using the factory-predrilled holes.
The rough opening must be plumb and square and the finished
floor must not vary by more than 1/4" from the highest to the
lowest point. If necessary, have the floor leveled before
attempting to install the sliding door system.
It is important to check that the floor is level within the travel and
path of the doors in break out mode. The doors must not
encounter any obstruction when broken out. Ideally, the floor
should be level or slope away from the wall on the breakout side
of the door.
Verify that the rough opening width is 1/2" wider than the overall
frame width of the sliding door system, and that the rough
opening height is 1/4" higher than the overall frame height. For
example, an overall frame height of 89-3/4", requires a Rough
Opening Height (ROH) of 90" measured from the highest point of
the floor in the opening between the jambs.
(96 x 89 ¾ = 96 ½ x 90 RO)
