ExamSlideᵀᴹ Single Door SystemSep2019 REV7 Page 1.1 & 1.2

Step 1.2VERIFY ROUGH OPENINGS

LOCATE THE DOOR ON SUPPLIED SHOP DRAWINGS, THEN MEASURE WALL

OPENING AND COMPARE THEM WITH THE HEIGHT AND WIDTH ROUGH OPENING

ON THE DRAWING FOR THAT DOOR.

IF ACTUAL ROUGH OPENING VARIES BY MORE THAN 1/4"± FROM WHAT IS

SHOWN ON THE DRAWINGS CONTACT YOUR AD SYSTEMS PROJECT MANAGER.

STEP 1.2.1. ESTABLISH FRAME HEIGHT

· MEASURE THE WALL OPENING FROM THE TOP OF THE FINISH FLOOR TO

THE UNDERSIDE OF THE HEAD STUD AT EACH VERTICAL JAMB. THEN

AVERAGE THE TWO DIMENSIONS AND DEDUCT 1/4". THIS WILL GIVE YOU

THE DIMENSION OF THE FRAME HEIGHT.

· WRITE THIS NUMBER DOWN AS YOUR VERTICAL CUT LENGTH FOR THE

VERTICAL FRAMES. THIS WILL BE USED IN STEP 2.

STEP 1.2.2.

· FOR MULTIPLE DOOR OPENINGS IN A ROW, ESTABLISH A BENCH MARK

(LEVEL LINE) ACROSS THE DOORS.

· THE DIMENSION ABOVE BENCH MARK SHOULD STAY CONSTANT TO TOP

DOOR FRAME.

· DIMENSION BELOW BENCH MARK MAY VARY DEPENDING ON VARIANCES IN

FLOOR LEVEL.

· THESE STEPS WILL ENSURE ALL THE VALANCES ARE AT THE SAME HEIGHT

AND LEVEL.

· CHECK IF FLOOR IS LEVEL, MAKE NOTE OF ANY SIGNIFICANT INCLINE SO

STEPS CAN BE TAKEN LATER TO ADDRESS THIS.

TRACK SUPPORT AT HEAD FOR CARRIAGE TRACK REQUIREMENTS:

ALL EXISTING PRODUCT TESTING TO DATE HAS BEEN PERFORMED WITH 2x6

LUMBER BACKING IN THE WALL ABOVE DOOR FOR ENTIRE LENGTH OF DOOR

TRACK, FIGURE 1A.

THE SUPPORT IS REQUIRED TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE FASTENER PULL-OUT

RESISTANCE, AND ALSO INCREASED VERTICAL RESISTANCE TO "SEE-SAW"

TILTING ACTION OF THE FASTENER OVER TIME DUE TO THE WEIGHT AND

VIBRATION OF THE DOOR MOVEMENT.

IF ANY SUPPORT METHOD OR MATERIAL OTHER THAN 2x6 LUMBER BACKING

IS USED, IT WILL NEED TO BE VERIFIED BY THE CUSTOMER'S AUTHORIZED

STRUCTURAL ENGINEER.

AD SYSTEMS STANDARD WARRANTY WILL NOT COVER ANY ISSUES

THAT RESULT FROM INADEQUATE WALL BACKING OR IMPROPER

MOUNTING OF THE DOOR CARRIAGE TRACK.

YOUR DOOR OPENINGS.

· REFER TO AD SYSTEMS SHOP DRAWINGS FOR JOB SPECIFIC GLAZING DETAILS AND

DIMENSIONS.

ALUMINUM DOORS:

STEP 22.1. CALCULATING GLASS SIZE FOR ALUMINUM DOOR OPENING

· GLASS FOR ALUMINUM DOORS IS CALCULATED BY USING DAYLIGHT OPENING DIMENSIONS,

FIGURE 22A.

· TAKE DAYLIGHT OPENING DIMENSIONS (DLO) FROM ELEVATION DRAWINGS, ADD 3/4" (3/8"

EACH SIDE) TO WIDTH AND HEIGHT, FIGURE 22C.

· THESE DIMENSION WILL BE SIZE OF GLASS TO BE INSTALLED.

STEP 22.2. INSTALL GLASS IN ALUMINUM DOOR OPENING
