DOUBLE SLIDING DOOR KIT: READ BEFORE YOU

BEGIN

The double 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 door frame and door and attach the

assembled door to the door frame of the 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 polycarbonate package (8mm

twin-wall or corrugated), install those panels after

installing the door frame and before installing the

door.

IMPORTANT: Consult the stay roller installation

steps before installing the end wall polycarbonate

panels.

ASSEMBLING THE DOOR FRAME COMPONENTS

Consult the diagrams at the back of these instructions before you begin. Assistance is required to assemble the door

frame and door. The following steps describe one way to assemble the door frame and door.

1. Using the dimensions on the Door Frame Layout diagram (Quick Start Section), determine the positions of the

doorjambs.

2. Dig 8"-10" diameter holes at the locations found in previous step to a depth that is below the geographic frost line.

Minimum depth: 24".

3. Using the rough door opening dimensions and the door frame components, assemble and install the door frame.

See diagram below.

4. Square door frame and secure doorjambs in holes using concrete. Verify door frame dimensions before you

secure jambs in concrete. Doorjambs must be plumb for proper door operation.

5. Once door frame is attached to end wall framing, assemble the door. Consult the procedures on the next few

pages for your door (twin wall or corrugated polycarbonate).

Reattach the roller and related parts to the angled bracket

attached to the end wall frame.

NOTE: Do not tighten the roller assembly 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 roller assembly attached to the right side.

Assemble with the

two brass bushing

on the underside of

the roller.

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. Complete the

installation of all polycarbonate panels at this time

for these kits: GS05KCC2072 and GS05KCT2072,

GS05KCC2472 and GS05KCT2472, GS05KCC3072

Sliding Door Track Assembly

ATTACH DOOR TRACK

Gather the parts:

• FAK26 3/8" threaded rods, 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 tracks and 100380 hanger brackets for door track

Complete these steps to install the slider door tracks (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. Space the five (5) track hanger brackets (100380) evenly along

the slider track with one in the center at the joint between the two slider tracks.

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 doors from pushing into the opening when closed.

The position of the sliding door frames when installed and closed will align with the header and doorjambs of the

end wall door frame.

Sliding Door Track Assembly

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.
