2 Twin-Wall Double Swinging s CARE AND MAINTENANCE Proper care and maintenance of the door is important. Check these items periodically to properly maintain door and door frame: Regularly check polycarbonate panels to ensure these remain secure and in good condition. Replace damaged panels if needed. Check connections and all fasteners to verify that they remain tight. Check contents of shelter to verify nothing is touching any panel that could cause damage or interfere with door operation. IMPORTANT NOTICE: Remove protective film from the polycarbonate panels. Allowing film to remain intact and in direct sunlight will make it difficult if not impossible to remove. Store panels out of direct sunlight until film is removed. Rest panel edges on cardboard or other material to protect them from dirt and damage during assembly. Sample panel shown. Protective Film Do not leave door partially opened. Close door and secure with latch, or prop open to avoid personal injury or damage. For replacement or missing parts, contact your sales representative. DOUBLE DOOR FRAME LAYOUT ATTENTION: Mark UV-protected side with a piece of tape after protective film is removed and install that side toward the sun.. Frame rough door opening 1/2'' taller than doors and 1/2'' wider than width of both doors. Measure assembled doors for an exact dimension. 92-1/2" Header inside-to-inside measurements 2

3 Frame Assembly ASSEMBLE DOOR FRAME COMPONENTS Consult diagrams near the back of this guide before you begin. ATTENTION: Photos and diagrams show attaching door frame to an end wall constructed using girts with a specific profile. If actual end wall frame differs, take necessary steps to alter instructions as needed to allow proper installation of door jambs and header. The following steps describe one way to set door jambs. 1. Using dimensions from diagram below, locate and mark door jamb positions on site. 2. Dig a 10"-12" diameter hole at locations found in previous step to a depth that is below geographic frost line. (Minimum depth: 24".) 3. Locate the 120" door jambs ( ). Using a metal saw, cut and remove 2-1/2" sections from one end of each door jamb as shown in photo A. This creates a lip and allows jamb to be attached to girt (see photo B and C and Side View diagram). Vertical Support A 2-1/2" Lip 2-1/2" Front Cut along dotted lines. Remove this section 2-1/2" Left ATTENTION: Diagrams A-D show left door jamb only. Adjust cuts when cutting end for right jamb. 4. Using diagrams as guides, attach jambs to girts using wafer head screws (photo C, D, and E). Install end wall girts if needed. ATTENTION: Position door jambs so open sides of C-channel face away from door opening (as shown in photo C) and lip overlaps girt. When attached to girt, lower end of each jamb extends into a ground anchor hole and is secured in place using concrete. Consult a knowledgeable contractor if needed. During installation, verify that inside-to-inside dimension for door frame remains consistent. Side View End wall as seen from the outside.

4 Frame Assembly ASSEMBLE DOOR FRAME COMPONENTS (continued) 5. With door jambs attached, measure and mark height of rough door opening. Consult drawing below and Frame Layout located in Quick Start. Measure from finished grade to underside of header. 6. Locate the header material, measure outside-to-outside width of door jambs, and cut header to required length. 7. Using a metal saw, cut two 2" sections and bend lip inward from both ends of door header as shown at right (see photos F and G). This creates two (2) tabs and allows header to attach to jambs. Open channel of header points upward. 8. Position header so the two (2) tabs on each side overlap door jambs (see photo H). Align header bottom with vertical support marks made in Step 5. Ensure header is level and check dimensions. 9. Attach front and back of header to jambs using wafer head screws. Reinforce header by securing bent lip to vertical support using Tek screws as shown in photo H. (Customer-supplied bolts can also be used.) 10. After door frame is square and assembled, secure door jambs in ground using concrete. NOTE: Concrete should remain at least 2"- 4" below ground level so it does not interfere with construction, installation of other end wall components (if equipped), or door operation. 11. After assembling door frame, continue with door assembly. NOTE: Sample end frame and rafter are not included with any door kit. End wall as seen from the outside.

See panel film for details. 1. Locate one (1) door frame (102923), assemble (if needed), and place it on a flat surface. 2. Take one (1) polycarbonate panel and trim it so that length is one-quarter inch (1/4") shorter than length of door frame. 3. Trim width of panel (if needed) so that it is onequarter inch (1/4") narrower than width of door frame. NOTE: Trimming panels as instructed will keep panel flush with edge of door frame once aluminum profile (104213) is installed. 4. Center panel on door frame. 5. Using Tek screws (FA4484B) and galvanized neobonded washers, attach panel to horizontal cross tube of door frame. Evenly space Tek screws and washers every 12". 6. Install aluminum U-channel profile along all pannel edges. Ends can be mitered or cut as shown. Photo shows panel attached to outside of door frame and finished with aluminum (104213) U-channel. 7. To keep panel and profile in place, install Tek screws and neo-bonded galvanized washers so screw drills through longer edge of U-channel (underside of panel) and washer overlaps shorter edge of U-channel (top) as shown above. Evenly space Tek screws every 12". 8. Repeat the above steps to attach panel and to install profile for remaining door frame. 9. Determine on which door to install handle, locate the door latch hole (5" from edge of door in cross member) and drill 1" hole through panel at the hole location.
