IMPORTANT NOTES
• DIMENSIONS ARE REFERENCED FROM THE EDGE OF THE OPENING.
• FOR CRITICAL FITS DUE TO REDUCED AVAILABLE HEADROOM OR SIDEROOM CLEARANCES, CONSULT FACTORY.
STEP 1: WALL OPENING
- Check the wall opening width and height and verify these measurements against the size of the door to be installed.
- Verify that jambs are plumb.
- Check floor and header for level.
- Check for adequate side clearance at jambs and clearance above and at the sides of the header. Check vertical and horizontal headroom requirements. See Figures 2 & 3 for minimum requirements.
- Verify that the guide mounting surface on the jamb is flush.
- Make sure all parts required for installation are with the door.
STEP 2: POSITION DOOR & PARTS
- Verify floor area is clean in order to prevent damage to the curtain.
- Inside the building, place the left guide on the floor perpendicular to the opening with guide bottom close to the left jamb and the top toward the inside of the building. Repeat the step to the right side.
- Place the door on the floor at top of and between guides. Rotate the door as necessary to locate the bottom bar against the floor. See Figure 5.
- Distribute hardware parts to appropriate areas.
STEP 3: GUIDES TO BRACKET POSITIONING
- At the tensioner end of the door, lift the flange on the tensioner pawl until the end of the pawl clears the tensioner ratchet wheel. Rotate the bracket in order to position the short leg end upwards. Release the flange on pawl and allow the end to engage with the nearest tooth on the tensioner ratchet wheel.
SNAP – ON BRACKET INSTALLATION
- Bring the top end of the guide in alignment with the bracket and insert tabs on the bracket into tab slots in the guide. (Figure 7)
- Slide the bracket and guide together until the locking tab in the guide fully engages a notch in the bracket.
- If the locking tab does not fully engage with the bracket notch, use a hammer and punch to bend the tab into the bracket notch.
- Repeat the above steps for the non-tensioner bracket guide. The bracket will require being held in position.
NOTE:
- FOR PANTHEON JSS INSTALLATION GUIDE, SEE PAGE 13 &14.
