NOTE: Refer to door section identification, located in the pre-installation section of this
manual or refer to Parts Breakdown.
NOTE: The graduated end and center hinges can be identified by the number stamped onto
their lower hinge leaf.
NOTE: The #1, #2, #3, #4 graduated end hinges (Wide body) serves as end hinges on all
sections, except for the top section.
NOTE: The #1 Center hinge(s) (Narrow body) serves as center hinges on all sections, except
for the top section.
Locate the bottom section, (2) #1 graduated end hinges (wide body) for the end stiles and
depending on the width of your door, enough #1 center hinge(s) (narrow body) for each of
the pre-marked center hinge locations. Starting on the left hand side of the bottom section,
align the lower hinge leaf of the #1 graduated end hinge over the holes, located at the top
of the end caps. Also, align the lower hinge leafs of the #1 center hinges (narrow body) with
the pre-marked locations at the center locations at the top of the section. Attach lower hinge
leafs to the section using 1/4” - 14 x 7/8” self drilling screws, as shown.
IMPORTANT: ONCE THE 1/4” - 14 X 7/8” SELF DRILLING SCREWS ARE SNUG AGAINST THE
LOWER HINGE LEAFS, TIGHTEN AN ADDITIONAL 1/4 TO 1/2 TURN TO RECEIVE MAXIMUM
DESIGN HOLDING POWER.
IMPORTANT: PUSH & HOLD THE HINGE LEAF SECURELY AGAINST THE SECTION WHILE
SECURING WITH 1/4” - 14 X 7/8” SELF DRILLING SCREWS. THERE SHOULD BE NO GAP
BETWEEN THE HINGE LEAF AND THE SECTION.
Place a short stem track roller into each graduated end hinge. Repeat graduated hinge
attachment using the appropriate graduated end hinges for all remaining sections except the
top section.
IMPORTANT: WHEN PLACING SHORT STEM TRACK ROLLERS INTO THE #2 GRADUATED
END HINGES AND HIGHER, THE SHORT STEM TRACK ROLLER GOES INTO HINGE TUBE
FURTHEST AWAY FROM SECTION.
Use (2) #2 graduated end hinges (wide body) and the required number of #1 center hinge(s)
(narrow body) for each of the center hinge pre-marked location(s) along the top edge of the
lock section (second section).
Use (2) #3 graduated end hinges (wide body) and the required number of #1 center hinge(s)
(narrow body) for each of the center hinge(s) (narrow body) pre-marked location(s) along the
top edge of the intermediate I section (fourth section).
Use (2) #4 graduated end hinges (wide body) and the required number of #1 center hinge(s)
(narrow body) for each of the center hinge pre-marked location(s) along the top edge of the
intermediate II section (fifth section).
Use (2) #5 graduated end hinges (wide body) and the required number of #1 center hinge(s)
(narrow body) for each of the center hinge pre-marked location(s) along the top edge of the
intermediate III section (sixth section).
Use (2) #6 graduated end hinges (wide body) and the required number of #1 center hinge(s)
(narrow body) for each of the center hinge pre-marked location(s) along the top edge of the
intermediate IV section (seventh section).
