First, determine if your sliding door system is a bi-parting wall mount system (BPWM) or
a one-sided wall mount system (OSWM). If it is an OSWM system, you will also need to
determine to which side of the doorway opening the track will be extended (above illustration shows right-side extension). If you are not sure of which system you have purchased, please refer to the model number indicated on the front cover of this booklet.
FOR SINGLE TRACK (ONE PIECE) SYSTEMS
1. For BPWM models only, mark the center of the doorway opening.
2. Mark the center of the straight track section.
3. Loosely attach all wall mount track connectors to the straight track section. All the
connector’s anchor hole tabs should be in the up or down position, depending on
which connectors were shipped.
4. Position the far left connector 4” from the left end of the track and position the far
right connector 4” from the right end of the track. Then, evenly distribute the remaining connectors across the straight track section and tighten all the connectors.
5. Connect three hinged trolley sections and slide the trolley sections into one end of
the straight track.
IMPORTANT
Carefully examine the carton(s) for damage.
If the carton is damaged, immediately notify the
shipping company.

6. Place the end stops at both ends of the track.
7. Take one P.V.C. strip and temporarily attach the strip to the threaded studs on the
hinged trolley sections.
8. Raise and level the track assembly above the doorway opening, aligning the center
point of the track with the center point of the doorway opening (BPWM models) or the
center point of the track with the edge of the doorway opening (OSWM models).
Adjust until the bottom of P.V.C. strip is 1/2” above the floor.
9. Mark all the wall mount track connector mounting lug anchor holes and remove track
assembly.
10. Drill anchor holes and place anchors (supplied by others) into those holes.
11. Place anchors in each hole and attach the track assembly with lag screws.
12. Remove just one end stop from the assembly and slide the three hinged trolley sections with P.V.C. strip from the track assembly.
13. Connect and slide all of the individual hinged trolley sections into the open end of the
track assembly. The studs should be facing away from the wall.
14. Replace the end stop that was removed in step 12.
15. The final step is to attach the P.V.C. strips to the hinged trolley sections using one of
the three methods illustrated on pages 3, 4 and 5.
DOOR WIDTHS GREATER THAN 5’
Multiple tracks are used for these units and wall mount track splice connectors are utilized at the joints. If multiple tracks are required, they should be assembled in numerical
order from left to right. All joints must be aligned and butted together perfectly.
1. For BP-WM models only, mark the center of the doorway opening.
2. Lay out and assemble all track components on the floor at the base of the doorway.
All joints should be butted together tightly with splice connectors.
3. Attach all wall mount track connectors to the unit. All the connector’s mounting lugs
and splice connector’s mounting lugs should be in the up or down position, depending
on which units were shipped. Position the end connectors 4” from each end of the
track assembly.Then, evenly distribute the remaining connectors across the straight
track section and tighten all the connectors.
4. Measure and mark the center point of the track assembly and disassemble the
straight track sections at the splice joints.
5. Connect four hinged trolley sections and slide these sections into one end of the
straight track that has the marked center point.
6. With that one section, follow steps 7 through 10, “FOR SINGLE TRACK SYSTEMS”.
7. Using a level, attach the remaining track sections to the wall, one at a time, making
sure that each joint’s splice connector and track connectors are firmly attached to the
wall and the set screws are firmly tightened.
8. Once the assembly is completed, install one end stop.
9. Connect and slide all of the individual hinged trolley sections into the open end of the
track assembly. The studs should be facing away from the wall.
10. Install the remaining end stop.
11. The final step is to attach the P.V.C. strips to the hinged trolley sections using one of
the three methods illustrated on pages 4 and 5.
