Vertical Lift Track
Vertical lift tracks are built as one piece or as two
pieces per side, depending on door height. Follow
the vertical track information (Step 1, page 15) for
the lower part of the track, from the floor to the top
of the door.
Starting at the top of the door, plumb one track
and lag or screw it to the wall all the way up.
Measure the width of the tracks at the top of the
door and set the very top of the second vertical
track at the exact same distance. Finish fastening
the center of the vertical track, making sure the
distance between the tracks is equal from the top
of the door on up. Install top section to other
sections. (FIG. 9-S, page 12)
Attach the bearing plates as shown in Figure 13-T.
See spring winding information, page 19 for
installing and winding springs.
IMPORTANT: Do not cut cables. It may seem
like the cables are too long, but they are not. Wind
the extra cable onto the drums.
All vertical lift doors must be sway braced as
in Figure 13-T.
Door may fall out of track if the track is
improperly aligned.
Attach spring bumpers as shown in Figure 14-T.
They will keep door from coming out of top of the
track. Position bumpers so that door clears the
opening and drill in place using
5
/16" x 1" hex head
bolts to fasten.
Door may come out of track if spring bumper
is not installed.
Push lower vertical track towards jambs until door
is tight against stop or steel jambs and tighten
track bolts. Adjust the bottom of the upper vertical
track to align with the top of the lower vertical
track and tighten the track bolts.
Adjust top brackets. (FIG. 9-S, page 12) Install
inside slide lock or lock bars after springs are
wound. (FIG. 7-S & 8-S, page 12) Nail door stop
in place if applicable.
