INSTALLATION GUIDE

General Pre-Installation Guide

DO NOT UNLOCK the door until the unit is completely installed. The locked door panel will help aid in keeping the door/frame square during the installation process. Unlocking the door prior to completion of the installation may result in operation problems of the door.

KEYS, ANCHORS, FASTENERS & INSTRUCTIONS for this door are located in the padded envelope that is attached to the door frame or closer.

FOR A 6070 please install the additional mounting clip to the head of the frame prior to setting the unit in place. To install, align the smaller surface of the clip with the pilot holes that are located on top of the frame head and attach with the fasteners provided. This will provide additional support for the frame head. FAILURE TO INSTALL THIS MOUNTING CLIP may cause the frame head to sag and lead to operational problems of the unit.

Installation Steps

1. After uncrating the door, position it under the girt with the outside edge of the subframing flush with the outside edge of the girt.
2. PLUMB AND SQUARE DOOR UNIT. Check the gap between the top of the door panel and header. There MUST be an even reveal.
3. When the door is plumb, back out the screws holding the top jamb clips and slide clips up against the bottom of the wall girt. Attach clips to wall girt using the self-drilling screws provided. Reattach the clips to the subframe (framed opening). FOR A 6070, secure the mounting clip already fastened to the head frame to the outside face of the girt with the fasteners provided (this will provide additional support for the frame head).
4. Anchor the base clips to the floor with the (4) anchor bolts provided.
5. Remove the screws holding the door leaf shut and check for proper operation.

6. Anchor threshold to floor with the (3) anchors provided. Caulk or grout under the threshold.
