Dado Automation does not
provide installation services. The typical
installation in handled by the General
Contractor. All PDF files, including
installation guides, are found on the DOWNLOADS
link. For a basic overview of a standard pocket
door application, please see the Framing
Guide PDF.
Based on a Finished Opening and Width and Height, a
PDF drawing can be generated to show the ACTUAL door
panel size to fit the opening, including the
dimensions from:
Finished Floor To bottom of door
Finished Floor to bottom of support header
Finished Floor to ceiling
Finished Floor to top of door panel
Typically, the install
is done with the basic drawings found on the Downloads

Consultation
via email and phone is available to insure a
smooth install
process. Custom shop drawings can be
prepared on request(depending on the
complexity and time required to prepare such
drawings, a design fee may be
required). No prior experience with
the Dado System is required. The motor
is shipped with wires ready to connect to
the Master Controller. There are no
special requirements for the Master
Controller AC power.
The minimum framing requirement is the
support header. The track system
attaches to the support header with threaded
rod. The support header can be any
thickness, as long as it has the structural
integrity to support the load. Support
materials range from steel angle or plate,
2x4's or 2x6's, 4x6", 4x12", plywood,
etc. The main criteria is that the
threaded rod needs access above and below
the support header to adjust the nuts on the
threaded rod.
