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.

Measure the distance from the top of the windload post to the center of the bottom strap (see Fig. 13). Use that measurement for the dimension between the center of the extra header lock bracket and half-hinge tube. Posi- tion 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 neces- sary. (see Fig. 12)
