Assembly Instructions
Step 1: Mount Backer Board
The track system that allows the door to slide open will need to be mounted on a backer board for added security. This isn’t included in the kit.
A 1×4 or 1×6 board of solid wood that is the same length as the door’s track should do the trick. Before mounting, paint the backer board your desired color.
Make sure the board is attached to studs above the door opening to account for the heigh of the rollers. The track will be 1 ¾” above the top of the door frame. There must be ½” clearance between the door and the floor.
Make sure you measure twice before installing and make sure it is level!
Step 2: Install Hangers
Position hangers on front center of stile, (min. 2” from the edge of the door, equal on each side).
Mark holes & pre-drill 3/8” holes. Secure hangers.
Step 3: Mounting the track and install stops
Bust out your level; once you have double checked that the track is level on the backing board, install the track to the backing board.
Position center of the track by measuring up from the floor, the door’s height plus 1 ¾”. Use lag bolts to install the track into the wood header & wall. Use a wrench to secure the screws through the spacer.
Insert stops on either side of track, inside the first and last hole. Align spacers with the holes in the track.
Step 4: Install anti-jump discs
Position each anti-jump disc at least 1” from the edge of the hangers. Tighten slightly to secure in place.
Step 5: Hang the door
Place the assembled door onto the secured track. Tighten the anti-jump discs. Slide the door back and forth to ensure all parts are operating smoothly. Secure stops in desired positions with the allen wrench.
Step 6: Installing floor door guide (Optional)
If you plan on using the door guide, first mortise a groove 1⁄4” wide by 3⁄4” deep into the bottom center of the door’s edge.
Once the door is plumb, place the floor door guide inside the groove and line it up close to the door opening. Slide the door from open to close to insure it is in working order. Mark holes with a pencil. Pre-drill 1/4” holes. If mounting into a concrete floor, use the provided anchors.
