Steel Hanger Installation Dimensions

Note: Find the installation dimensions for your Steel Hanger style in the chart below:

Hardware Installation

Step 1: Attach Steel Hangers to Your Doors

1. Choose the correct roller installation according to your roller shape (refer to page 2 and the illustration below).
2. Drill 7/16” holes at the distances from the top of the doors as shown in the chart.
   • Note: Hanger Bolts are inserted through the back of the door. The Hanger and Acorn Nuts attach to the front face of the door (except for No.10~No.14).

3. Attach Hangers with the Hanger Bolts, Washers, and Acorn Nuts as shown below.

   

Step 2: Install Anti-Jump Pad

• As shown in the illustration, the screw should be near the front edge of your door (recommended: drill a pilot hole to avoid splitting). Do not overtighten.

  

Prepare and Install the Tracks:

Step 3: Connect Tracks and Install Door Stoppers

1. Connect your tracks with junction plates if needed.

2. Loosely install the Door Stoppers near each end of the track. Final positioning will be determined at the end of the installation (Step 10).

   

Step 4: Draw 3 Lines for the Track and Brackets

1. Using a level, draw line ① for the Track at the door height + 1-11/16” above the floor.

2. Draw lines ② and ③ for the Bracket above line ① as shown in the illustrations below.

   

Step 5: Mark and Drill Track Holes

1. Line up a Track on the lowest line and mark the location of the holes. Note: Holes are 16” apart and should line up with wall studs if possible.
2. Use a level to mark the hole locations directly above the original marks on the upper two lines (Tip: Ensure the upper two marks are parallel to each other so Hangers hang straight).
3. For concrete walls: Drill holes using a 3/8” concrete drill bit.

4. For wood-framed walls: Drill holes using a 1/4” drill bit.

   

Step 6: Install the Inside Track

• Using the Spacers, Long Lag Screws, and Washers (and hollow wall anchors if necessary), attach the Track to the wall as shown in the illustration below.

  

Tip: Loosely attach one end of the Track with the other end resting on the ground. Then swing the track up and attach the other end. Finally, fill in the middle holes.

Step 7: Attach Brackets to the Wall

1. Loosely attach each bracket to the wall with Short Lag Screws and washers (and hollow wall anchors if needed).

2. Fully tighten all Lag Screws with your ratchet. Do not overtighten screws as you may strip the studs or anchors.

   

Step 8: Install the Outside Track

• Using the Spacers, Track Bolts, Washers, and Nuts, attach the outside Track to the Bypass Bracket as shown in the illustrations below.

  

Hanging and Positioning Doors

Step 9: Install Your Doors

• Lift and hang your doors on the Track, and then twist the Anti-Jump Pad toward the wall so that it is under the Track.

  

Step 10: Install the Floor Guide

1. Position the door at your desired open position, put half of the floor guide under the door, mark the location, and then fix guide to the floor.

2. Position doors in your desired open and closed position and adjust Door Stoppers.

   

WARNING

• Failure to wear proper safety gear (i.e., eye protection) may result in serious injury or death. Always wear proper safety gear before using power tools.
• Improper operation of power tools may result in loss of control, serious injury, or death. Always ensure you have complete control of the power tool and the work area is free of hazards before operating a power tool.
• Lack of secure clamping of the door may result in unexpected movement of the door, loss of power tool control, and serious injury or death. Always securely clamp the door in place before cutting or drilling the door.
• Lack of, or improperly installed Anti-jump Disc may result in the door coming off the track and cause serious injury or death. Installation of Anti-jump Discs is required for safe operation of this hardware. Installed properly, these discs will keep the door securely attached to the track.

CAUTION

• Mishandling of heavy objects (i.e., doors) may cause a loss of balance and serious injury. Always be sure you have a secure hold on the object and are balanced before moving the object. Always wear safety shoes when lifting heavy objects.
• Getting body parts (i.e., hair, fingers) caught in moving parts may cause pinching and serious injury. Do not put fingers in parts that may move and always remove or contain anything on your body that may become entangled with a moving part.
• Closing sliding doors with your hand on the end of the door may result in your hand or fingers getting caught between the door and other solid objects (i.e., another door, molding) causing serious injury. Always use the door handle to close doors.

Usage Statement

Use of excessive force when opening and closing the door(s) may result in damage to the hardware. Always hold the handle and gently open and close the door(s).
