SINGLE SLIDING DOOR KIT: READ BEFORE YOU
BEGIN
The single sliding door kit is designed to attach
to any of these end frame kits: GS05KEW20G72,
GS05KEW24G72, GS05KEW30G72 and
GS05KEW35G72. These instructions and the instructions
for the end frame are written to be used together.
Install the end wall framing before you install the door
frame. Consider the positions of fans, vents, and other
accessories before you install the door frame.
Door must not block or interfere with the operation of
building accessories.
If you are installing this door kit in an end frame that is
not identified above, use these instructions for critical
dimensions and details.
Consult the services of a qualified contractor if needed. It
is the responsibility of the owner/contractor to adapt these
instructions to safely and competently install this door in
an end frame or building that it was not designed for.
Complete these steps to begin and to install the door:
1. Based on the dimensions of the door (or doors),
determine where you can position the door in the end
frame. Use the diagrams from both this manual and
the end wall assembly guide.
2. Secure the door framing to the end wall framing.
3. Assemble 102923 door frame and door and attach
assembled door to end wall.
NOTE: If you purchased a fabric end panel to cover
the end, install the panel before you install the door;
then remove the panel material as needed to allow for
the installation of the door.
If you purchased a poly carbonate end wall package
(8 mm twin-wall or corrugated), install those panels
after installing door frame and before installing the
door.
IMPORTANT: Consult the stay roller installation
steps before installing end wall polycarbonate
panels.

ASSEMBLING THE DOOR FRAME COMPONENTS
Consult the diagrams at the back of these instructions before you begin. Assistance is required to assemble the door
frame and door. The following steps describe one way to assemble the door frame and door.
1. Using the dimensions on the Door Frame Layout diagram (Quick Start Section), determine the positions of the
doorjambs.
2. Dig 8"-10" diameter holes at the locations found in previous step to a depth that is below the geographic frost line.
Minimum depth: 24".
3. Using the rough door opening dimensions and the door frame components, assemble and install the door frame.
See diagram below.
4. Square door frame and secure doorjambs in holes using concrete. Verify door frame dimensions before you
secure jambs in concrete. Doorjambs must be plumb for proper door operation.
5. Once door frame is attached to end wall framing, assemble the door. Consult the procedures on the next few
pages for your door (twin wall or corrugated polycarbonate).

Stay Roller Assembly
ASSEMBLE AND ATTACH STAY ROLLERS
1. Locate the 100356 stay roller and remove the roller,
bushings, bolt, and nuts.
2. Secure the angle bracket in the lower-right corner of
the assembled door frame as shown below. Allow
clearance under bracket to attach stay roller.
Reattach the stay roller and related parts to the angled
bracket attached to the end wall frame.
NOTE: Do not tighten the stay roller at this time. It is
adjusted and tightened when the door is installed.
ATTENTION: Stay roller assembly is attached to the door
jamb on the same side the door is on when in the open
position. For illustration purposes, the following diagrams
show the stay roller attached to the right side.
ATTENTION: After installing the stay roller, install
the end wall cladding (polycarbonate panels or
fabric panel). The polycarbonate panels of any
end wall PC package must be installed before you
install the sliding door assembly. Complete the
installation of all polycarbonate panels at this time
for these kits: GS05KCC2072 and GS05KCT2072,
GS05KCC2472 and GS05KCT2472, GS05KCC3072
and GS05KCT3072, and GS05KCC3572 and

Gather the parts:
• FAK26 3/8" threaded rod, FALB04B 3/8" nuts, FAME18B 3/8" SS flat
washers, FAMA38B lock washers, and FAME52B 3/8" flat washers
• FA4484B Tek screws and 102921B neo-bonded washers
• 100377 door track and 100380 hanger bracket for door track
Complete these steps to install the slider door track (100377). Complete
only those steps that apply to the type of end wall polycarbonate (8mm
twin-wall or corrugated) that covers the end frame.
1. Review diagram below for the slider track position. Track typically
extends 1"-2" past the outer edge of the doorjamb. Space the three
(3) track hanger brackets (100380) evenly along the slider track.
ATTENTION: Install hangers in a position so the mounted track is
above the top of the door header. Add another end wall horizontal
tube if needed to correctly mount the slider track. Door opening
is smaller than the actual sliding door frame to prevent door from
pushing into the opening.
The position of the sliding door frame when installed and closed will
align with the header and doorjambs of the end wall door frame.

2. Mark bracket positions on end wall cladding. Space brackets evenly along the length of slider track.
For corrugated panels, drill 7/16" mounting holes in the valleys of the panels. Shift brackets left or right as needed.
Drill one 7/16" hole through the end wall cladding and steel tube framing for each bracket. Drill holes level and
straight through the tube to mount the brackets and track properly. See diagrams below and on the next page.
For twin-wall polycarbonate panels, first drill a 1" hole through the twin-wall panel only at bracket mount position,
then drill the 7/16" mounting hole through the end wall frame tube. This allows the mounting nuts and washers to
directly contact end wall frame without crushing the twin-wall polycarbonate panels. See diagrams below and on
the next page. Before you install track bracket, fill hole in polycarbonate panel using customer-supplied sealant.

If your door kit includes a corrugated polycarbonate
panel, skip this section and continue with the
assembly steps for that door. The materials and parts
needed to assemble the door include:
• Assembled door frame with bearing hangers
• 8 mm panel (116049)
• Door handle (100362)
• Pancake head screws (115581)
• Neo-bonded washers (102921B)
• Aluminum profile (104213)
Assemble and Attach Door
NOTE: Attach polycarbonate panel with UV-protected
side toward the outside/sun.
1. Remove door frame with bearing hangers from door
track and place on a flat surface.
2. Take polycarbonate panel and trim so length is one-
quarter inch (1/4") shorter than length of door frame.
NOTE: Attach panel in locations shown in photo to
hold in place while attaching aluminum profile to
perimeter of panel.
6. Install aluminum U-channel profile to all edges of
polycarbonate panel. The 104213 sections at top and
bottom of panel run to panel edges to seal cells.
5. Using 115581 pancake head screws and galvanized
neo-bonded washers, attach panel to horizontal cross
tube of door frame. Evenly space screws and washers
every 12".
3. Trim width of panel (if needed) so that it is one-
quarter inch (1/4") narrower than width of door frame.
NOTE: Trimming panels as instructed will keep panel
flush with edges of the door frame once the aluminum
profile (104213) is installed.
4. Center panel on door frame.

7. Take the 115581 screws and, using the 100448 bit
and drill driver, secure trim to door. Carefully install
each screw. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN! Doing so will
dent the aluminum trim pieces.
10. After adjustments are made, slide door to its open
position and install two Tek screws through the front
of the door track at both ends to prevent the door from
sliding out of the track.
11. Install the door handle in the desired location, using
115581 pancake head screws through the panel and
into the door frame. Handles can be installed vertically
or horizontally.
12. Install the 104548 profile along the end wall door
frame as shown in the following photos.
ATTENTION: The installation of the 104548 profile is
an optional step for those who want to cap the end of
the end panels at the door opening. Use Tek screws
to secure the profile to the end wall framing.
View is from the inside of the frame looking at the
point where the door meets the door frame of the end

damage or interfere with the door operation.
• For safety, door must remain fully opened or fully
closed. Do not leave door ajar.
• Check all slider mounting bolts regularly and tighten
as needed.
• Replace damaged or broken parts immediately.
• Lubricate bearing hangers and stay rollers as needed
to keep them operating smoothly.
• For replacement or missing parts, contact you sales
