Method for mounting a flexible-panel door to a door frame of a building

A method of mounting a flexible-panel door to a door frame of a building, the door frame defining a top, a bottom and first and second spaced-apart sides extending between the top and the bottom, the first and second sides defining a width of the door frame therebetween, the method comprising:

• slidably engaging opposite ends of a first elongated rail of the flexible-panel door with first and second end caps respectively, the first and second end caps affixed to ends of first and second respective side rails of the flexible-panel door, the first rail, first end cap and second end cap together defining an adjustable-length first rail member,
• slidably engaging opposite ends of a second elongated rail of the flexible-panel door with third and fourth end caps respectively, the third and fourth end caps affixed to opposite ends of the first and second respective side rails, the second rail, third end cap and fourth end cap together defining an adjustable-length second rail member, and one of the first and second side rails carrying a flexible panel extending between the first and second rail members and extendable toward the other of the first and second side rails,
• securing the first side rail to (i) the first side of the door frame with the first rail member defining a top rail member at or adjacent to the top of the door frame and the second rail member defining a bottom rail member at or adjacent to the bottom of the door frame, or to (ii) the second side of the door frame with the first rail member defining the bottom rail member and the second rail member defining the top rail member,
• with the first side rail secured to or in contact with the first or the second side of the door frame, moving the second side rail into contact with the other of the first and second sides of the door frame while sliding at least one of the first rail relative to at least one of the first and second end caps and the second rails relative to the at least one of the third and fourth end caps and thereby adjusting a length of at least one of the adjustable-length first and second rail members to extend across the width of the door frame at or adjacent to respective ones of the door frame top and bottom, and
• with the second side rail in contact with the other of the first and second side of the door frame, securing the second side rail to the other of the first and second side of the door frame.

• slidably engaging opposite ends of an elongated bottom rail of the flexible-panel door with third and fourth end caps respectively, the third and fourth end caps affixed to opposite ends of the first and second respective side rails, the bottom rail, third end cap and fourth end cap together defining an adjustable-length bottom rail member, and one of the first and second side rails carrying a flexible panel extending between the top and bottom rail members and extendable toward the other of the first and second side rails,
• positioning the first side rail in contact with the first side of the door frame,
• securing the first and third end caps to the first side of the door frame or to the building adjacent to the first side of the door frame,
• with the first and third end caps secured to or in contact with the first side of the door frame or to the building adjacent to the first side of the door frame, moving the second side rail into contact with the second side of the door frame while sliding at least one of the top rail relative to at least one of the first and second end caps and the bottom rail relative to at least one of the third and fourth end caps and thereby adjusting a length of at least one of the adjustable-length top and bottom rail members to extend across the width of the door frame at or adjacent to the door frame top and bottom respectively, and
• with the second side rail in contact with the second side of the door frame, securing the second and fourth end caps to the second side of the door frame or to the building adjacent to the second side of the door frame.
