INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Step 6:

Place the post assembly 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. Allowing the outer post to slide down the inner post, insert the 1/2-13 x 3-1/2” bolt at the bottom of the outer post into the hole in the fl oor. Ensure the bolt is fully inserted into the fl oor. the nut on the underside of the bottom lock plate must rest on the fl oor.

Step 7:

Beginning at the top hinge, place the strap over the post as shown in

gure 3. Align the holes in the ends of the strap over the tube in the hinge and insert a 5/16” hitch pin as shown. Raise the back of the strap until the strap is perpendicular to the post. Connect the strap to the post with (1) 5/16-12 x 1” self drilling screw and fl at washer 1/4” above the strap on the garage side of the post and 1/4” below the strap on the door side of the post as shown. Do not tighten the screws against the strap. Repeat for the remaining straps. The bottom locking strap should be located at the half hinge location installed in step 5.

NOTE: The strap is designed to slide freely between the screws allowing movement of the door relative to the post. Do not place the screws through the strap or tighten the screws too tight restricting movement.

After all of the straps have been installed, check the post to make sure it is secure by lifting up on the post. If the post raises out of the header lock bracket, check the location of the screws above and below the straps. The garage side screws must be located above the strap as shown in the fi gure 4.
