WIND LOAD POST

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) 5/16- 18 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.
