INSTALLATION GUIDE 1. Setup a) Use a chalk line to trace a line on the floor across the door opening on both sides of the wall. 2. Prepare frame a), b), c) a) Lay down Hinged Gap Jamb Assembly (A) with gap jambs on the floor. b) Lift cross pieces in upright position perpendicular to gap jamb starting from the bottom and moving up (1, 2 then 3 as shown in drawing to the right). c) Attach the 2 Detachable Cross Pieces (F) by inserting the protruding screws into the keyhole bracket and locking in place.
d) Lay the Spine (C) between the cross pieces resting on top of the female component. Make sure the ends of the male components line up with the markings on the spine and the bumper on the spine is facing down. d) e) Screw the male components to the Spine (C) using the 8x 30mm Flathead Screws (N) provided.
3. Adjust the pocket door frame to the appropriate width a) a) Cut the tape holding the female and male cross pieces so they can slide freely one inside the other. b) Stand the door frame up with the bottom plates on the ground.
c) 4. Gently pull each cross piece until the frame has expanded to the exact width of the door slab. Measure from the inside of the spine to the outside of the gap jamb. c) Cut the adjustable header a) Lay the header on its flat side. Position your saw on the mark indicating the proper door width and cut off the removable gap jambs. ENSURE THE SAW DOES NOT TOUCH THE METAL TRACK. Remove any staples sticking out with cutters. a) b) Flip over the header.
5. Set the header onto the frame a) Line‐up the slits on the header with the metal stiffeners on the door frame. The metal stiffener should fit into the slots. DO NOT ATTACH SPINE TO HEADER 6. Assemble the pocket door frame to the doorway a) Place the assembled door frame and header into the door opening. Use a level to ensure the header is flush; shim as needed. Insert 2 1/2” wood screws through the pre‐drilled holes in the header and fasten to the rough opening header.
9. Place hangers in track a) Slide the assembled hangers into the track, ensuring the track is clean and free of debris. 10. Install the door a) Insert the hanging bolt into the door hanger plates, starting with the one nearest to the pocket door frame. b) Using the supplied wrench, adjust the bolt until the door reaches its proper height. c) It is recommended that the door be placed inside the frame instead of the door opening to facilitate adjustment of the hanger wheels.
13. Install the door stops a) Using finishing nails, install the stops over the header gap jamb and gap jambs in locations as shown. 14. Install door guides a) Using the 19mm screws provided, attach the guides to the door stops, at the bottom of the opening. Adjust so the door is centered in the opening. Alternatively, the guides can be placed under the door stops. However, the space required for the guides would have to be removed from the stop.
