Installation Overview
  1. Using the gage bars (side angles) mark the location of the top and bottom tracks making sure there is equal spacing from the edge of the opening to the edge to the tracks.
  2. Measure the width of the stacks in order to properly center the accordion shutter in the opening, leaving equal distance from the edge of the opening and the starting edge of the stack.
  3. Attach top track to wall as pre-drilled by the factory.
  4. Center wheels in top track and feed on. Wheels should be closest to wall with pins to outside.
  5. Attach gage bars (side angles) to the wall as pre-drilled by the factory
  6. Attach bottom track to wall as pre-drilled by the factory, butting up to the bottom of the gage bars (side angles).
  7. Attach starter strips to gage bars (side angles) with tech screws not exceeding 9” O.C.
  8. Pull both sides of accordion together and make sure it closes properly and locks. Adjust the keeper in the male jamb to properly mate with the female jamb T-handle lock.
  9. Mark locking pin holes with the shutter in the closed position for additional strength mark out where pins will fit into each top and bottom track.
  10. Mark locking pin holes to keep accordion open by moving accordion to open position and mark out where pins will fit into each top and bottom track.
