Bi-Parting Doors. Mounting door stops. Refer to Fig. 2 and locate trolley and door nearest motor to their intended open
position. Trolley must not be closer than 3 1/2” to the end of the rail while in the open position. Locate door stop 3” from the open
door edge as shown in Fig. 2 and install with 3/8” fasteners. If trolley does not have 3 1/2” of extra travel on rail with door in
the open positions, the door open position must be reset in the closed direction by the necessary distance to give 3 1/2” spacing.
Measure distance from motor side door stop to center of opening. Mark same distance from center of opening to opposite end of
header and mount remaining door stop.
4. Locate all idler components shown in Fig. 4. Remove hex nut, washer and spring from carriage bolt. Insert carriage bolt through
idler mount as shown in Fig. 3 and Fig. 4. Note: Washers and cotter pin securing roller should face outward. Slide spring onto

8. Installing Inside Release Knob Assembly
a. Place recessed housing in large hole on interior side of door, aligning center hole with a/2” through holes as shown in
Fig. 13, (STEP 1). Do not fasten in place at this time.
b. Insert knob/rod into center hole in recessed housing. Push until rod end comes through exterior door face and then place
flange over rod ash shown in Fig. 13, (STEP 2).
c. Position parts to rotate freely, then fasten recessed housing and flange to door faces with no. 10 pan head screws as shown in
Fig. 13, (STEP 3).
d. Place exterior knob onto rod as shown in Fig. 14, (STEP 4). While holding inside nob, drill 3/16” hole through small hole in
knob.
e. Insert cable stud through hole so that square of stud can be held with a wrench, ad tighten lock nut so stud just protrudes as
shown in Fig. 14, (STEP 5).
6. Mounting Recessed Inside Release Housing. From the exterior side of the door, drill a 1/2” hole completely through door. Be
certain to drill square to the door face as shown in Fig. 11, (STEP No. 1). From the interior side of door, cut a 6” diameter hole
located on center of the 1/2” through hole, cutting only to a depth of 1-5/8” as shown in Fig. 11, (STEP No. 2).
NOTE: Inside Release knob should be positioned so that it can be turned with one hand while grasping the door handle with the
other. Check interior of door for proper placement.
7. Hollow out the insulation within the cut-out area to the 1-5/8” depth. Hole should accept recessed housing as shown in Fig. 12.

Bi-Parting Doors. Determining chain length for Bi-Parting doors. Locate centerline of rail and make a mark DIM P on either side
of center. Locate trolleys at these marks. Measure DIM Q_________; DIM R ______; DIM S ______ and DIM T _____as shown
in Fig. 17. Calculate formula below to find chain length.
P= __________ (F- 5 1/4”) Trolley in closed door position using KASON Safety Edge.**
_________ (F- 5 1/2”) Trolley in closed door position using KASON Bulb Gasket. **
FIRST CHAIN LENGTH = R + Q + 2 1/4’ = ___________
SECOND CHAIN LENGTH = T + S + 6 7/8” = _____________
