Standard vs Pre-Hung
The Standard system is our most popular and basic set of hardware. The hardware comes with hangers, a track, and all the components to hang the hardware. The Pre-Hung system takes it a step further, and simplifies installation. The track comes installed on a header board. This leaves installation to require attaching hangers to door, and then screwing the header into the wall. With a standard system you need to first attach the bolts through the track and spacers, attach the stops, and place the hangers. Learn more about the Patented Pre-Hung option below.
WHAT IT MEANS
The track arrives installed on a header board. Instead of assembling the loose components of spacers, lag bolts, stops, and stop bolts, you simply have one piece ready to hang.
HOW TO INSTALL THE HEADER
Simply place the header over the opening and screw through the header and into the studs in the wall. Screws will be provided in the order.
