Important Notes
The following installation steps take a 38inch track as an example. Please
refer to the [Number of Parts in Different Track Sizes] for the quantity of
accessories for different sizes of tracks
It is very important to determine whether you need to install a Header Board
before you install the track.
IF you meet the following situations, we highly recommend you using a Header Board.
- If the gap between each pre-drilled holes of the track you purchased is not 16″ (you can read the information about the gap between pre drilled holes in the Number of Parts and Information of Different Sizes).
- IF your wall studs are not 16″ on center which won’t line up with our rail
- IF your wall type is non-concrete wall, is drywall or other wall type(as this may not support the weight of the track and mounted door)
- IF there is a doorway trim
Header Board requirments:
1″x 4″ or 1″ x 6″ Size
Made of solid wood
Same length as your track length or longer
Attention: Header Board & the screws to install header board are not included. You can buy them online or offline.
Product Assembly
Step-1
a. Use a Level and Tape Measure to mark the center line of the track. As is
shown in part in the picture above, the height of the center line(measuring up
from the floor) is the height of your door PLUS 115/16”.
b. Position the track in place by the marked center line, ensuring it is
level, and use the track as a template to mark mounting holes location for the
track with a pencil
c. According to the marked track position, perpendicular to the track
horizontal line, mark the position of the axle centre line of the fixed axis
with a pencil. It is necessary that the distance from the axis line to the
first hole position shall more than 13/16″ to ensure that the hole positions of
the axle centre line and the holes of rail will not interfere with each other.
See installation tip below.
Make sure that the door can cover the door opening during rotation before
you mark the axle centre line.
Please choose the installation method for the track based on the type of your track accessories.

INSTALLATION TIP:
To mark the holes more conveniently, you could install track with one end bolt
without spacer, which helps fix one end of the track. And then you can move the
free end to ensure the track level to mark mounting holes.
Step-2
Drill the marked holes with drill bits. Notice: The hole size of the 2
walls are different.
A. Concrete Wall
Drill the holes with 3⁄8” drill bit| B. Drywall & Other Wall Type
Drill the pilot holes directly with the drill bit which is smaller than 7⁄32”

Step-3
We provide 2 kinds of screws for you to install rail onto concrete wall or
drywall.

A. Concrete wall Installation.
Install the anchor to holes on the concrete wall first, then insert lag bolt to
wall spacer and anchor.| B. Drywall Installation.
Insert the lag bolt to wall spacer and holes directly.
STEP-4
Installing BiFold butt hinges on the back for the doors
a) Lay the doors to be joined together face down on a flat surface.
b) Space the hinges approximately 10″-12″ down from the top and up from the
bottom of the doors. Install a hinge in the middle of the door.
c) Align the hinge knuckle parallel and directly over the joint between the
two doors. Using a drill bit, predrill the fastener holes.
d) Secure the hinges to the door with the supplied flathead screws
STEP-5
a) Measure 1 3/8” from the front edge of the door and scribe an intersecting
line 1 9/16” and 5 1/8” (=1 9/16”+ 3 9/16”) down from the top of the door for
the center hole position of the fasteners.
b) Drill 3/8” through holes in the door for the fasteners and drill 1/8” holes
on the top of the door for the top plate.
c) Mount the front mount top connector plates to the door with the supplied
screws, lag bolts and washers according to the pictures below
STEP-6
A. Determine pivot of the position of the Bottom Pivot Plate according to
the marked axle centre line in the Step-1
B. Install the Bottom Pivot Plate according to the pictures below.|
C. Using a bit, drill a hole and insert the brass sleeve.
The brass sleeve needs to align with the center of the top connector plate
used with the fixed roller.
