Required Tools (Not Included):
- Measuring Tape
- Pencil
- Drill
- Screwdriver (Phillips head recommended)
- Level
- Saw (for cutting track if necessary, suitable for aluminum)
Installation Steps:
- Prepare the Opening: Ensure your door opening is clean and clear. Verify door panel thickness is 1 3/8" or 1 3/4". If necessary, cut the track to the desired length (track length = 2 x door width - 1").
- Slide Rollers to the Track: Insert the three-wheel hangers into the track. Ensure they slide freely within the track channels.
- Mount the Track to the Opening: Position the track above the door opening. Use a level to ensure it is perfectly horizontal. Mark and drill pilot holes, then secure the track using appropriate fasteners. The built-in front cover should face outwards.

- Mount Hanger Plates to Doors: Attach the hanger plates to the top edge of each door panel. Ensure they are centered and securely fastened.

- Hang the Doors: Carefully lift each door panel and engage the hanger plates with the rollers in the track. The quick-release locking tab allows for easy installation and removal.
- Install the Floor Guide: Position the adjustable floor guide at the bottom of the door opening. This guide prevents the doors from swinging outwards. Adjust it to fit your door thickness (1 3/8" or 1 3/4") and secure it to the floor.

5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your bypass door hardware.
- Cleaning: Wipe the aluminum track and rollers periodically with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Lubrication: If the doors begin to feel stiff, apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the roller bearings and along the track. Do not use oil-based lubricants as they can attract dust.
- Inspection: Periodically check all screws and fasteners to ensure they are tight. Re-tighten if necessary. Inspect rollers for any signs of wear or damage.
- Floor Guide: Ensure the floor guide remains clear of obstructions and is securely fastened.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your JUBEST Bypass Door Hardware, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|

| Doors come off the track. | Track not level; rollers not properly engaged; damaged rollers. | Verify the track is perfectly level. Re-engage rollers into the track. Inspect rollers for damage and replace if needed. Ensure the quick-release tabs are securely locked. |
