DENT LOCKING BAR INSTALLATION
Figure 1
The height of the locking bar is located anywhere on latch side of door. Ensure that there is no interference
with exterior or internal components that might have been added after factory manufacturing. The longer
half of the locking bar will mount on the door cap and the shorter half will mount on the door panel. The
locking bar pieces are mounted approximately 1/8" back from edge of respective door opening edges.
Figures 2 & 3
Once locking bar height is established, mark a vertical line 2 1/8" inward from exterior door cap edge and
place the backing plate against it at locking bar height. Center punch the (3) hole locations on the backing
plate. Ensure that backing plate is level.
Figure 4
Drill (1) 5/16" hole through both exterior and interior metal. This hole must be drilled perpendicular to door
cap surface with reasonable accuracy (This hole will locate backing plate against interior metal when locating
interior holes).
Figure 5
Using one of the 1/4" x 4" bolts, temporarily place backing plate against the interior door cap and center
punch remaining interior hole locations. Ensure that backing plate is level.
Figure 6
Drill the remaining (2) 5/16" holes thru interior door cap metal and foam insulation.
Figure 7
On exterior of door cap, drill (3) 5/8" holes 1 1/4" deep using the (1) 5/16" hole and (2) center punch marks.
Figure 8
Install long half of locking bar on exterior of door cap with the (3) 1/4" x 4" bolts, (3) flat washers and (1)
backing plate.
Figure 8
Locate mounting hole center for shorter half of locking bar by measuring 1 1/2" down from the top edge of
long half of locking bar and 11/16" from door panel opening edge.
Figure 9
Drill a 7/16" hole through exterior and interior metal. This hole must be drilled perpendicular to door surface
with reasonable accuracy.
Figure 9
Drill 5/S" hole using the 7/16" hole in exterior metal approximately 1 1/4" deep on exterior metal.
Figures 10 & 11
Insert locking bar into 5/8" hole and position it level with the other half. lightly tap on locking bar with
hammer to dimple metal with the alignment pin (On the back to locking bar half). Use this dimple for
location and drill a 5/16" hole for the alignment pin through the exterior metal of door cap approximately
1/4" deep.
Figure 12
