Top Plate Extension Installation

Locate the top plate extension and top strap bracket. Place the top strap bracket onto the top plate extension and adjust so that the holes in the top strap bracket align with the corresponding door model holes in the top plate 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 floor 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 of the section. (see Fig. 7).
