DOUBLE SLIDING DOOR KIT: READ BEFORE YOU
BEGIN
The double 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 door frame and door and attach the
assembled door to the door frame of the 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 polycarbonate package (8mm
twin-wall or corrugated), install those panels after
installing the door frame and before installing the
door.
IMPORTANT: Consult the stay roller installation
steps before installing the 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

Reattach the roller and related parts to the angled bracket
attached to the end wall frame.
NOTE: Do not tighten the roller assembly 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 roller assembly attached to the right side.
Assemble with the
two brass bushing
on the underside of
the roller.
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

ATTACH DOOR TRACK
Gather the parts:
• FAK26 3/8" threaded rods, 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 tracks and 100380 hanger brackets for door track
Complete these steps to install the slider door tracks (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. Space the five (5) track hanger brackets (100380) evenly along
the slider track with one in the center at the joint between the two slider tracks.
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 doors from pushing into the opening when closed.
The position of the sliding door frames when installed and closed will align with the header and doorjambs of the
end wall door frame.

Sliding Door Track Assembly
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.
