General Tips

To cut tracks clean and straight:

• Use masking tape or painters tape to ensure a straight cut.

• Secure the track in a miter box when cutting with a hacksaw.

• If using a miter saw, use a blade meant for cutting metal.

To trim wall jamb corners:

• The wall jambs fit over the bottom track leaving a small amount of adjustability from the inside legs of the wall jambs.

• If the bottom track is cut on an angle or 1/4" (6 mm) too short, the legs of the wall jambs should provide sufficient space to cover the mistake.
