6. Roll the initial panel back-and-forth within the frame to check for
any rubbing issues and alignment of head panel blocks (if applicable).
Adjust as needed before the installation of next panel(s).
7. Identify the next panel to be installed. Position the panel in front of
the door frame, so that it overlaps the previously installed panel by
50%. (This is done to ensure proper alignment of panel interlocks).
8. Tilt the head of the door panel inward until it aligns with the track in
front of the previously installed panel.
Panel Adjustment
Panels should be adjusted, so they do not drag on the track or hit the
head panel blocks at the top. Each panel has two rollers that can be
adjusted by inserting a Phillips head screwdriver through the adjustment
port on the exterior face of each panel.
NOTE: Remove the plugs from the lower face of the panel to gain access
to the adjustment screws.
1. Insert screwdriver (DO NOT USE
A POWER DRIVER) into the roller
adjustment ports – located on the lower
exterior face of the panel(s).
2. Place a small pry bar or lift on the panel to
take weight off rollers beforeadjusting.
3. Turn adjustment screws clockwise to raise
the panel(s) or counterclockwise to lower
the panel(s).
4. Adjust panel(s) until grids are aligned,
interlocks engage correctly and operation
is acceptable.
5. Install vinyl cap over roller adjustment ports.
Adjust Lock Keeper
PANEL INSTALLATION (CONTINUED)
Lock keepers come “temporarily” fastened to the
door frame. Four 3-inch, at head fasteners are
needed to secure the keeper properly. Fasteners must
be long enough to penetrate the buck or structural
framing of the building.
1. After the rollers have been
adjusted the locking action can
be evaluated and adjusted if
needed.
2. For lock keepers that attach
to the door frame side jamb
– keepers can be moved up or
down and may be shimmed
away from the jamb. Once
adjusted, secure keeper to
frame jamb with 4 appropriate
fasteners (based on the
substrate). Refer to the Product
Approval Document.
3. For lock keepers attached to
the astragal (bi-parting door
systems only), the keeper can be
moved up or down and may be
shimmed away from the astragal.
The keeper will come installed
with the correct length and sized screw.
9. Lift the panel up to engage the head track. Then swing the door
panel bottom inward to align with the corresponding roller track.
10. Lower the panel down onto the roller track. Ensure the rollers are
centered on the track.
11. Slide the panel to the position within the door frame where it would
be if the door was closed and locked.
12. If head panel blocks are included, make a mark on the frame head
jamb next to the edge(s) of the panel (suggest using a pencil or
tape). Roll panel out of the way. Refer to Sub Section - Head Panel
Blocks - Astragal.
13. Align the end of the block with the line on the head jamb. Pre-drill
holes for fasteners.
14. Secure block to head jamb with two appropriate type fasteners
(based on the substrate). Refer to the Product Approval
Document. Ensure to shim above the door frame at each panel block
location to avoid frame rotation.
NOTE: All panels, other than panels that make contact with the hook
strip(s), will need a total of 2 head panel blocks – one above each corner.
(PG60, 4' 0" x 10' 0", panels will need a third block centered along the
head of the panel).
15. Roll panel back into position and double-check panel head block for
proper alignment and/or rubbing issues and ensure all panels interlock
correctly. Adjust as needed before installing the nextpanel.
16. Apply weatherstrip pads to the head and sill tracks where the
panels overlap. Refer to Sub Section - Weatherstrip
Pad Installation.
17. Repeat the steps above for the remaining panels.
