b. Each unit comes with an individual item number. If the job contains multiple units, be sure to
locate all the components for each item and separate each.
Do not interchange parts from one door to another.
c. Find the job construction drawings for the unit being installed and check the dimensions of the
opening against those on the drawings. See Figure 3.1 below.
d. If the opening dimensions differ from those on the drawings, do not proceed, check with
distributor/manufacturer to be sure the correct door is being installed.
e. Check the jambs of the opening for plumb. Check the head/lintel and floor for level. If the unit is to
be free standing, for example mounted to tubes, check the floor and ceiling for level and for
adequate mounting areas at the top and bottom.
Note: The floor may not be level if a pitched bottom bar is specified.
Work Area:
a. The key to a smooth installation is a clean and well-prepared work environment. Once the
components have been inspected and the job construction drawings have been reviewed; lay out
the components in the order of installation.
b. The opening for the door should be cleaned and inspected for rough surfaces and construction
debris.
c. Lastly the mounting hardware supplied with the door should correspond with the surface and
construction features of the opening.
d. The basic assembly sequence is as follows: guides, barrel w/ rings or tapped holes, brackets,
motor operator (if applicable), curtain, bellmouth, stoppers, weather stripping, hood, and
operator/adjustor/idler covers.

1. Remove the bellmouth from the guide by removing the bolts that anchor the bellmouth to the wall
angle. Loosen the first bolt closest to the bellmouth on the guide.
2. Certain guide assemblies may have to be disassembled in order to mark the location of the wall
fastener mounting holes and fasten to the wall. 2
•“Z” guides, with or without windlock flat, may not have to be disassembled to install.
•“E” guides, with or without windlock flat, must be disassembled in order to install the wall
angle.
3. Measure the distance from the opening/jamb to the heel of the wall angle (on “E” guides) or the
toe of the wall angle (on “Z” guides). This distance is referred to as the “Overall Guide Dimension
plus Guide Setback”; see guide assembly Figures 5.1 - 5.5. See the job construction drawings
for the dimensions.
4. Place mark on the floor at measured location. Check the distance between these marks and
compare with the job construction drawing. It will be the “Distance Between Guides” plus the
“Overall Guide Dimension plus Guide Setback” at both jambs.
If the measurement does not equal the dimensions on the job construction drawings, STOP.
Check the guide dimensions against those on the job construction drawings to be sure the correct
guides are being installed. If so, repeat previous step and re-check.
5. Scribe a plumb line on the wall from the marks on the floor.
1Formed stainless steel guide assemblies have the same basic dimensions as structural steel guide assemblies shown.
2In some cases where there is a mounting member, such as a structural tube (not provided by door manufacturer), the guide may
be fastened to the mounting member and then the entire assembly is stood up and installed together. If the guides are too heavy to
stand up assembled, they will have to be installed in pieces.

Section 5 – Guides
ECO# 1914 REVISION# 003ES 10-474 DATE 10/15/2020
6. Place the guide or wall angle against the scribed line, check the top of the guide for level, and
mark the location of the wall fastener mounting holes.
Note: For fire doors, mark the holes at the top of the wall fastener slot to allow for upward
expansion of the guides.
7. If the guide is attached to the wall with fasteners, drill mounting holes for the wall fasteners and
fasten the guides / wall angle with the hardware provided. Check the job construction drawings
for the wall fastener required. Tighten the wall fasteners to the recommended installation torque
in Torque Specification Tables in Section 14.
8. If the guide is attached to the wall by welding to structural steel, see the job construction drawings
for details on weld location, type, pitch, size, etc.1
9. Reassemble inner and outer angles if necessary.
10. Adjust the guide gap if necessary. Guide gap is critical and must be verified. Check the job
construction drawing to determine what guide gap is required for the unit.
11. Preload the assembly fasteners per the torque recommendations in the Torque Specification
Tables in Section 14.
12. If guide brush seal is provided, fasten it to the guide at this time per the guide detail on the job

1. Measure the “Opening Width”, the distance between jambs. Compare with the job construction
drawings provided.
If this distance is not equal to the job construction drawing dimension, do not proceed!! Be sure
the correct unit is being installed. Contact the project manager.
2. The tubes are usually supplied with the inner and outer guides already attached, and can usually
be installed as one unit. For larger units, installing the tubes with the guides attached may prove
difficult. The tubes may need to be installed without the inner and outer angles attached. If you
feel this is the case, remove the inner and outer angles at this time.
3. Determine where the fascia of the door will be located with respect to the header/lintel (if one
exists) and the jamb.
4. If a header/lintel exists, see the elevation view of the job construction drawings to determine if the
door is to be placed against the header. If so, project a plumb line from the header to the floor.
Mark the floor at this location.
5. If a header/lintel does not exist, or if the door is not going to be placed against the header/lintel,
contact the project manager to determine where the door will be located. Mark the floor at this
location.
1The guide assembly may differ from the right to left hand side of the unit. In these cases, follow the directions for each particular
guide assembly, as well as the job construction drawings provided with the unit.
2If bottom bar locking is provided, the slide bolt from lock may interfere with saddle. Orient saddle or modify saddle so the slide bolt
can move freely without interference.

