Step 1 Review Product and Warnings

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.

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.

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.

Orient the slotted end of the Header Mounting Projection Bracket against the Mounting Surface.
Orient the flange outward.
Align the Bottom surface of the Header Mounting Bracket with the Horizontal line on the Mounting Surface.
Align the Outer edge of the Header Mounting Bracket with the Vertical line on the Mounting Surface.
Trace the slotted mounting slots onto the Mounting Surface.

Use two (2) people, and two ladders at minimum to Install the Roll Header Assembly.
Raise the Roll Header Assembly into place on the Projection Brackets.
Loosely tighten with three (3) sets of ¼-20 screws and hex nuts per side.
Do not fully tighten hardware until the Header Assembly Brackets are aligned with the Projection Bracket’s edges.
Check the Header Assembly for level, and make any necessary final adjustments.
Once aligned, fully tighten all six sets of hardware.
At this point leave the roll assembly 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.

Push a screw through the hole in the back surface from the inside of the Track.
Slip the Projection Bracket onto the 1/4-20 Screw, with the hole facing the Track, and then thread the nut, onto the screw.
The slotted end of the Projection Bracket will fasten to the Mounting Surface in a later step.
These Brackets should be Mounted so that their Flanges point Vertically (as shown).
Fully tighten the hardware for these brackets once they are aligned with the Track edges.
Re-install the Plug Caps into the hardware access holes on the front side of the Tracks.

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.
Then push the Carriage Bolt through the Header Bracket from the Inside.
Slide the Washer onto the Bolt from the outside of the Header Bracket , and snug the Hex Nut on the Bolt. (This Track Mount hardware will be removed in later steps.)

Plumb the Track Left to Right.
Transfer the Mounting Hole locations onto the Mounting Surface.
Remove the Track, and prepare these locations for Hardware appropriate to the Building Material.
Reinstall, snugly, the Track Mount Hardware. (It will be removed again in a later step.)
With the Track “hanging” in this position, Plumb the Track Left to Right.
Secure the Track Brackets to the Mounting Surface.
Tighten all of the Hardware Securely.

Remove the Track Mounting Hardware.
Re-Install the Hardware with the Side Seal Grommet under the Washer and Nut, then tighten Securely.
Affix the Hook and loop Material to the Header Bracket along the Top Edge of the Side Seal Material.
Fold and Secure the Side Seal Material to the Mounting Surface.
