INSTALLATION GUIDELINES FOR HORIZONTAL SLIDERS

BEFORE YOU INSTALL YOUR FRANK DOOR, PLEASE REVIEW THESE BASIC GUIDELINES

1. All doors must be inst alled on plumb walls. Any walls out of plumb will require that the door frames be
shimmed back to plumb. All door frames must be inst alled plumb and square to insure proper operation
and warranty .

2. All headers and side casings should be securely fastened to the wall that they are inst alled on.

3. Doors mounted on insulated panels should have backup headers and side casings to help strengthen the
opening.

4. Doors mounted on very tall panel walls will require support steel to be added to the wall around the door
opening. Support steel, if required, is to be supplied and specified by others.

5. Check that the inside of the steel header track is free of any debris that may impede the travel of the
wheel assemblies

before

operating door.

6. The exterior and interior edges of headers and side casings should be caulked with silicone to prevent
any moisture migration behind the components that may cause frost or sweating.

POWER OPERATED HORIZONTAL SLIDERS

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD ANY CHANGES BE MADE TO THE WIRING OF THE
OPERA TOR OR THE DOOR. IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS, ALW AYS CONTACT THE FAC-

TORY. F AILURE T O DO SO WILL VOID THE DOOR’S WARRANTY .

1. Always consult and comply with all local electrical codes. Ensure that the licensed electrician is aware of
the voltage and amperage requirements of the door and uses the proper size wire and power supply .

All
freezer doors should be supplied with an uninterrupted and separate power supply for the anti­frost heaters.

2. Overhead pull switches which activate the power operator should be positioned far enough away from
the door opening to allow the door to be in the full open position before any vehicle arrives at the opening.
Doing so will help prevent damage to the door panel.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE FOR MANUAL/ELECTRIC HORIZONTAL SLIDERS

01. Check & inspect all crates for damage (see Fig. 1). Freight company is responsible for any damage.
Purchaser should file claims with freight company immediately .

02. ALL DOORS & DOOR FRAMES MUST BE INST ALLED PLUMB & SQUARE T O ENSURE PROPER
OPERA TION & WARRANTY V ALIDA TION. V erify that walls are plumb (see Fig. 2A, 2B & 2C). Any walls out
of plumb will require that door frames be shimmed back to plumb. Af ter it has been established that walls
are plumb, installation of side casings, header & door can begin.

03. Place side casings on wall & ensure that inside edge of each casing is flush with sides of door opening
(see Fig. 3). Att ach each front casing to wall by inserting screws (provided) into each pre-drilled hole (see
Fig. 4). If there are backup casings, use carriage bolts (provided).

Note: Care should be taken when

installing heated casings so as not to damage heater wires.

04. Place header with track assembly on top of side casings (see Fig. 5A). On biparting header , center the
header over the opening. Verify that header is level (see Fig. 5B). Attach header to wall with lags or carriage
bolts (provided) into each pre-drilled hole spaced evenly along length of header . Make sure that lags are
placed ABOVE track assembly so that gasket on back of door has free travel (see Fig. 5C & attached
drawing). Place one lag or carriage bolt near bottom of header on each end (see Fig. 5D).

Note: Care

should be taken when installing heated headers so as not to damage heater wires.

05. Remove lower nut & two washers on each roller assembly bolt located in header track (see Fig. 6). DO
NOT REMOVE METAL PLA TES THA T LOCK THE ROLLER ASSEMBLIES TO THE HEADER TRACK!
REMOV AL OF MET AL PLA TES A T THIS TIME MA Y RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY.

06. Carefully set bottom of door next to bottom of casings & lift door to its upright position (see Fig. 7A).
Place roller assembly bolts into slots of corner door brackets (see Fig. 7B & 7C).

07. Install lock washers & nuts to roller assembly bolts (see Fig. 8A & 8B). Remove metal plates that lock
roller assemblies to header track by loosening nuts (see Fig. 8C). Discard metal plates.

