SINGLE SWINGING DOOR KIT: READ BEFORE YOU
BEGIN
The single 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 door to the
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).

• Wear head protection.
• Use a portable GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter) when working with power tools and
cords.
• Do not climb on the framing during or after
construction.
• Provide proper ingress and egress to prevent
entrapment.
WARNING: The individuals assembling this door
are responsible for designing and furnishing all
temporary bracing, shoring and support needed
during the assembly process.
For safety reasons, those who are not familiar with
recognized construction methods and techniques
must seek the help of a qualified contractor.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Proper care and maintenance of the door is important.
Check the following items periodically to properly
maintain the door and door frame:
• Regularly check the polycarbonate panel to see that
it remains secure and in good condition. Replace
damaged panel if needed.
• Check connections and all fasteners to verify that
they remain tight.
• Check the contents of the shelter to verify that
nothing is touching the polycarbonate panels that
could cause damage or interfere with the door
operation.
• Do not leave the door ajar. Close door and secure
with latch or prop door open to avoid personal
injury or damage to the door.
• For replacement or missing parts, contact you sales
representative for assistance.
REQUIRED TOOLS

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).

SINGLE TWIN-WALL DOOR ASSEMBLY
If your door includes a corrugated polycarbonate
panel, skip this section and continue with assembly
steps for that door. The materials and parts needed to
assemble the door include:
• Door frame (102923), 8mm panel (116049), door
hinges FA5030, and latch (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 outside of door frame
and finished with aluminum (104213) U-channel
profile.
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. Locate door latch hole (5" from edge of door in cross
member) and drill 1" hole through panel at hole
location.
6. Install aluminum U-channel profile to all panel edges.
The 104213 sections at top and bottom run to panel
edges to seal the 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.

SINGLE CORRUGATED DOOR ASSEMBLY
If your door includes 8mm twin-wall polycarbonate,
return to and complete the assembly steps for that
door. The materials and parts needed to assemble the
corrugated polycarbonate door include:
• Door frame (#102923), corrugated panel (104620C),
door hinges (FA5030), and latch (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. With assistance, set the assembled door 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 door 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.
11. Test the door operation, adjust hinges as needed, and
install the remaining Tek screws to secure hinges.
12. Mount latching plate to door jamb frame using Tek
screws. The screws supplied with the latch are not
