• 3mm Drill Bit
• 5/32 Drill Bit
• Phillips Screwdriver
• Hacksaw
• Pop Rivet Gun

When you install a sliding door it is important to align top rollers to the top track first. Then lift the bottom rollers up on to the bottom track. Slide back & forth to make sure that you have the rollers correctly on the track.

With a Phillips head screwdriver, adjust the roller screws located on the back inside of the door. Start with the bottom rollers adjusting them only to align the door square with the closing channel. Once the door is aligned then adjust top rollers down, only enough to take up & down movement out of the door. Test this frequently as you adjust them as over adjustment may cause excessive pressure on rollers, which may damage them.

 Once the correct roller adjustment is achieved, roll the door back & forth several times to allow them to bed in correctly.

From the outside position with the lock striker receiver mounted in the lock position, roll the door into the closed position & mark side, top, & bottom of striker receiver as it sits in the receiving channel. Remove receiver striker & line up to the marks. Drill the top hole only in the centre of elongation with a 3mm drill bit. Now fix the striker receiver to the receiving channel & adjust accordingly. Once the lock has been tested & is functioning correctly then drill & install the bottom screw. 

   Put the door in the closed position. The back of the door should be approximately 5mm over the fixed glass panel receiving interlock. Place the frame interlock provided, on the back of the door, so it fits into the fixed glass panel receiving interlock. Using a 5/32-drill bit, drill & pop rivet the frame interlock with the rivets provided. Slide back & forth to ensure correct function. In some cases it may be necessary to adjust the length the of frame interlock, this can be done with a hacksaw. 

    Put the door in the closed position. The back of the door should be approximately 5mm over the fixed glass panel. Place bug seal with brush hair facing the glass on the fixed glass panel. Make sure that you centre the seal so it misses top & bottom tracks. Drill & fix with 3mm drill bit & pop rivets provided

Bug seals are available in 19 colours to match your door.
