Reposition both wall jambs. Secure the wall
jambs with screws.

Subtract 1/32” (1 mm) or the width of a saw
blade from “B.” Mark and cut the top track.
Place the top track over the wall jambs (either
side may face out). At each end of the top track,
insert and twist a bumper into place over the
rails. Slide the bumpers against the wall jambs.
For both doors, slide a gasket over the top of the
glass panel and into each mounting hole. Press
the hanger bracket over the gasket and align the
