Header Lock Bracket Installation

Mark a vertical line on the header, aligned with the center of the Jr. “A” frame bracket. Measure up 1-1/2” above the top of the door and mark a horizontal line. Center the header lock bracket with the vertical line and align the bottom of the header lock bracket with the horizontal line. Secure the header lock bracket to the header using (4) 5/16” x 1-5/8” lag screws.

(see Fig. 2)

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.
