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.
