BI-FOLD
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
7. HANG PIVOTING PANEL(S)
First, insert the bottom pin into the bottom
pivot bracket. Push the top door plate onto the
adjustable nut of the top pivot. To plumb the
panels, loosen the set nut on the top pivot. Move
the panel until plumb then tighten set nut. The
bottom pivot is also adjustable as necessary.
8. HANG REMAINING PANELS
Hang the next panel by connecting the top door
bracket to the wheel carrier. Then, align the hinges
of the two panels and insert the hinge pins. Adjust
the wheel carrier to level by using the enclosed
wrench. Repeat this process for all remaining
panels
9. SNUGGERS
The snuggers are used to provide tension on
Bi-Folding panels, so that the panels remain in
position when closed. Once the panels are fully
installed, loosen the set screw of the snugger and
position so that the wheel carrier will slightly press
against the rubber bumper
10. BI-FOLD PANEL GUIDES
It will be necessary to apply bi-fold panel guides
on all one-way close bi-fold track systems with
side frames. The panel guides will be applied to the
non-pivot side frame. Apply the first panel guide
2” up from the bottom of the frame. The second
panel guide is located at the divider rail location or
in the center of the side frame. A single #6 x 3/4”
screw is used to attach the guides to the frame.
The guide sits in the corner against the lightblock
as shown below.
11. ATTACH VALANCE
Attach valance brackets to the front of the frame
using the included #6 x 3/4” screws, the installation
holes should be pre-drilled. Once all brackets are
secure, position the channel on the back of the
valance so that it rests on the bracket. The valance
will need to be on a 45 degree angle, with the
bottom of the valance farther into the room. Rotate
the valance down to a vertical orientation until
locked into all brackets
12. VALANCE RETURNS
Depending on application, there are two installation
methods:
1. If the returns will contact or come too close to
the wall, install front valance then attach returns.
2. If there is sucient room, attach returns to front
valance and install as an assembled unit. If the
returns are longer than 2 3/4”, then a frame corner
key can be used to help locate the return. Glue the
corner key into the return, then attach the return
to the front valance. To attach, use Loctite 414 and
apply a thin line of glue around the walls of the front
valance. Position the return against the front valance
and hold until dry. If the bottom of the valance with
returns tilts upward, then add hinge shims behind
each valance bracket. Loosen each bracket and
position a shim behind the bracket, above the screw
and re-tighten screw.

OUTSIDE MOUNT
1) If holes have not been pre-drilled, then drill 3/8”
holes through the first layer of Polyresin 3 at the
front edge of the reveal of the frame (or frame
lightblock) every 10”. 3/8” holes can also be drilled
in the nose of the frame for additional support. This
will require screws approximately 6”-8” in length
3. FRAME INSTALLATION
For an inside mount, the top frame will be fastened
to the opening first and it must be level. Remove
every other track screw and replace it with a 3”
screw to fasten the frame to the opening. Use shims
between the top frame and the opening to level if
necessary.
For an outside mount, set the frame against the
wall. Level the top frame and fasten to the wall with
the provided installation screws. For additional
strength, drill 3/8” holes into the front of the frame
and set an 6” or longer screw (not provided)
through the front of the frame into the opening.
Plumb the side frames and fasten with the screws
provided.
4. INSERT AND ATTACH TRACK COMPONENTS
A) One Way Stacking Bi-Folds
Determine pivot or stacking side. Install Top Pivot at
that end of the track. Tighten to the point it will not
fall out of the track, then insert all carriers. Insert
snugger with the bumper towards the center of the
track. Tighten to the point it will not fall out of the
track.
1. FRAME ASSEMBLY
If not already attached, glue track support spacers
to the recessed channel at each end of the top
frame. Insert the provided 3” screws though the
pre-drilled assembly holes of the top frame.
Line up the screw through the screw ports inside
the side frames (fasten tightly).
2. INSTALLATION HOLES
INSIDE MOUNT
1) The preferred method of installation is to
remove every other screw from at least one track
and set 3” screws through the track and frame
into the opening. Determine if the frame will be
recessed enough for this installation method.
2) If not, drill 3/8” holes through the first layer of
Polyresin 3 on the underside of the frame near
the rear track. Holes should be drilled every 10”
starting at each end of the frame.
Track support spacer glued to each end of top frame
B) Center Close
Install Top Pivot at the left end of the track.
Tighten to the point it will not fall out of the
track. Insert half of the carriers, then insert two
snuggers back to back. Tighten to the point they
will not fall out of the track. Insert the remaining
carriers and the Top Pivot at the right end of the
track and tighten to the point it will not fall out
of the track.
5. ALUMINUM TRACK
Mount the track with all components installed by
placing the track in the recessed channel of the
frame and attach provided installation screws.
For inside mounts, leave out every other track
screw. Installation screws will be set through the
track, and through the frame into the opening.
6. MOUNT THE BOTTOM PIVOT
Mount the bottom pivot to the side frame, tight
to the floor. The center of the pivot bracket
should be in line with indicator line on side frame
and the top pivot. Attach to the floor if possible.
Rotate track onto frame & attach screws
