SINGLE SWINGING DOOR KIT: READ BEFORE YOU

BEGIN

The single 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 door to the

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).

1. Assemble door frame (#102923), place it on a flat surface, and attach three (3) hinges (FA5030) using Tek screws.

Evenly space hinges along side of the frame. See diagram below.

2. Select the corrugated panel (104620C) and trim it so that the length is approximately one-quarter inch (1/4")

shorter than the length of the door frame. (This helps protect the edges of the polycarbonate panel.)

3. Position the panel on the door frame so that a panel valley is placed over (or near) the door latch hole of the frame

as shown below. (Trim panel width–both edges if necessary–to align valley with door latch hole.) Mark the door

latch hole position on the corrugated panel, drill a 3/4" hole in the panel at that mark, set the panel aside, and

install the door latch as described in the diagram below and in the following step.

4. Center the latch mounting plate over the door frame hole, mark the bolt holes, and drill two 5/16" holes through
