The Tambour Door is 36", 42" and 48" wide. All Kwik-file 4-Post units are 5/16" wider than
tambour door and requires the door tracks to be placed 5/32" from the outer edges. Mark this
distance at various places along each side upright of the Kwik-file 4-Post unit.
NOTE: If you are installing this door on a unit that measures 36", 42" or 48" wide, align the
Inner Track with the outer edge of that unit.
NOTE: The Track should extend above the unit about 1/4" to 2-3/8". If the track extends
beyond the 2-3/8" MAXIMUM , both the outer and inner track must be cut back.
Remove the protective covering from the tape on the back side of the Inner Track. Position the
bottom of the Inner Track flush with the bottom of the 4-Post upright. Align the Inner Track with
the marks you made or flush with the edge as noted in Step 1. Press track firmly in place.
Secure each Inner Track to the 4-Post Upright with (5) #10-16x1/2" silver Self-tapping Screws
equally spaced along the length of the track.

to travel more freely.

Tambour Door Trouble Shooting:
The tambour door is installed at the factory with one forward revolution to establish the correct
tension of the door. If operation of door is not satisfactory please follow the steps below. The
door can be rotated to either increase or decrease the tension.
1. Remove the top portion of the housing by removing the (6) screws. While holding the door in
position, remove the slam rail. Do not let go of door. Carefully allow door to retract back into
the housing.
2. To add tension to the door, rotate the door one revolution forward. To reduce tension to the
door, rotate the door one revolution backwards. Do not let go of door. Once the door has been
adjusted pull the leading edge of the door through the bottom slot and re-attach the slam rail.
3. Test unit for satisfactory tension. Repeat steps 2 if further adjustment is needed. Once door
movement is acceptable re-install top of housing with the (6) screws that were removed in step 1.

If after adjusting the Security Shade the door
still does not pull down properly, damage to the
Spring Hubs may have occured during
shipment. The following are steps to correct
this issue in the field.
1. Remove (6) screws from housing top and lift
top off. (Fig. 1A)
2. Observe how door is installed in housing, it
will have to be re-installed in the same manner.
While holding the door firmly, remove the slam
rail. Slowly allow the door to wind back into the
housing. (Fig. 1A)
3. Lift the Bracket Assemblies with the Door
and Idler Roller out of the metal housing. (Fig.
3A) Then remove the Bracket Assemblies.
(Fig. 3B)
4. Evaluate the Spring
Hubs to see if they have
been damaged. If they
have been damaged,
please follow the
remaining steps. If no
damage exists, proceed
to step 6. (Fig. 4A)
5. Unroll door on a soft surface (carpet or
cardboard) so damage to the door front does
not occur. Remove spring hubs and replace
them on the opposite end. The damaged
spring hub end should now be inside the
support rod. (Fig. 5A)
