Step 1: Rail Installation (figure 1 & 2) Note: DO NOT mount rail spacers directly onto drywall, even if there is solid wood behind. The rail spacers will eventually crush the drywall, potentially causing the rail system to fail. MOUNT RAIL SPACERS DIRECTLY INTO A SOLID WOOD HEADER 1. Location of center of the rail = Height of the door + 17/8” (figure 1) (this will leave approximately 3/8” gap between the floor and the bottom of the door) 2.
Step 2: Installing the Hardware on the Doors (Door thickness range = 1 3/8” -1 3/4”) Figure 3 1. Installing BiFold butt hinges on the back for the doors (figure 3) a) Lay the doors to be joined together face down on a flat surface. b) Butt the doors together with a 1/32” gap in between (approximate thickness of 3-4 business cards). c) Space the hinges approximately 10”-12” down from the top and up from the bottom of the doors.
b) Front Mount Hardware only (figure 5) • Measure 1-3/8” from the front edge of the door and scribe a vertical line 5-1/2” down from the top of the door (parallel with the side edge of the door). • Scribe an intersecting line 1-9/16” and 5-1/8” down from the top of the door for the center hole position of the fasteners. • Drill 3/8” through holes in the door for the fasteners and drill 1/8” holes on the top of the door for the top plate.
Step 3: Hanging the Doors on the Rail (figures 7, 8a, 8b, 8c) In order to determine the proper location for the bottom pivot plate, the doors must first be hung on the rail at the desired position in reference to the opening. (Door thickness range 1 3/8” - 1 3/4”) 1. Hang the fixed roller and the adjustable roller in the correct positions on the rails (figure 7). Figure 7 Fixed Roller Adjustable Roller 2.
5. To maintain this desired position on the rails, secure the fixed roller to the rail. a) Slide the fixed roller lock bracket onto the rail directly behind the set screw located on the front of the fixed roller (figure 9a). b) Using the supplied 2.5mm Allen wrench, tighten the set screws on the back of the fixed roller lock bracket (figure 9b). c) Lock the fixed roller onto the rail by tightening the 1” long set screw (using the 2.
Step 4: Installing the Bottom Pivot Plate The location of this bottom pivot plate is critical for the proper functioning of the Bi-Fold Barn Door. 1. Pull out the bottom of the door slightly and insert the bottom pivot plate (figure 10a) into the brass sleeve located in the bottom of the fixed position door, reposition the door. 2. Using a quality level, plumb the door and mark the position of the bottom pivot plate on the floor (front edge and outside edge - see figure 10b). 3.
Step 5: Reinstallation of the Fixed Pivoting Door 1. Replace the door on the bottom pivot plate. 2. Reengage the top connector plate onto the fixed roller and reinstall the set screw. Figure 11a Figure 11b Door Adjustment There is a hex adjusting nut on front of the adjustable roller which will adjust the height of the rolling door by approximately 3/16” (5mm) overall (see figure 11).
