TRACK BYPASS INSTALLATION
The box out board system for track shutters is supplied loose (not pre-assembled) for installation
onsite. This benefits the fitter who may need to make adjustments onsite, where pre-assembled
kits have no room for adjustment. Standard framing inclusions are:
• Headboard, 2 x sideboards and bottom board if required.
• Fascia plus returns for outside mount.
• Metal headboard support brackets.
• 1 x length hang strip to support the headboard for outside mount
• 2 x lengths light block to use as sideboard supports or for extra light blocking
There are multiple methods to mount track shutters so we will cover the most common here.
INSIDE MOUNT:
1. Lay all of the framing pieces (boards) face up on the floor or your workspace.
2. Screw from above the headboard down into the sideboards.
3. Screw from sideboards into the bottom board if applicable.
4. Lift the assembled box unit and place inside the recess in your measured position.
5. Screw up into the recess from the underside of the headboard to tack into place with
fixing screws, taking care not to screw all the way into place.
6. Make necessary adjustments to ensure box out frame is level.
7. Drive headboard fixing screws in all the way.
8. Screw through the sideboards into the wall or architrave.
9. If no bottom board supplied, attach bottom tracks by measuring the distance from the
edge of headboard to centre of each track and position the bottom tracks the same
distance. Use the supplied double-sided tape to fix tracks in place direct to the floor. (Does
not apply to bottom board as track is recessed).
10. Check all necessary hardware/componentry is fitted into the top track and panels.
11. Fit rear panels into the back track first, attaching the wheel carrier brackets to the wheel
carriers in the top track and lock them in place. Compress the bottom guides and release
into place in the bottom track.
12. If fitting co-joined panels, line panels up beside each other and drop hinge pins in to
attach.
13. Make any necessary adjustments at the wheel carriers and sideboards to ensure panels
are squared up and they operate correctly.
14. Attach returns to fascia if applicable using L brackets.
15. Attach fascia according to diagrams on page 53.
a. OPUS – attach L brackets to underside front edge of headboard, then attach fascia
b. ENCORE – back off headboard fixing screws to loosen headboard slightly. Slide
fascia angle in between headboard and recess. Make adjustments to position
fascia and drive headboard fixing screws back in fully to hold fascia in place.
