NOTE: It is recommended that lag screws be pilot
drilled using a 3/16” drill bit prior to fastening.
IMPORTANT! If there is drywall or other materials covering the header it is required that such materials be
removed from the header lock bracket location(s) and replaced with the same thickness of wood before installing
the header lock bracket(s). If this process is performed, the length of the lag screws MUST be increased by the
thickness of wood material, so that a minimum of 1-1/2” penetration into the existing header is obtained.
Bottom Bracket Installation

Locate the bottom bracket assembly and align it to the
bottom of the post. Secure the bottom bracket to the
bottom of the windload post using (4) 1/4-20 x 11/16”
self-drilling screws. (see Fig. 3)
NOTE: The bottom of the windload post is fl ush
while the top is offset.

extension. Hold in position and secure using (4) 1/4-20 x 7/8” self-drilling screws. (see Fig. 6)
Slide the top plate extension assembly into the header bracket. Now, install the windload post into the post hole
in the fl oor and align the top of the windload post with the top plate extension assembly. Ensure that the post is
level and plumb. Using (2) 1/4-20 x 7/8” self-drilling screws, secure the windload post to the top plate extension
assembly. (see Fig. 7)
NOTE: Doors without a 2” U-bar on the top section will require an extra Jr. “A” frame bracket, at the top

Securing Post for Storage
Locate a convenient place to store the windload post(s).
Measure and cut (2) 2” x 6” wood mounting blocks a
minimum of 10” long for each windload post. Locate
the mounting blocks horizontally on the wall as shown
in Fig. 12. Secure them adequately to the wall at the top
and bottom of the post storage location, with masonry
anchors for concrete construction, or 16 penny nails for
wood construction. Measure a distance of 6” greater than
door height as illustrated in Fig. 12, and mount the extra
header lock bracket(s) to the top mounting block(s) using
(2) 5/16” x 1-5/8” lag screws as shown in Fig. 12.

measurement for the dimension between the center of
the extra header lock bracket and half-hinge tube. Position the half-hinge on the bottom mounting block and
secure the half-hinge using (2) 5/16” x 1-5/8” lag screws.
Repeat this step for remaining windload posts if necessary. (see Fig. 12)