08. Raise or lower door by adjusting roller assembly bolts (see Fig. 9A ) to create a good seal between
bottom sweep & floor.

09. After correct door height adjustment has been made, slightly tighten locking nuts on the roller assembly
bolts (see Fig. 10).

10. With door in closed position, set the trailing edge stay roller(s) on floor & position as follows: Stay
roller(s) should make contact with the bottom skidbar (see Fig. 1 1). Adjust as necessary for proper seal.
Secure stay roller(s) with anchor bolts (provided).

THIS STEP IS CRITICAL!

between door gaskets & header & side casings. Open door(s) approximately one-quarter into door open­ing. Gasket at top of door should be approximately 1/8” from header (see Fig. 12). This dimension will
ensure a proper seal once door(s) is fully closed.

12. Close door(s) & check all four sides for proper seal. Adjust door as necessary. On biparting doors,
ensure that both panels are parallel to each other & that they close & seal with each other properly (see Fig.
13A). If door(s) does not seal properly , adjustments can be made by adjusting roller assembly bolts (see
Fig. 13B). After correct seal adjustment has been made, tighten locking nut s on roller assembly bolts (see
Fig. 13C). Tighten anchor bolt s on S tay Roller(s). Open & close door(s) to ensure smooth operation & to
verify that door(s) is properly sealed when in closed position.

After Stay Roller(s) has been properly inst alled, adjust door for proper seal

Note: Electric doors will be harder to open
& close to make adjustments but it is not necessary to disconnect the doors from the chain. Manu­ally open & close both panels at the same time for ease of operation.

13. With door in closed position, LE Hook Snubber on leading edge side of door (single sliders only) should
fit snugly into casing mounted “hook” (see Fig. 14). If necessary , adjust Hook Snubber on door by loosening
bolts & sliding it until it becomes snug. Tighten bolt s on LE Hook Snubber.

14. On biparting doors, open both panels to fully opened positions & ensure that Anti-Lift Devices do not
make contact with the header track. There should be approx. 1/8” clearance space between the Anti-Lif t
Devices & the header track when panels are fully opened (see Fig. 15).

15. If doors are fitted with an
install floor-mounted stop next to trailing edge side of door with anchor bolts provided (see Fig. 16).

16. If doors are fitted with an
parts box) on leading edge casing & underneath leading edge hanger bracket so that the plunger of the Lift
Device is fully depressed (see Fig. 17). Insert four lag bolts in
tighten. Open & close door to determine ease of door operation & to ensure that Lift Device is functioning
properly . If necessary , raise or lower the Lift Device plunger by turning bolt at bottom of plunger clockwise or
counterclockwise for optimal performance.

17. Caulk exterior, interior & bottom edges of side casings and header with silicone to prevent frost &
sweating.

18. FREEZER DOORS SHOULD BE SUPPLIED WITH AN UNINTERRUPTED & SEPARATE POWER
SUPPL Y. Ensure that licensed electrician is aware of voltage & amperage requirements of freezer door &
uses proper wire size and power supply . Always consult & comply with all local electrical codes.

19. SJ cord on freezer door should be routed to a 120-volt electrical box (not supplied) positioned at trailing
edge end of header.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR CONNECTING EMERGENCY DISCONNECT CABLE ON

POWER OPERATED HORIZONTAL SLIDERS

01. Manually slide door into position so that the chain disconnect is at the access hole in the trackhood.

02. Remove the access plate from the trackhood.

03. Carefully remove the duct tape from the top of the door panel (tape holds cable in place during shipping)

Note: DO NOT LOSE CABLE CRIMP OR LET CRIMP AND/OR CABLE FALL BACK INTO DOOR
PANEL

04. Place some tape on cable to prevent the crimp from sliding down the cable and into the door panel.

05. Ensure that the crimp is on the cable and thread the cable through the small hole (located on the discon­nect arm) and then through the crimp.

06. Pull cable snug.

07. Tighten the crimp and ensure that the cable is secured tightly .

08. Reinstall access cover on trackhood.
