Installation Instructions

These instructions cover the preparation of doors to be ﬁtted into a pocket that has the CS SofStop Track ﬁtted.

Read through the notes carefully before beginning as different mounting plate positions and set-ups may be required for different conﬁgurations.

Ensure rear activator is positioned correctly in the track BEFORE lining the wall.

IMPORTANT

The CS SofStop carriages require a clean track running surface free of any contamination or damage.

After installation but before lining, clean the full length

of the inside running surface of the track with a soft rag, then TAPE UP THE TRACK to ensure no dust or debris enter the track during building works.

Make sure no dirt, grit or aluminum swarf gets into the track. This could impair the smooth running of the carriages.

1 Activator positioning

Before mounting the track in the opening you will need to insert the front and rear activators into the track. Use the formula (right) to measure from the notched end of the track to the center of the activator. Only tighten one screw on the activator as this is an approximate position. Final position will be determined later.

If your door protrudes out of the pocket in the open

position you will need to take this distance away from the rear activator formula. (e.g. DW + 20¾” - 4”).

2 Prepare the door(s).

Drill holes in the positions as shown (below).

Screw both mounting plates to the door with

the plunger pins facing towards the edges of the door. Make sure they are placed exactly in the center of the door thickness.

At the bottom of the door, cut a groove to the

dimension and tolerance shown. Make it central of the door thickness and absolutely straight.

Fix the T-Guide to the ﬂoor so that it is not visible when

the door is in the pocket. The front edge of the T-Guide should sit ﬂush with the ﬁnal casings.

d) Before ﬁxing the carriage to the cassette, make sure it

has been pushed past the activator. Failure to do so will damage the pickup mechanism.

Secure the carriage to the cassette with the M5 pan head

machine screw. Tighten with a # 2 Phillips drive.

5 Hang the door(s).

Position the carriages in the

pocket opening approximately where the mounting plates on the door will be located when the door is in the closed position.

Slide the door over the T Guide

and into the pocket.

Align the mounting plates

with the hanger bolts of the carriages.

Raise the door up so that the round head of the wheel

hanger shaft lines up with the keyhole shaped hole in the mounting plate.

Depress the plunger using the wheel hanger shaft head

and slide sideways until it snaps into locked position. Repeat for the other carriage.

6 Adjust the door height.

When adjusting door height, the wrench should be

horizontal to the nut.

Use the small end of the wrench supplied to rotate the

hexagonal nut at the bottom of the carriage hanger shaft.

6 To raise door: Rotate wrench from left to right.

To lower door: Rotate wrench from right to left.

Note: The top of the hanger shaft screws into a self-

locking nut. If the hexagonal nut is turned counter clockwise too far, the shaft will become loose from the self-locking nut. If the turning resistance suddenly feels much easier, you have gone too far.

If you raise the door to the maximum height position,

the threaded bolt may contact ﬁxing screw heads. If required, remove hanger bolt from wheel and remove 2-3mm (1/8”) of thread.

7 Set ﬁnal activator positions.

a) Loosen the grub screw of the rear activator. Slide it

approximately 2” towards the track notch.

b) Hold the activator setting block inside the back stud and

gently open the door onto it. The activator will slide along the track into the correct position.

c) Close the door and remove the activator setting block.

Without moving the activator, tighten all four grub screws.

f) Open the door and remove the activator setting block.

Without moving the activator, tighten all four grub screws. The activators are now positioned.

Note: Some doors may still bump on the closing jamb

when closing. If this is a concern, a 3M clear dome stop (or similar) can be used.

approximately 2” towards the pocket.

e) Hold the activator setting block inside the closing

jamb and gently close the door onto it.

Removing the door(s) (for painting, repairs etc).

Fit the club end of the adjusting wrench over the hexagonal nut at the bottom of the hanger pin.

Use the extended part of the wrench to press down the

plunger pin that protrudes up from the mounting plate.

Once this plunger is fully depressed slide the wrench

sideways towards the plunger pin.

The whole carriage (including the shaft) will now

disengage from the mounting plate.

It is not always easy to slide the wrench sideways.

You may need to relieve the door’s weight by put ting a wedge between door and ﬂoor.

Mounting plates with stops: Remove the black plastic

stop that is tightly ﬁtted into the mounting plate by tapping it out in the direction shown using a hammer and drift.

8 Track stops.

Slide the track stop into the track via the carriage

removal notch and loosely tighten so that the track stop is still able to slide.

Use the door to push the track stop to where you

want the door to stop. Slide the door away and tighten the track stops using a hex key.
