Door Parts Location
SINGLE DOOR INSTALLATION
Measure the Door Opening
- If the height of your door opening is approximately 96”, you will not need to alter the door itself. If the opening is less than 96” high, the door may be shortened by sawing off excess from the bottom of the door panels (end without holes).
- If the opening is less than 96” high: Stack the door panels together, secure with masking tape and cut with a hacksaw or fine tooth saw. Cut the overhead track 1/8” shorter than the width of the opening.
- Remove the masking tape.
- The width of the door cannot be altered.
Install the Top Track
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 3/32” drill bit),
drive a 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.)
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.
Install The Top Glides
Position one top glide over the center hole in the top of a full width door
panel and snap into place until secure. Repeat with remaining top glides. To
secure the T-style lead edge top glide, place the T shaped part inside the
lead edge and align the holes. Then insert the female section from the outside
hole through the hole in the T shaped glide through the other side of the lead
edge. Then insert the threaded male screw into the female part and tighten
until snug.
Install the Door Panels
Apply track lubricant to each top glide. Swing one end of the top 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
Secure The Top Track
Swing the track back to its original position. After making pilot holes (with
a nail or a 3/32”drill bit), drive the track screws through all track holes.
Set all screws as straight and tight as possible toensure smooth operation of
the door.
Secure The Anchor Panel
- Slide the entire door against the non-opening side of the doorway. With the door panel hanging naturally, locate the holes on the anchor panel where the door will be secured to the jamb.
- Using the drill, insert the screws and secure the end anchor panel to the jamb.
Install Magnetic Latch Striker Plate
Place the magnetic latch striker plate against the magnet on the lead edge.
Close the door until it strikes the door jamb. Mark the top and bottom
location of the striker plate on the jamb. Take the striker plate and align it
on the marked location. Secure to the jamb with two flathead screws.
Double Door Installation
Via doors can be used as a Double door but due to the magnets, there will be approximately a 0.25” gap when the doors are in the closed position.
-
Measure the Door Opening
Divide the width of the opening by two. Cut each top track to this measurement so that when installed, the tracks butt against one another in the center of the door opening. -
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. -
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. Repeat with the other handle. -
Install the Top Glides
Position one top glide over the center hole in the top of a full width door panel and snap into place until secure. Repeat with remaining top glides.
To secure the T-style lead edge top glide, place the T shaped part inside the lead edge and align the holes. Then insert the female section from the outside hole through the hole in the T shaped glide through the other side of the lead edge. Then insert the threaded male screw into the female part and tighten until snug. Repeat with the other door. -
Install Second Track and Door Panels
Apply track lubricant to each top glide. Install the two doors in the half track with lead edges facing each other. Then install the second track and push one door onto this track. Set a screw at the track center joint and leave the screw
projecting down 1/2” to prevent glides from passing the joint. -
Secure Anchor Panels
Slide one door against the door jamb. With the door panel hanging naturally, locate the holes on the anchor panel where the door will be secured to the jamb. Using the drill, insert the screws and secure the end anchor panel to the jamb. Repeat with the other door.
To close the doors, pull together until magnets latch
