DRYWALL WALL
PREPARATION
When installing into drywall, a piece of 5 1/2" x 7/8"
solid wood blocking is required to be mounted to the
wall before proceeding with the track installation.
Blocking to be length of the track or longer.
Position the solid wood blocking with track by
measuring up from the door height (H) + 1 3/4" to the
center of the track. Also ensure a gap of 3/8" - 1/2" at
the bottom. Lastly, ensure the solid wood blocking is
level and leave a minimum of 2" from the end of the
blocking to the side of the opening
(as shown).
If installing with an opening for 80" standard door size,
remove the top trim and cut the side trim horizontally
along the height of the opening.
Paint or stain the wood blocking to your desired finish.
