Instructions
#310309_C (1013)
• Engage split bottom end of studs, with exposed wood facing out,
at an angle with the floor plate.
• Locate stud sets.
Note: For best results, pre-drill holes before screwing.
• Butt one pair of split studs against the header nailing boards
and screw to header. Screw the other pair of split studs to
the header midway between the first pair of split studs
and the rough stud on the pocket side. Reposition the
floor plates between the chalk lines, plumb the split studs,
to make sure they are vertical and square. Screw floor
plates to floor using (#8 x 5/8") screws.
(L)
• Engage ends of split studs onto floor plates so slots on backside are
against the header. If split studs must be shortened for shorter doors,
determine which end of stud has the slots close to the end,
then cut off the other end.
Note: When properly installed in
3-3/4" stud wall without modifications,
this frame allows 2" free space
between split studs for door.
A 1-3/8" door would leave 5/16"
clearance on each side.
For doors greater than 1-3/8" thick,
replace the standard floor plates with
the plates provided in the secondary
included parts bag PB-1634. Wood
shims are provided to be placed
between the split studs and header.
Fig. A
Note: For added security when using heavier doors, drill two 1/4" diameter holes,
centered in track, through header - one in the approx. middle of door opening and one
in middle of pocket. Insert 3-1/2" long #6 or #8 truss head screws through holes and
screw to rough header. Do not overtighten to avoid bending track or header. Clean inside
of track of drill shavings and saw dust.
• Insert both carriers (Fig. A) into track BEFORE installing header
assembly with adjusting screws into lowest position.
• Snap two chalk lines on the floor, even with the sides
of the framing studs.
• Set header and track assembly on end brackets. Check to
make sure nailing boards are over doorway then screw end
bracket to header and track assembly with pre-attached screw.
• Lay down floor plates between chalk lines, one approximately
in the center of the opening and the other approximately halfway
between it and the rough stud of the pocket side.