Section 5 – Guides
ECO# 1914 REVISION# 003ES 10-474 DATE 10/15/2020
6. Locate the Saddles (brackets used to constrain the tube at the bottom). There are two types of
saddles: standard saddles and inverted saddles. Both utilize the same steps for installation. The
difference is the mounting flange. Fire doors come with inverted saddles for mounting at the
bottom of the tube.
Note: If bottom bar locking is provided, be sure to orient the saddles as not to interfere with the
throw of the slide bolt. See Figure 5.11.

7. Use the mark placed on the floor in the previous steps, to locate where the saddle will be and
mark the hole locations by placing the saddle on the floor. See Figure 5.11.
8. Double check the width dimensions provided on the job construction drawings, then drill holes for
the saddle fasteners.
9. Install saddles using the provided hardware.
10. Fire door guides mounting to tubes, require the use of a slip joint. There are (3) mounting styles
for slip joints, as detailed in Figures 5.12, 5.13 and 5.14. Refer to the job information to
determine the correct mounting style for the unit. Locate the Slip Joint Mounting Member(s).
11. Use the job information and the marks made in the previous steps to determine the correct Slip
Joint Mounting Member location. Install using the provided hardware. Use only enough
fasteners to hold the Mounting Members securely in place (2), as they will be removed in a later
step.
12. Determine the required tube length. Refer to Figure 5.12, 5.13 or 5.14, depending on which
configuration you are installing.
a. Measure from the “Floor to Slip Joint Mounting Member” as shown in the corresponding
figure below. Record this measurement.
b. To allow for heat expansion, the steel tube will need to be cut short. To determine the
required “Expansion Allowance”, round the measurement taken in the previous step up to the
nearest foot increment. Multiply the rounded value by 1/8 in/ft. Refer to the table below for
examples:

Section 5 – Guides
ECO# 1914 REVISION# 003ES 10-474 DATE 10/15/2020
c. Calculate the Tube Length:
Tube Length = “Floor to Slip Joint Mounting Member” – “Expansion Allowance”
d. Cut the tubes to the calculated “Tube Length”. Make sure you cut the excess tubing from the
top. Otherwise you will cut off necessary mounting holes and/or notches.
Note: If regular saddles are provided, the tube length will have to be adjusted because the tube will
not sit on the saddle flanges instead of the floor. Subtract the thickness of the flanges from the tube
length.
13. Remove the Slip Joint Mounting Member(s). Place the Slip Joint Mounting Members in the tops
of the tubes.
14. Orient the tubes (ensure the guides, mounting holes or notches are facing the correct direction.)
Place the bottom of the tube over the saddle. Stand the tube upright and reattach the slip joint
mounting member using the previously drilled/marked holes to locate. Use all provided fasteners
at this stage. Check that installed tube is plumb.
15. If you removed the inner and outer angles in Step 2, reinstall them at this point.

•Mixed Guides (One Face of Wall and One Between Jambs):
1. Refer to the job construction drawings for specific mounting information.
2. Follow the steps in the preceding sections for each of the respective guide configurations.
3. Ensure that the guide centers (centerline of the guide openings) are aligned before proceeding

Section 6 – Barrel and Brackets
ECO# 1914 REVISION# 003ES 10-474 DATE 10/15/2020
Note: Check to see if a hood support will be required. If so, refer to the “Hood Support
Installation” section before proceeding to the barrel and brackets.
1. Refer to the job construction drawings to determine the “coil side” of the opening, or the side of
the opening on which the coil is to be installed. Then determine which jamb wall is your “operator
side”, or side on which the operator is to be installed. The following instructions refer to these
directional cues.
Note: Units without operators (such as push-up units) are still considered to have an “operator”
side. The shaft and job drawings will be marked with “operator” side regardless of the operation
of the door so that it can be used as a directional cue.
2. Unpack the barrel assembly. Note the markings on the barrel, see Figure 6.1 below.
Figure 6.1 – Barrel Markings – left hand adjust shown

3. Position the barrel assembly on the coil side of the opening, with the end marked “operator”
towards the “operator side” of the opening. In order to alleviate the ring and bracket installation,
place the barrel assembly on blocks or spacers such that it is elevated off the ground.
Note:Choose sufficiently sized blocks. The barrel assembly should be elevated off the ground
enough that the brackets can be installed without contacting the floor.
4. Check to make sure the required number of turns is noted on the barrel, as shown in Figure 6.1.
Consult the distributor or the manufacturer if you cannot locate this information. Check that these
numbers match the information provided on the job information. Take note of these numbers, as
access to this information may be obstructed once the curtain is installed.
5. Typically the adjusting wheel is not shipped attached to the barrel. However, if the adjusting
wheel is attached to the barrel, remove by loosening the bolt or set screws that secure the
adjusting wheel to the barrel and sliding the wheel off the inner shaft. See Figure 6.2.
Figure 6.2 – Removal of adjustor from barrel assembly

