DOOR GRID ASSEMBLY

1.) Doors should be assembled in a flat area. The horizontals are to be equally spaced. The number required per door and spacing is shown in table. The inside face of the door frame should be assembled first.

 

2.) After laying out the horizontal members, locate and drill two (2) 17/32 minimum diameter holes in the top horizontal. Locate each trolley hole at dimension "A" from the end and 1" from the inside face. See chart above for recommended dimension.

3.) With the top, intermediate and bottom horizontals properly fitted and spaced in the verticals, secure the grid at each of the four corners using one (1) #8 self-drilling, self-tapping fastener. The fastener should be located in the extruded pilot groove as shown Fig. 3
