Note: These hole locations may be pre-drilled from the factory.

Carefully, making sure not to damage the screen, install the Housing Hinge against the stop in the

jamb using three (3) #8 x 1” pan-head screws provided. The hinge should extend past the opening

1/2” on both the header and sill.

into the pocket in the housing end cap. Carefully align the track with the housing, using a framing square

(Figure 4) to insure accuracy. Make sure the track is fully seated in the housing end cap pocket (Figure 5)

and attach the track to the opening using the #8 x 1 pan head screws provided. Repeat this process for the

sill track (Figure 6).

NOTE:

It is the responsibility of the installer to insure the installation screws are rmly xed in a suitable wall or frame. R. Lang

Company makes no implication that the screws provided are suitable for every application, and will not be responsible

for damage, poor operation, or failure that result from improper installation. Pilot holes are recommended for all screw

fastening applications. Sill Track attached.

Step 4 Install Closer

Step 5 Strike Installation

Installation Complete

Make sure all components are properly installed. Check the overall operation of the door. Drawbar guides should move freely over

both the bottom and top tracks and connect squarely with the closer. If properly installed, the door will want to return to the housing

quickly after breaking contact with the strike.

Drill three (3) 3/16” clearance holes in the closer (#R8021), two

approximately 4” from each end, one approximately in the middle

using the groove in the closer ange. The closer is designed to

pocket the tracks. It may be installed without modifying the tracks,

leaving a small gap.

Install Closer over the ends of the tracks using #8 x 1” pan head

screws provided, on the jamb opposite the housing (Figure 7).

The strike (D2160) is mounted nose down (Figure 8), using the #4-40 x 1/2 screws and lock nuts provided. The mounting holes

for the strike must be located along the alignment groove (Figure 9) provided inside the closer. The nose of the strike should be

approximately 1/8” below the latch, as measured from the sill track (Figure 10). The strike holes will locate 3/4” and 1 1/4” above

this point. Adjust the strike up or down as needed to get a secure latch. Use a 1/8” drill for #4 screw pilot holes.

WARNING!

Adjusting the strike too far down will not allow the latch to engage the strike.

Inactive Door

The astragal and astragal pins are installed on the inactive door. The

strike is pre-installed in the astragal center pocket of the inactive door.

Install Head Track

Both doors in a French set will travel along the same tracks. Locate the Head Track (R6046) and feed it on to

the top roller guide of the inactive door (See Figure 5 on Page 2). Now take the opposite end of the Head Track

and align it into the Housing end cap notch on the active door. The Head Track on the inactive side should now

ADDITIONAL PARTS

INCLUDED:

“Snapping” in the Active Door

Carefully... and while making sure the screen is properly

guided within the top and bottom tracks, pull on the center

of the drawbar until approximately two (2) feet of screen is

exposed. Line up the top drawbar guide with the top track,

and the bottom drawbar guide with the bottom track (this will

require the drawbar to be at a slight angle) and “snap” into

place (Figure 11). Allow the screen to retract back into the

housing. Test for smooth operation.

Install Housing / Hinge

Install both Housing/hinge assemblies in the jambs directly opposite

of each other. The active door will have a latch projecting from the

drawbar at the handle center.

should easily open and close, latching at the inactive door when required. If more depth for the astragal pins are desired, a 7/32” drill

bit can be used to drill through the astragal stops into the track. Be careful here, that this process does not compromise the integrity of

the building structure or weather barrier. R. Lang Company will not be responsible for any damage as a result of improper application

of this process.
