Table of ContentsSINGLE SLIDING DOOR KIT: READ BEFORE YOU BEGIN

The single sliding door kit is designed to attach to any of these end frame kits: GS05KEW20G72, GS05KEW24G72, GS05KEW30G72 and GS05KEW35G72. These instructions and the instructions for the end frame are written to be used together.

Install the end wall framing before you install the door frame. Consider the positions of fans, vents, and other accessories before you install the door frame.

Door must not block or interfere with the operation of building accessories.

If you are installing this door kit in an end frame that is not identified above, use these instructions for critical dimensions and details.

Consult the services of a qualified contractor if needed. It is the responsibility of the owner/contractor to adapt these instructions to safely and competently install this door in an end frame or building that it was not designed for.

Complete these steps to begin and to install the door:

1. Based on the dimensions of the door (or doors), determine where you can position the door in the end frame. Use the diagrams from both this manual and the end wall assembly guide.

2. Secure the door framing to the end wall framing.

3. Assemble 102923 door frame and door and attach assembled door to end wall. NOTE: If you purchased a fabric end panel to cover the end, install the panel before you install the door; then remove the panel material as needed to allow for the installation of the door. If you purchased a poly carbonate end wall package (8 mm twin-wall or corrugated), install those panels after installing door frame and before installing the door. IMPORTANT: Consult the stay roller installation steps before installing end wall polycarbonate panels.

Stay Roller AssemblyASSEMBLE AND ATTACH STAY ROLLERS

1. Locate the 100356 stay roller and remove the roller, bushings, bolt, and nuts.

2. Secure the angle bracket in the lower-right corner of the assembled door frame as shown below. Allow clearance under bracket to attach stay roller.

Reattach the stay roller and related parts to the angled bracket attached to the end wall frame.

NOTE: Do not tighten the stay roller at this time. It is adjusted and tightened when the door is installed.

ATTENTION: Stay roller assembly is attached to the door jamb on the same side the door is on when in the open position. For illustration purposes, the following diagrams show the stay roller attached to the right side.

ATTENTION: After installing the stay roller, install the end wall cladding (polycarbonate panels or fabric panel). The polycarbonate panels of any end wall PC package must be installed before you install the sliding door assembly.

Sliding Door Track AssemblyATTACH DOOR TRACK Gather the parts:

• FAK26 3/8" threaded rod, FALB04B 3/8" nuts, FAME18B 3/8" SS flat washers, FAMA38B lock washers, and FAME52B 3/8" flat washers

• FA4484B Tek screws and 102921B neo-bonded washers

• 100377 door track and 100380 hanger bracket for door track

Complete these steps to install the slider door track (100377). Complete only those steps that apply to the type of end wall polycarbonate (8mm twin-wall or corrugated) that covers the end frame.

1. Review diagram below for the slider track position. Track typically extends 1"-2" past the outer edge of the doorjamb. Space the three (3) track hanger brackets (100380) evenly along the slider track. ATTENTION: Install hangers in a position so the mounted track is above the top of the door header. Add another end wall horizontal tube if needed to correctly mount the slider track. Door opening is smaller than the actual sliding door frame to prevent door from pushing into the opening. The position of the sliding door frame when installed and closed will align with the header and doorjambs of the end wall door frame.

2. Mark bracket positions on end wall cladding. Space brackets evenly along the length of slider track. For corrugated panels, drill 7/16" mounting holes in the valleys of the panels. Shift brackets left or right as needed. Drill one 7/16" hole through the end wall cladding and steel tube framing for each bracket. Drill holes level and straight through the tube to mount the brackets and track properly. See diagrams below and on the next page. For twin-wall polycarbonate panels, first drill a 1" hole through the twin-wall panel only at bracket mount position, then drill the 7/16" mounting hole through the end wall frame tube. This allows the mounting nuts and washers to directly contact end wall frame without crushing the twin-wall polycarbonate panels. See diagrams below and on the next page. Before you install track bracket, fill hole in polycarbonate panel using customer-supplied sealant.
