with the screws going into a solid surface such as
studs or a header. Due to the spacing of the holes on
these Brackets, it is not possible to mount them
directly onto your wall into studs.

Depending on your doorway, you may choose a two-door or a four-door setup.
Two-Door Setup
Both Doors glide smoothly
to the side. Installing a
Wall-Mount Door Guide as a
Come Along will allow open-
ing and closing both Doors
with one easy motion. See
pages 11 and 12.

Four-Door Setup
All four Doors glide smoothly out of the
way; two to one side and two to the other
side. Installing a Wall-Mount Door Guide as
a Come Along on each pair will allow open-
ing and closing your Doors on either side
with one easy motion (see pages 11 and 12).

• To determine where to install your Brackets and Track, add
together 1-3/8” (space above door to Track Location) plus
1/2” (oor gap) to the height of your Door. This measurement
is how high up on your wall (from your finished floor up) you
should install the Brackets and Track.
• This is where you will mark a horizontal line on your wall parallel
to the finished floor, the same length of your Track.

• Check to see if your finished floor
is level. If your floor rises more than
1/2” along the length of the Track,
you risk your Door rubbing or
sticking at this high point.
• If your floor is not level, determine
where the highest point of your
floor is and use this as your
point to measure from
upwards, see Step 2.

1. Measuring and Marking the Header
• Measure and pencil a line 1-3/4” up from the
bottom of the Header. You will align this line
with the line on your wall.
3. Marking Drill Holes to Attach Bracket
• Place a Bypass Bracket centered onto the rst vertical
pencil marking, with the bottom of the Bracket Edge
touching the bottom horizontal penciled line (1”
from bottom edge of Header).
• With a pencil, mark the center of each of the four
holes in the Bracket back. Repeat for remaining Brackets.

• Using a drill with a 1/8” bit, drill a pilot
hole into the center of each of the markings
(four for each Bracket).
• Attach each Bracket with Lag Screws
and a Ratchet.
3. Attach Brackets to Header
2. Attach Header to Wall
• Align the top penciled line on your Header
(1-3/4” from the bottom of the Header)
with the penciled line on your wall.

Attach the Header to the wall, making sure you
are drilling and attaching into wall studs.

1. Installing Rear Track
Outside (End) Holes
• e outside holes will be installed with a Door Stop.
Install the rst outside hole in this order: Track,
Door Stop, Washer, and Lag Bolt.
• Using a ratchet with a 5/8” socket, tighten the
Lag Bolt most of the way, enough to hold the Track
in place, but allowing the Track to move.
• Swing the other end of your Track up with the end
hole. Install the other end hole as in Step 1.
Inside Holes
• e hardware for the inside holes will be
installed in this order: Track, Washer and
Lag Bolt.
• Using a ratchet with a 5/8” socket, tighten
the Lag Bolt most of the way.
• Install remaining inside holes in the same
order.
• When all holes are installed, go back with a
ratchet with a 5/8” socket and fully tighten,
being careful not to over-tighten to avoid
stripping the header or wall studs.
2. Hanging Your Back Door(s)
Installing Tracks
If more that one length of
Track is being used for longer
installation applications, use
the Bypass Splice Plate Bracket
to join the Tracks together, as
shown here.

1. Installing Your Door Guide
• Slide the Door into the
open position exposing
the other edge of the
Door Guide.
• Using a drill with a Phillips
bit, install a second 1”
Grabber Screw.
• Use your level to plumb* your Door.
• With the Door in the closed
position, place the Door Guide half
way into the Door mortise (the
groove that runs along the bottom
of a wood Door).
• Double check that your Door is
plumb.*
• Hold the Door Guide firmly in
position. Using a drill with a Phillips
bit, install a 1” Grabber Screw to
secure your Door Guide to the floor.
_____________________
*Plumb - perfectly vertical.
With a Bypass Track System, either a Wall-Mount or a Floor-Mount
Door Guide can be installed on the back Door (the one that is
closest to the wall). An additional Wall-Mount Door Guide can be
installed onto the front of the back door, connecting to the front
Door and acting as a Come Along Guide, see page 11.

• Slide both doors to the open position. Slide the back door
(closest to the wall) out several inches to gain access to
the Door. is is where you will install the Guide.
• On the back Door, Pencil a line 1-1/16” parallel to the
edge of the door that is closest to your Door opening.
• With the edge of the Bracket back lined up with the line
you just penciled, shift the Bracket up slightly so the
vertical Bracket edge is inside the mortised groove,
holding the door in place, yet the mortised groove clears
the top of the Bracket edge.
• With a Phillips drill bit, drill a Grabber Screw into each
hole in the Bracket back plate.
• Slide front Door so the mortise
along the bottom of the Door
slides over the vertical Bracket edge.
