  1. Technical Support Contacts:
  2. Measure the Opening Width near the top of the Opening.
    • Measure the Opening Width near the top of the Opening.

    • Divide that overall width measurement in half to find the Centerline location.

    • Clearly Mark the Centerline location.

  3. The Header Measuring Process is identical for all Door Models. The Door Model you are installing may be different from the Model shown.
    • The Header Measuring Process is identical for all Door Models. The Door Model you are installing may be different from the Model shown.

    • Place the Door roll Header Assembly across a safe and level work surface, and rotate the roll assembly frame so that the Header Bracket Mounting flanges are facing upward.

    • Measure the total width of the whole roll assembly from outermost edge of one Header Bracket’s Mounting flange to the outermost edge of the opposite side.

    • Divide that number by 2. This number is 1/2 of the Header Width, and is used to determine the Header location on the Left and Right Sides of the opening.

  4. Mark this dimension on each side of the Opening Center mark.
    • Mark this dimension on each side of the Opening Center mark.

  5. The Track Measuring Process is identical for all G1 Door Models. The Door Model you are installing may be different from the Model shown.
    • The Track Measuring Process is identical for all G1 Door Models. The Door Model you are installing may be different from the Model shown.

    • Set one of the Vertical Track Assemblies on your work surface.

    • Measure the Length of the Vinyl Track only.

    • ADD 3-1/4” to this number and take note.

    • This is the Height dimension needed to mark the location of the Bottom edge of the Header Mounting Brackets.

  6. With the Calculated number (Track length + 3-1/4"), add a Horizontal line on each side of the Opening that intersects the previously drawn Vertical line.
    • With the Calculated number (Track length + 3-1/4"), add a Horizontal line on each side of the Opening that intersects the previously drawn Vertical line.

  7. Use two (2) people, and two ladders (at minimum).
    • Use two (2) people, and two ladders (at minimum).

    • Raise the Roll Header Assembly into place on the wall.

    • The bottom and outside edges of the Header Mounting Brackets should fit inside of Marks on the Mounting Surface.

    • Transfer the (3) Slot locations, per side, onto the Mounting Surface.

    • Prepare the locations for Hardware appropriate to the building material.

    • Loosely secure with three (3) sets of mounting hardware per side.

    • Level the Header Assembly, and fully tighten all six sets of hardware.

    • At this point leave the Door/Web Roll tied off and held in place as it comes.

    • The Track Transition Bracket mounts to the Inside of the tab of the Header Assembly Mounting Bracket.

    • It is important to insert the Carriage Bolt from the inside of the Transition Bracket and the Washer and Hex Nut on the outside of the Header Bracket.

    • The Track must be plumb before securing it to the Mounting Surface.

  8. The Track assembly mounts to the Inside of the Header Assembly Mounting Bracket.
    • The Track assembly mounts to the Inside of the Header Assembly Mounting Bracket.

    • From the inside of the Track, Insert the Carriage Bolt fully through the Square hole.

    • Move the Track to the Inside of the Header Bracket, then push the Bolt through the Square hole in the Tab.

    • Slide the Washer onto the Bolt from the outside of the Header Bracket.

    • Then snug the Hex Nut on the Bolt.

  9. Remove the Black Plastic Plugs from the Track front.  These are Mounting access Holes.
    • Remove the Black Plastic Plugs from the Track front. These are Mounting access Holes.

    • Use a Level to Plumb the Track and Transfer the Mounting Hole locations onto the Mounting Surface.

    • Remove the Track, and Prepare these locations for Hardware Appropriate to the Building Material.

    • Most Materials will Require Pre-Drilling Holes to Accept the Necessary Hardware.

    • With the Track Assembly Reinstalled and “Hanging” in this position, Plumb the Track to make sure it is Vertically Aligned.

    • Secure the Tracks to the Wall with Hardware Appropriate for your Mounting Surface Material.

    • Replace Plastic Caps.

  10. Insert the Long Bolt
    • Insert the Long Bolt

    • through the Bottom Front hole in the Hoist

    • through the Mounting Bracket Hole

    • Loosely Secure these with a Lock Washer and Nut.

    • Slide the Hoist Assembly onto the Drive Shaft with a Shaft Key.

    • Install a Hex Bolt through the Mounting Bracket Slot

    • into the End of the Door's Bottom Spreader Bar.

    • Fully Tighten the Lock Washer and Nut.
