INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1:

Attach the header lock bracket to the header using the (4) 5/16” x 1-5/8” lag screws provided as shown in ﬁ gure 1. The header lock bracket should be in line with the intermediate hinges where the post is to be installed and located such that the bottom of the bracket is approximately 2-1/2” above the top of the door.

NOTE: Drywall or any other sacriﬁ cial material covering the header must be removed prior to installing the header lock bracket and replaced with the same thickness of wood. If this process is required, the length of the lag screws must be increased accordingly to include the thickness of the wood so that a minimum of 1-1/2” of lag screw penetration into the header is maintained.

Step 2:

Align the large diameter hole in the top plate extension with the ﬁ rst hole in the top lock plate as shown in ﬁ gure 1 and bolt together with (1) 5/1618 x 2-1/2” hex bolt and nut. Align the assembly over the top of the inner post and secure with (4) 5/16-12 x 1” self drilling screws through the holes provided in the top lock plate. Slide the opposite end of the inner post into one end of the outer post.

Step 3:

Place the post assembly from step 2 into position by lowering the top plate extension into the notch in the header lock bracket until the top plate extension seats in the bottom of the notch. Allow the outer post to slide down the inner post until the bottom of the outer post rests on the ﬂ oor. Plumb the post assembly.

Step 4:

Ensuring the post assembly is plumb, trace the outline of the bottom of the outer post on the ﬂ oor. Remove the post assembly and set aside until step 5. Locate the center of the traced outline by connecting the corners to form an ‘x’. at the intersection of the ‘x’, drill a 5/8” diameter hole a minimum of 3-1/2” deep into the ﬂ oor. Clean dust out of hole.

Step 5:

Place the half hinge at the bottom of the bottom section in line with the intermediate hinges and just above the lowest u-bar and attach with (4) 1/4-20 x 11/16” self drilling screws as shown in ﬁ gure 2. Assemble the bottom lock plate by sliding (1) 1/2-13 x 3-1/2” bolt down through the top the bracket and securing with the hex nut from below. Attach the bottom lock plate to the bottom of the outer post with (4) 5/16-12 x 1” self drilling screws as shown in ﬁ gure 2.

Step 6:

Place the post assembly into position by lowering the top plate extension into the notch in the header lock bracket until the top plate extension seats in the bottom of the notch. Allowing the outer post to slide down the inner post, insert the 1/2-13 x 3-1/2” bolt at the bottom of the outer post into the hole in the ﬂ oor. Ensure the bolt is fully inserted into the ﬂ oor. the nut on the underside of the bottom lock plate must rest on the ﬂ oor.

Step 7:

Beginning at the top hinge, place the strap over the post as shown in ﬁ gure 3. Align the holes in the ends of the strap over the tube in the hinge and insert a 5/16” hitch pin as shown. Raise the back of the strap until the strap is perpendicular to the post. Connect the strap to the post with (1) 5/16-12 x 1” self drilling screw and ﬂ at washer 1/4” above the strap on the garage side of the post and 1/4” below the strap on the door side of the post as shown. Do not tighten the screws against the strap. Repeat for the remaining straps. The bottom locking strap should be located at the half hinge location installed in step 5.

NOTE: The strap is designed to slide freely between the screws allowing movement of the door relative to the post. Do not place the screws through the strap or tighten the screws too tight restricting movement.

After all of the straps have been installed, check the post to make sure it is secure by lifting up on the post. If the post raises out of the header lock bracket, check the location of the screws above and below the straps. The garage side screws must be located above the strap as shown in the ﬁ gure 4.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

SECURING POSTS FOR STORAGE

Step 1:

Locate a convenient location as close to the door as possible and mount a header lock bracket to the wall such that the distance between the bottom of the header lock bracket and the ﬂ oor is 4” greater than the distance between the ﬂ oor and the bottom of the header lock bracket mounted over the door. The header lock bracket for storage shall be mounted with a minimum of (2) 5/16” x 1-5/8” lag screws (one each side) into solid wood. Masonry anchors may be substituted for mounting directly to masonry or concrete. Provide wood blocking adequately secured to structure as required for other substrates.

Step 2:

Mount a half hinge to the wall in line with the header lock bracket such that the distance between the centerline of the tube in the half hinge and the ﬂ oor is 4” greater than the distance between the centerline

of the tube in the half hinge on the door and the ﬂ oor when the door is fully closed. The half hinge for storage shall be mounted with a minimum of (2) 5/16” x 1-5/8” lag screws into solid wood. masonry anchors may be substituted for mounting directly to masonry or concrete. Provide wood blocking adequately secured to structure as required for other substrates.

Step 3:

Place the post into the storage position by lowering the top plate extension into the notch in the header lock bracket until the top plate extension seats in the bottom of the notch. Secure the bottom locking strap to the half hinge using the 5/16” hitch pin. Place all remaining hitch pins into the remaining locking straps for storage. Insert the plastic plug into the hole in the ﬂ oor.

ATTACHING THE INSTALLATION DECALS
