2. Check Structural Support
If there is not adequate support (i.e., blocking or head casing) for the weight and movement of the
door(s), then you must add structural support before attaching the track(s) and door(s) to the wall.
Follow these steps to add structural support to an unfinished or finished wall.
Important! All track systems must be attached to interior blocking or a head casing.

1. Determine which direction you wish to open the door and add, or install structural support in
that direction.
2. Check the length of the track(s) and determine the number of blocks you will need. Keep in
mind the suggested door-to-frame overlap of 1” per side for doors up to 54” and 2” overlap per
side for larger doors.
3. Cut the 2 x 6 block(s) to the correct length(s) between the wall studs.
4. Place the blocking at the appropriate height.
Note: Add two (2”) inches to the height of the door, this is the ideal center of the blocking.
5. Position the wide face of the blocking so it is flush with the front surface of the wall studs.
6. Securely fasten the blocking to the wall studs.
