from both ends)
Fig 2b
FOR EXAMPLE:
If the finished opening W
bot
= 59”,
then 59“- 3/4” = 58-1/4”
(cut 3/8” from each end)
Finished cut length “L” will = 58-1/4“
Note that this is only an example
and the actual cut-off amount will
vary based on the actual finished
opening dimension.

The Bottom Guide Rail (#15) needs to be cut equally from both ends to keep the center guide
holes centered. (The Bottom Guide Rail (#15) has been precut for the model size. See Table A).
Using a miter saw or hack saw, cut the Bottom Guide Rail (#15) 3/4” shorter than the bottom