Section 6 – Barrel and Brackets
ECO# 1914 REVISION# 003ES 10-474 DATE 10/15/2020
6. Refer to the job information provided with the door to determine the correct ring type and quantity.
If the unit does not require rings, skip to Step 9. Many larger diameter (8”, 10”, 12”, etc.) barrel
assemblies do not require rings for curtain attachment.
7. Locate the rings in the hardware bag/box provided. Check that you were supplied the correct
type and quantity. (Use Figure 6.3as a visual aid.)
8. Use the information in Figure 6.3to install the rings.
Note: It is critical that the rings are installed correctly in relation to the coiling direction, or the
direction of wrap as the door travel upward. The rings act as graduated spacers, meaning they
increase in diameter such that the curtain wraps in a consistent and smooth manner. Use the arrows
on the figures below to determine the correct orientation of the rings in relation to the coiling direction.

Installation:
•Use a small pry bar or large standard screwdriver to spread the gap in the ring by prying between
bolt flange and the nut cradle of the casting (see above).
•Slide the ring over the barrel, noting direction of wrap, and rotate the ring so the locating nub in the
casting aligns with the locating hole in the barrel.
•Insert the 3/8 square nut into the nut cradle of the casting and the 3/8” x 1-1/4” hex bolt through the
bolt flange in the casting and tighten to minimum 20 ft lbs of torque.
•Be sure ring sits straight on barrel.
Ring Attachment (Figures 6.3-6.4):
9. Locate the brackets. Determine the “operator” and “adjustor” brackets by referring to Figure 6.4.
The “operator” bracket may vary significantly based on the operation of the door. The “adjustor”
bracket will contain a label with spring adjustment instructions.
10. Remove the adjusting wheel if you haven’t previously it, and slide the adjustor bracket over the
inner shaft of the barrel assembly. The hood clip angles should be facing inwards and the
dropout pawl should be facing outwards. Install the adjusting wheel (see Figure 6.2).
11. The operator bracket is shipped with a temporary plug holding the sprocket(s) and spacer
washers in place on the bracket. Remove the plug and the bag of hardware attached to it, taking
care not to lose the spacer washers positioned between the sprockets. Do not tighten the set
screws in the bearing at this point. You may need to adjust the position when attaching to the
guides.
Note: Push-up units will not have spacer washers.
12. Align the bearing, sprocket(s) and spacer washers as shown below, and slide the assembly over
the gear end until the inside face of the bracket is approximately 3 inches from the edge of the
outer shaft. It is recommended that you install the keys, located in the bag of hardware you
removed with the temporary plug, into each sprocket at this stage. Do not tighten the set screws
at this point.
Note: Do not install the operator until the barrel and bracket assembly is hoisted into position
and securely fastened to the guides. Installing the operator at this stage will cause the assembly
to be lopsided and cumbersome, making it difficult and potentially dangerous to hoist into
position.

Hoisting and Installing Barrel Assembly
1. The following methods can be used for hoisting them into place:
•Crane Hoisting: Place a sling or lifting agent under the barrel assembly at the “lift point”
provided on the barrel, see Figure 6.1.
•Forklift Hoisting:Space the forks evenly under the “lift point” provided on the barrel, see
Figure 6.1.Ensure that the barrel assembly is positioned close enough to the tips of the
forks that the fastening holes in the bracket can be aligned with those of the guides without
the forks contacting the wall. Secure the barrel assembly to avoid the slipping off the tip of the
forks.
The addition of brackets may offset the balance slightly from when the “lift point” was marked.
Check to make sure the assembly is properly balanced before hoisting.
2. Before hoisting, refer to the hardware sheet and ensure that the proper type and quantity of
fasteners were provided for the bracket installation. Measure the distance between the brackets
and compare that to your wall angles (or between mounting angles if tubes are present). Fire
door brackets are installed on the outside of the wall angles. Readjust the brackets as needed
before hoisting.
3. Center the barrel assembly between the guides, keeping approximately 2 feet of clearance
between the barrel assembly and wall/guides.
4. Raise the barrel assembly up to the approximate bracket mounting level. The brackets should be
clear of the outer and inner guide angles.
Note: Position the brackets in the upright position, with the mounting holes facing the wall, before
moving the assembly towards the wall. It may be difficult to rotate the bracket when in close to the
wall.
5. Slowly maneuver the barrel assembly towards the guide, and align the mounting holes of the
brackets with those of the wall angles (or mounting angles if tubes are present).
6. Insert the specified bolts and snug tighten, see Figure 6.5.
