DOUBLE SWINGING DOOR KIT: READ THIS BEFORE
YOU BEGIN
The double swinging door kit is designed to attach
to any of these end frame kits: GS05KEW20G72,
GS05KEW24G72, GS05KEW30G72 and
GS05KEW35G72.
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 to end wall.
NOTE: If you purchased a fabric end panel to cover
the end wall frame, 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 (8 mm
twin-wall or corrugated), install those panels after
installing the door(s).

Door Frame Assembly
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.

Twin-Wall Double Swinging Doors
DOUBLE TWIN-WALL DOOR ASSEMBLY
If your doors include corrugated polycarbonate
panels, skip this section and continue with the
assembly steps for those doors. The materials and
parts needed to assemble the double door include:
• Door frames (102923), 8mm panels (116049), door
hinges (FA5030), end cap (104548), and latches
(FA2410)
• Tek screws (FA4484B), neo-bonded washers
(102921B), and aluminum profile (104213)
Assemble and Attach Door
NOTE: Install polycarbonate panel with UV-protected
side toward the outside/sun.
1. Locate door frame (102923), assemble (if needed),
and place on a flat surface.
2. Take polycarbonate panel and trim it so length is
one-quarter inch (1/4") shorter than length of door
frame.
3. Trim width of panel (if needed) so it is one-quarter
inch (1/4") narrower than width of door frame.
NOTE: Trimming panels as instructed will keep panel
away from door frame edges once aluminum profile
(104213) is installed.
4. Center panel on door frame.
5. Using Tek screws (FA4484B) and galvanized neo-
bonded washers, attach panel to horizontal cross
tube. Evenly space Tek screws and washers every
12".
Photo shows panel attached to the outside of
door frame and finished with aluminum (104213)

7. To keep panel and profile in place, install Tek screws
and neo-bonded galvanized washers so screw
drills through longer edge of U-channel (underside
of panel) and washer overlaps shorter edge of
U-channel (top) as shown above. Evenly space Tek
screws every 12".
8. Repeat above steps to attach panel and to install
aluminum profile for remaining door frame.
9. After assembling doors, evenly space three (3)
hinges along door frame of each door and attach
hinges to using Tek screws.
6. Install aluminum U-channel profile to all edges of
panel. The 104213 sections at top and bottom of
panel run to panel edges to seal panel cells.
NOTE: Attach panel in locations shown in photo to
hold in place while attaching aluminum profile to
perimeter of panel. DO NOT INSTALL NEAR LATCH
MOUNTING HOLE.

and twist main handle and front plate into place.
Locations of door hinges may vary.
10. With assistance, set the assembled doors in the end
wall door frame and secure hinges to the door jamb
using one Tek screw per hinge at this time.
14. Mark mounting hole locations on the panel and drill a
5/16" hole through the panel and door frame.
NOTE: Verify that there is sufficient clearance along
all door edges to allow the doors to swing freely in
the opening. If end panels are installed, attach to the
outside of the end panels as shown above.
11. Test the door operation, adjust hinges as needed,
and install the remaining Tek screws to secure hinges
to the doorjambs.
12. Determine which door to install the handle, locate the
door latch hole in the door cross member and drill
1" hole through the polycarbonate panel at the hole
location.
15. Slide back mounting plate into position, square it with
the mounting holes and front plate and secure using
two (2) ¼" x 3" bolts and lock nuts. Verify that latch
moves freely.
16. Attach door latch guide using the remaining ¼" x 3"
bolts. Position so latch handle is level. See above.

DOUBLE CORRUGATED DOOR ASSEMBLY
If your doors includes 8mm twin-wall polycarbonate,
skip this section and continue with the assembly steps
for that door. The materials and parts needed to assemble
the double door include:
• Door frames (#102923), corrugated panels (104620C),
door hinges (FA5030), end cap (104548) and latches
(FA2410)
• Tek screws (#FA4482B), neo-bonded washers
(#102921B), and foam closure strips (104709)
Assemble and Attach Door
1. Assemble door frame (#102923), place it on a flat surface, and attach three (3) hinges (FA5030) using Tek screws.
Evenly space hinges along side of the frame. See diagram below.
2. Select the corrugated panel (104620C) and trim it so that the length is approximately one-quarter inch (1/4")
shorter than the length of the door frame. (This helps protect the edges of the polycarbonate panel.)
3. Position the panel on the door frame so that a panel valley is placed over (or near) the door latch hole of the frame
as shown below. (Trim panel width–both edges if necessary–to align valley with door latch hole.) Mark the door
latch hole position on the corrugated panel, drill a 3/4" hole in the panel at that mark, set the panel aside, and
install the door latch as described in the diagram below and in the following step.
4. Center the latch mounting plate over the door frame hole, mark the bolt holes, and drill two 5/16" holes through
frame. With assistance, slide the latch and mounting plate assembly through the front side of the door frame, add
the mounting plate on the back side, and secure using two (2) ¼" x 3" bolts. Verify that latch turns freely.
5. Reposition the polycarbonate panel on the door frame by threading the latch through the hole drilled in the panel
(Step 3). Square panel on the frame as needed.

6. Install sections of the horizontal closure strips (104709)
under the panel before attaching the panel to the door
frame. Trim closure strips as needed.
7. Drive Tek screws and washers through the panel,
closure strip, and into the frame every 6" or so. Install
Tek screws and washers in the valleys of the panel.
Screws should be snug. Do not overtighten screws.
8. Attach the panel in the locations as shown to hold
the panel in place. If needed, secure the sides of the
polycarbonate panel to the door frame using Tek screws
only every 16".
9. Attach the door latch guide to the door frame using the
remaining 1/4" bolts. Trim the edge of the corrugated
panel as needed to allow free movement of latch.
10. Repeat the required steps needed to assemble the
remaining door frame and installation of the panel.
11. With assistance, set the assembled doors in the end
wall door frame and secure hinges to the door jamb
using one Tek screw per hinge at this time.
NOTE: Verify that there is sufficient clearance along
all door edges to allow the doors to swing freely in the
opening. If end panels are installed, loosen the panels,
secure the hinges directly to the door jamb, and reinstall
panel fasteners.
12. Test the operation of the doors, adjust hinges as
needed, and install the remaining Tek screws to secure
hinges.
