DOUBLE SWINGING DOOR KIT: READ THIS BEFORE

YOU BEGIN

The double swinging door kit is designed to attach

to any of these end frame kits: GS05KEW20G72,

GS05KEW24G72, GS05KEW30G72 and

GS05KEW35G72.

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 to end wall.

NOTE: If you purchased a fabric end panel to cover

the end wall frame, 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 (8 mm

twin-wall or corrugated), install those panels after

installing the door(s).
