THE TOOLS YOU WILL NEED

• 1 Phillips screwdriver

• safety glasses
• fine sandpaper (used to smooth edges after trimming).
  

Door Parts Location

1. Measure the Door Opening
   36” x 80” door: The finished opening of your doorway should be a maximum of 36” wide and 80” high.
   48” x 80” door: The finished opening of your doorway should be a maximum of 48” wide and 80” high.
   The Express One Plus door height cannot be altered or trimmed.

2. Install the Top Track
   Cut the top track 1/8” shorter than the width of the opening.
   Position the top track on the top of the door opening so that it is straight and centered.
   After making a pilot hole (with a nail or a 3/32” drill bit), drive a 1” track screw through the screw hole nearest the center of the track. Do not tighten. (Tape may be used to hold the track in place while you mark and drill.)

3. Install the Handles
   Tap the two handle attachment pins into one handle, then fit the pins through the door panel holes. Press the other handle onto the pins.
   If necessary, you may back one handle with a solid object and tap the other handle alternately over each pin area until the handles are seated. Do not strike the middle of either handle.
   

4. Install the Door Panels
   Apply track lubricant to each top glide. Swing one end of the overhead track out of the door opening to accept the top glides. Decide if you want the door to open from the left or the right, then slide all top glides onto the track. Stack the panels together near the center screw.

5. Secure the Top Track Swing the track back to its original position. After making screw pilot holes (with a nail or a 3/32” drill), drive the 1” track screws through all track holes. Set all screws as straight and tight as possible to assure smooth operation of the door.

5. Secure the Anchor Panel Use the closure channel to measure and align the channel clips. Align the channel on the non-opening side of the door jamb. Make sure the channel is plumb. Mark each of the five closure channel screw holes and remove the closure channel. Make pilot holes (with a nail or a 3/32” drill bit) and install the channel clips loosely, using five of the 1” roundhead screws. Align the clips vertically and fully secure the screws. Press the door anchor panel onto them until it snaps into place.
   

6. Secure the Closure Channel
   Align the closure channel on the opening side of the door jamb. Make sure the channel is plumb. Mark each of the five screw holes (as above). If necessary, cut the channel to match the door size. Make pilot holes in door jamb (with a nail or a 3/32” drill bit) and install the closure channel, using five of the 1” flathead screws.
   

Double Door Installation

1. Measure the Door Opening
   36” x 80” Double doors: The finished opening of your doorway should be a maximum of 72” wide and 80” high.
   48” x 80” Double doors: The finished opening of your doorway should be a maximum of 96” wide and 80” high.
   The Express One Plus door height cannot be altered or trimmed.
   Divide the width of the opening by two. Cut each overhead track to this measurement so that when installed, the tracks butt against one another in the center of the door opening.
   It is also acceptable to use one track if it will fit your opening.

2. Install One Top Track
   On a center line drawn across the top of the door opening, install either half track and install all screws in the half track. Refer to single door step. If using a single track, use one center screw.

3. Install the Door Handles
   Tap the two handle attachment pins into one handle, then fit the pins through the door panel holes. Press the other handle onto the pins.
   If necessary, you may back one handle with a solid object and tap the other handle alternately over each pin area until the handles are seated. Do not strike the middle of either handle. Repeat with other handle.

4. Install the Door Panels
   Apply track lubricant to each top glide. Install the two doors in the half track with lead edges facing each other. If necessary install the second track and push one door onto this track. Set a track screw at the track center joint and leave the screw projecting down 1/2” to prevent glides from passing the joint.

5. Secure the Anchor Panels
   Use the closure channel to measure and align the channel clips. Align the channel on one of the door jambs.
   Make sure the top of the channel is plumb. Mark each of the five closure channel screws holes and remove the closure channel. Make pilot holes (with a nail or a 3/32 drill bit) and install the channel clips loosely, using five of the 1” roundhead screws. Align the clips vertically and fully secure the screws. Press the door anchor panel onto them until it snaps into place. Repeat on the other side of the door jamb.

6. Install the Closure Channel
   Align the closure channel on the lead edge of one door so that it is plumb with the top and bottom of the door. Mark each of the five screw holes on the lead edge and drill five pilot holes with a 3/32” bit. Secure the closure channel using five 1” flathead screws.
