Measure width and height of framed opening and
compare with dimensions given at the time of ordering.
See Figure 1, Page 2 for instructions on testing for a
Square, Level and Plumb Opening.
NOTE: The Durulite® XLD360 doors are constructed
using the dimensions given by the customer when
ordering and are not adapted to fit into a different
sized opening!
Framed openings must meet the dimensions given on
the order received by Chase Doors within the following
tolerances:
SINGLE PANELS
Height: +1/4” -1/4”
Width: +1/4” -1/4”
IMPORTANT: Contact the factory if the dimensions of
your opening do not match the dimensions used for
ordering your panels within the specified tolerances.
DO NOT Continue with installation!
IMPORTANT: ALL CHASE PRODUCTS MUST BE INSTALLED PLUMB AND LEVEL IN A SQUARE OPENING FOR PROPER OPERATION!

Checking for Square & Plumb Frame
You can check the Upper and Lower Corners of your opening with
a Framing Square, See Figure 1. If you do not have access to a
square then you can use what is commonly known as the “3, 4, 5
Method”.
To Perform the 3, 4, 5 Method (Refer to Figure 1):
Begin by measuring out horizontally from the corner and make a
slight mark at 3’ (Measurement # 1).
From the same corner measure down vertically and make a mark
at 4’ (Measurement # 2).
If the Frame is Square then the measurement between the two
marks (Measurement # 3) will be 5’. If the measurement is not 5’,
then your frame is not square and your doors may not work
properly.

Measuring Your Frame
There are commonly 6 Points of Measurement to assure that your
frame is square, See Figure 3.
If any of these measurements vary by more than 1/4” the doors will
not work properly.
NOTE: The use of any shim material to correct your opening
may cause gaskets to not seal properly. Longer Gaskets may be
available, contact the factory for assistance.
F.F.L.
Figure 1- A
IMPORTANT: If you are installing double panels, it is extremely
important that the Jamb Guards be level with one another for
proper operation, see Figure 1 - B. Un-level floors may require
shims (provided) to be placed under one Jamb Guard.
Doors Must Be Installed Level
for Proper Operation!
Figure 1- B
If any of the conditions in Figure 2-A apply to your opening and
are out of tolerance by more than what is defined in Figure 2-B,
then you will have to rework or replace the frame before installing
Chase Doors.
Figure 3
F.F.L.
Before You Begin Installation
Remove door panel from container. Do NOT remove lumber that binds
the upper and lower hinges together at this time, See Figure 5 - Page 3.
Locate the Hardware Fasteners, Top Seal and Upper Hinge Template. If
any of these items are missing please contact the Customer Service
Department at Chase Doors.
Installing the Durulite XLD360
1)
Locate the Upper Hinge Template, See Figure 4-A. Fold Template
at 90° as indicated on the template. Place template in upper most
corner of Frame and center with jamb & header as shown in
Figure 4-B. Secure with tape. Place a center punch at the center
point of the circles indicated on the template and strike the center
punch with a hammer. Remove the template from the frame and
drill holes at the marks with the appropriate sized bit indicated on
the template.
NOTE: You may need to adjust
your template if there is a Fillet
Weld in the corner of the Jamb.
Measurements on template are
taken from the face of the Jamb
& the face of the Header.

Remove the fasteners from the
lower jamb guard and remove the
Lower Hinge system from the
panel.
NOTE: If the Upper Hinge
Assembly should come apart
before installation refer to page 4
for assistance in reassembling
the hinge. The hinge must have
all parts listed on page 4 to work
properly. If any part is damaged
or missing call the factory

the hinge assembly. Place the Jamb Guard on the floor at the
lower corner of the jamb, See Figure 6.
NOTE: If a flooring material is to be added later you will need
to make the proper vertical adjustments prior to marking and
drilling the mounting holes. Before marking and drilling holes
for mounting the hardware, double check opening height with
the opening height used when placing order. If there are any
variations your panels may not work properly. Please contact
factory for assistance if your opening differs from the opening
measurements used to order panels.
Center the Jamb Guard with the Jamb as seen in Figure 6.
Secure the Jamb Guard to jamb and floor with tape.
Use a Center Punch and Hammer to mark the center of the
mounting holes on the jamb as done in the previous step.
Check to see that the jamb guard has not moved before
marking each hole.

Mark the center point of the holes at the base of the jamb guard
for inserting floor anchors.
Remove Jamb Guard from jamb and set aside.
Use the same drill bit on the jamb as required in the previous step.
You will need a 3/8” Masonry Bit to drill for the Floor Anchors.

DESCRIPTION
Durulite XLD360
Care & Maintenance
The XLD360 Hinge was
designed to be Maintenance
Free.
Door panels may be washed
with detergent, either
sponged or sprayed on.
Dishwashing detergent mixed
with water at 1/50 works well.
For dirtier areas, commercial
cleaners can be used. On
white yellow or sand colored
doors bleach may be used to
remove difficult stains. In
areas where greasy or
extremely dirty conditions are
encountered, it may be
necessary to use a steam
pressure wash (use
detergent). Dry and apply a
plastic treatment such as
ARMOR-ALL, to the panel
and gaskets.
Wash the window area with
mild soap and dry with a soft
cloth. Do Not Use Solvents,
